Results of a meeting with the technical director of the SharePoint Development Group (Arpan Shah, Microsoft)

In general, yesterday was tense.

Round table of technical managers of system integrators with the same Arpan Shah. Mark Dreyband specially arrived from the Nizhny Novgorod office to ensure presence there.

And in the evening I managed to communicate with Arpan personally -

So, the meeting itself, as it immediately went on to very constructive communication, was no longer enough for extra polices and long introductions. Planned an hour, sat a half, and perhaps only the proximity of the flight of the aircraft kept from further communication.

Key findings for system integrators:

1) BCS (formerly BDC) will be actively used to develop connectors to various systems, including those of partners. It is theoretically possible for Microsoft to develop and support connectors for solutions popular in our country (for example, 1C). The format and size of the help from Microsoft can be discussed. (If anyone is interested - write to me). We ourselves (UMSoft) will probably upgrade our connector to 2010, but further issues of the development of a free distributed connector to 1C require the involvement of more developers and partners.

2) Microsoft's SharePoint promotion marketing will focus on workloads (BPIO, BI, Internet). Accordingly, the development of partnership solutions is expected in these areas. To me personally, the option of moving along the FOSH model (horizontally - finance, personnel, etc.) has always seemed more effective, but let's see what happens next.

3) There is a very large community of SharePoint developers (individuals and companies) in the world, many of whom have interesting solutions. You can and should use them in your work, it is not necessary to “reinvent the wheel.”
