COLUMBUS, Ohio, April 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- In today's increasingly connected world, collaboration often spells the difference between attaining corporate goals and missing the mark. People work and play in unbounded ways today, gaining insight and intelligence from anywhere on the planet in a matter of seconds. This is especially true for the next generation workforce now joining the corporate ranks. Having grown up with ubiquitous connectivity and collaboration, they expect the same level of unfettered access to tools, applications and data in the workplace.

ICC, the business and IT solutions company that correctly predicted the 2014 Oscars and designs interactive healthcare apps for ER physicians, also makes this type of collaboration a reality through business-focused solutions and deep technical know-how utilizing Microsoft's SharePoint platform. To help business and IT professionals better understand the changing landscape around collaborative technologies and applications, the company is hosting its annual Heartland SharePoint Conference 2014 event where attendees will be able to exchange ideas, hear from experts and network their successes. Interested business and IT professionals are encouraged to register for the upcoming Conference at http://bit.ly/1qVVOyT.

Keynote speaker Steve Caravajal, Microsoft's Director of Digital Strategy, will discuss how the new age of collaboration is being shaped by the convergence of social, mobile, cloud, and the Information Revolution. Just as the Industrial Revolution forever changed the way companies manufacture products, the Information Revolution is altering how organizations conduct business, forcing business leaders to confront issues such as disruptive technologies, corporate fragmentation and employee disengagement. Caravajal will show how people-centric approaches and technological advancements will help businesses remain current, connected and competitive.

Special-interest Conference Tracks

Through the open exchange of ideas, attendees will gain new insights into the impact of social, mobile, analytics and cloud on today's workforce. They can choose from five special interest tracks led by experts from Worthington Industries, Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services, Microsoft, Dell, Nintex, Clutch and ICC.
