I will be presenting at the Information Worker Community Day 2010 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This event is jointly organized by the Malaysia SharePoint User Group and Microsoft Innovation Center (Malaysia).

In many organizations, business data is stored across different systems, legacy systems or custom applications.  Traditionally accessing these data and making it viewable in a web pages, making it searchable requires an enormous amount of custom code.

I will be speaking on the new functionality inside SharePoint Server 2010’s Business Connectivity Services (BCS), evolved from the 2007’s Business Data Catalog, that makes it extremely easy to display, edit these information and searchable within SharePoint 2010.

If you are like me, when you have installed SharePoint Server 2010, you would want to check out the new Office Web Applications and see how it works with SharePoint Server 2010.

The Office Web Applications consists 3 service applications which will be available after installation.  And once deployed, 3 additional site collection features will be added to the web application, if these service applications are associated with the web application.

It is official now that the next version of SharePoint, which we used to call SharePoint 14 or SharePoint v.Next will be called SharePoint 2010.  You may notice that the term “Office” has been removed from the name.  So the MOSS acronym does not fit anymore.  You can read the details @ http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepoint/archive/2009/04/14/microsoft-sharepoint-14-is-now-microsoft-sharepoint-2010.aspx
