“We (Gimmal) saw an opportunity to work with the DOCUMENT Strategy Forum team to incorporate more SharePoint into their Forum and are delighted to be part of this initiative. Our clients are focusing more on SharePoint as a key part of their document strategies, and the Forum, because of its focus, is a great venue to assemble the speakers and vendors to help organizations build their roadmaps for SharePoint,” says Michael R. Alsup, Senior Vice President, Gimmal. “We look forward to working with the DOCUMENT Strategy Forum team to make this a first-rate experience for organizations who are focused on SharePoint for documents, knowledge management, records and collaboration,” continues Alsup.

Attendees will get access to supporting online course modules and exam for 6 months and be awarded the SharePoint Practitioner designation after passing the online exam. “We are very excited to be working with both AIIM and Gimmal to deliver SharePoint content to our attendees. It’s great timing as many end users (attendees) are hungry for solutions as they face SharePoint adoption issues right now,” explains Joel Dunkel, President, EventEvolution Management, Inc., producer of DOCUMENT Strategy Forum. “Having two highly qualified organizations such as these help educate our attendees on how to properly plan, deploy and execute a SharePoint strategy into their enterprise is a huge bonus for all involved,” says Dunkel.
