SharePoint 2010 Hosting - ASPHostPortal :: Information Rights Management and Sharepoint 2010
Information Rights Management is an important subject given the recent events with Julian Assange and Wikileaks. This issue doesn't directly touch our personal lives (yet) unless of course you are a diplomat. However it does pose a serious question for corporate lives and for enterprise content management. We'll discuss how portals and specifically Sharepoint 2010 help with Information Rights Management and what can you do to ensure that the right people have access to the right information at the right times – nothing more and nothing less is the need of the hour
What is Information Rights Management?
Information Rights Management also known as ERM, EDRM, Documents Rights Management, IR Management and sometimes confused with DRM is using technology to ensure that the information and content that your organization creates and distributes is accessible by the right people and only for the duration you deem fit and "consumed" in the appropriate manner. What I mean by consumption is copying, pasting, emailing or transferring to a USB and mailing it to a postbox in Australia.
In this hyper connected, digitized, on-the-go, always on, lawsuit happy world it is imperative that organizations have some sort of policy and mechanism in place for IRM (clearly highlighted by what's happening with Wikileaks – can you imagine what will happen when they start publishing emails and documents that transpire between CEOs and HR Managers of large organizations, proposals between companies which hint at you give-us-this-order-and-we'll-meet-our-numbers, Software Architecture Diagrams for the next big Collaboration Site, Application for Patents, Show Cause notices). Yes, only the paranoid survive (and looks like the stock will get $40) and since I've made the case for IRM let's move on to the technology.
Sharepoint Foundation 2010 and IRM
Here is a good article on Sharepoint Foundation 2010 and what are the features it has to protect information. The article touches on the key features of Sharepoint and Windows that make this happen. It shows how Sharepoint and Windows Rights Management work together to ensure that once a file is uploaded to a protected document library the content is secured and consumable only by the intended audience and for the appropriate duration.

Note: there are restrictions on the kind of documents that can be protected. This can be extended by writing Custom IRM Protectors. There are also limitations on how these documents can be protected, for egs, printing a document, using the default screen capture, copy/pasting – these actions can be protected however there are some technically advanced methods such as manually writing the content on a piece of paper or using a 3rd party screen capture tool that cannot be controlled.
For the more technically, architecturally and visually inclined here is the IRM framework for Sharepoint 2010 - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms439625.aspx
Sharepoint 2010 provides the platform and technology to get you set up with basic IRM. This needs to be customized, extended and calibrated to work within different organizations and content.
In order to build a holistic solution you need both processes and people. For egs. while the data gets protected once it is in Sharepoint, there needs to be technology, people and process that ensures every piece of content that is created or distributed falls in line with corporate governance. There need to be audits and compliance checks. There needs to be training and education to ensure that every individual understands the impact of their actions and inactions.
Of course the most advanced, 100 % fail proof, "government grade security" (not sure what that means anymore) can be achieved by not saying, seeing, or doing "wrong" things (prevention is better than cure).

What software do business analysts use?
What is the most common software /project managers or business analysts use - I want to take courses and I am not sure in which ones ot get registered - I guess Microsoft Project and Project+ might be 2 - but what else? SAP? Sharepoint?
You're kind of touching a few different areas there. Project managers are probably going to say that they use Microsoft Project more than anything, but a lot of that depends on the company they work for and the scope of the project they are working on. The software does not matter anywhere near as much as the PM's approach to getting things done and making sure the project is completed correctly...of which there are several schools of thought (GTD, Covey, etc.). I've known several effective project managers who mainly just used MS Outlook and a lot of notepads.
SAP is generally regarded as enterprise software. It doesn't manage projects as much as keep track of everything in a common place and interconnect different parts of the business.
Sharepoint has the flexibility to be used as a project management tool and can achieve the desired results, but it generally functions as a doc management tool that heavily supports collaboration.
All three can be value-added experience to have, but the best one at this time depends on what you are working toward. If no specific goal, I would recommend Sharepoint experience just because it is evolving as we speak.

SharePoint Server 2007 - How to Publish an Excel Spreadsheet
SharePoint Training to Enhance Your Career
SharePoint 2010 is a networking solution provided by Microsoft. It is a web-related platform, which allows hosting of websites, portals, wikis, and blogs (to name a few,) and it can easily be integrated with the latest version of Microsoft Office. It also allows for web application development.
Although a free version of SharePoint and tutorials for user training are available, it is advised that formal SharePoint courses be taken to have a better appreciation of this software. The basic version, SharePoint Foundation 2010 freeware, may be sufficient for casual and small business use, but the advance features of the commercial version is more appropriate for serious business networking. To this end, trained personnel in the area of SharePoint administration and SharePoint applications development are required.
The Advantages of Formal SharePoint Training
Depending on your experience with SharePoint 2007, you may simply go ever manuals and textbooks highlighting the features of the latest version. Online tutorials can also help in upgrading your skills. However, if you have limited background on the subject, it is best to take a formal SharePoint training.
The advantage of formal training is that there is an instructor, who is an expert in the field, to guide you every step of the way. Usually, real world examples are used which lead to a better appreciation of the software. And if necessary, you will be given the necessary orientation to help you pass the MCITP Microsoft certification exam.
Types of SharePoint Training
Training varies. There are courses for ordinary SharePoint users, administrators, and application developers, and generally their content are as follows:
1. For ordinary SharePoint users, there is an introductory course wherein the focus is more on common applications like utilizing web resources and presenting documents. Navigation and search functions are also taught. There is no prerequisite for this course. But it is highly recommended for those whose tasks require proficiency in the use of SharePoint.
2. The course for administrators concentrates on designing and deployment of SharePoint infrastructure. Needless to say, administrative experience with Windows servers is required in order to take this course.
3. Those who are into software development will benefit from the SharePoint training on application development. This course is directed towards developers to enable them to build SharePoint-compatible software solutions. Of course, a solid background on this specific area is required.
The last two courses may be used as training for the Microsoft certification exam. Once certified, the IT professional will possess the necessary credentials for career advancement, and inevitably higher remuneration.
SharePoint Courses Online
Although traditional classroom training is recommended for these courses, online alternatives exist. This may be availed of by those based in distant locations as well as those who cannot allot a fixed schedule for the course. Many of these online programs allow for one-on-one with the trainer and interaction with their peers, very much like the traditional classroom set-up.
Regardless of how you take your SharePoint course, it is up to you to make the most of it. But completion of the course and getting a Microsoft certification will definitely enhance your career.
