It’s less than a month away! Microsoft Ignite is going to be huge, as usual, and it’s going to be in Atlanta, GA. There is going to be so much going on, and I absolutely can’t wait to see you, all of my friends in the SharePoint community.

When running a small business or even a small department in a big company, there are many tasks to take care of, including day-to-day business accounting and marketing. Often, there are not enough hours in the day, and startups typically have smaller, fairly mobile staffs. This session covers Microsoft’s new PowerApps, which allows for the easy integration of multiple line of business systems. Learn how to improve efficiency by automating your processes using a combination of PowerApps and Microsoft Flow. This session includes a demonstration of how to create a PowerApp as a timesheet system for projects, as well as a custom social media interface.

Me at Ignite
Besides presenting these sessions, I’ll be around, most likely in the expo hall most of the time. I’ll be hanging out at the Harmon.ie booth, too, so stop by and say “hi”! Also, be sure to follow me and my SharePoint training company (@IWMentor) on twitter, and follow the #MSIgnite hashtag as well.
