In the past months I talked a lot about Document Management with SharePoint 2013. In my last session in Rosenheim there has been an interesting question. The scope of the standard Document ID provider that is shipped with SharePoint is ‘Site Collection’. In other word: to activate the Document ID you need to activate a Site Collection feature. What happens if you have two different Site Collections that use each the standard Document ID provider and you move a document (with a valid Document ID) from one Site Collection to the other?
One of the most difficult areas of delivering a SharePoint solution is identifying not just who should be targetted for User Adoption, but, going forward, how to sustain that User Adoption through communication.

I sat through a partner event in Microsoft’s Chicago offices yesterday, listening to two large customers of SharePoint and Yammer (Exelon and Aon) outline the factors for success of their deployments, and the lessons learned. It was a great event by Axceler partners Rightpoint (www.Rightpoint.com) and was hosted by one of the most recognized community leaders in the social and SharePoint combined space, Jeff Willinger (@jwillie), with a roadmap discussion by Microsoft business productivity specialist, Jason Bullock.
