Session: What’s new in SharePoint 2010 for Information Workers
Abstract: We will take a look at the new features in SharePoint Server 2010 from the end-user’s perspective. Starting with a tour of the new user interface we will explore the new search results, social networking features and new ways to organise and classify content within sites. We’ll finish with a peak behind the scenes at the new administration settings and tips to consider when planning to deploy SharePoint Server 2010.
SharePoint Server 2010, like its predecessors, includes indexing and search capabilities. But what doesn’t come out of the box is the ability to index and search for PDF documents.
