A workshop for Trusts needing to automate business process, improve collaboration and provide rigour in their compliance.  Hear from some of Black Marble's specialists, explaining how we can help improve organizational effectiveness by providing comprehensive content management, enterprise search, accelerating shared business processes, and facilitating information-sharing across organisational boundaries for better business insight.  Black Marble will relate SharePoint to real organisational issues and demonstrate how the system can directly benefit the NHS. Drawing on experience, crucial advice will be given on how to ensure the success of a SharePoint deployment and put in place the policies to manage the solution over time.
