Seth Earley, Founder and President of Earley & Associates, in announcing the speaker lineup, said,  "We are extremely happy to have great speakers with a range of perspectives.  Our first session brings together both an industry perspective from Leslie Owens, principal analyst at Forrester Research, and a practitioner's point of view from Jeff Carr of Microsoft."

Registrations for the series have already exceeded targets.   Gary Kahn, Earley & Associates' VP of Marketing, said, "SharePoint is really growing as an Enterprise Content Management (ECM) system and extending into every part of the enterprise, so we are seeing considerable interest.   There is also a real thirst for lessons learned from SharePoint experts.  Speakers include, MVPs such as  Ruven Gotz,  Christian Buckley, and Michal Pisarek."   Ruven Gotz, author of Practical SharePont 2010, Information Architecture,  speaks on June 20th to how businesses can take advantage of SharePoint's new taxonomy and metadata capabilities.

In summarizing the value of the series, Seth Earley said, "Despite all the interest in SharePoint, most organizations are not familiar with the best ways to maximize value of their investment in SharePoint.  If not careful, they end up with yet another repository where people are still unable to locate the information they need.  This series will show managers and practitioners what they need to do to effectively align SharePoint with business objectives and make content more findable and useful."

Delivered as a four-part series, Jumpstart Webinars provide deep exposure to issues facing business sponsors and stakeholders as well as content management and search practitioners. 

Feedback from previous Jumpstarts includes comments such as:

"I found the webinar informative and useful to take back to my organization. With the new knowledge, I hope to establish valuable and consistent standards for SharePoint deployment." --J.K, Content Coordinator
