Please join Dave Milner and me for the webinar entitled Best Practices for SharePoint 2010 Upgrade & Configuration, where we will outline various critical considerations and best practice strategies for the planning and conducting an upgrade from SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2010.

The webinar will include live demonstrations and discussion of the following points:

  • Who should upgrade, why & when
  • How to assess existing SharePoint deployments and identify upgrade risks and opportunities
  • Specific tasks that need to be done to prepare for SharePoint 2010
  • How to identify and upgrade existing 2007 customizations
