On November 19th at the NJ Microsoft Offices we will be holding our monthly user group meeting.   I am pleased to announce that my buddy Dave Mann will be presenting on, what else? Workflows.  Dave as many of you will remember many years back (ok maybe one year back) wrote the first book on Workflows with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.   I have seen Dave present many times and this should be a great session.

Session Title “Deploying Workflows in a Large Scale SharePoint Environment”

Workflow in SharePoint is an exciting new capability. However, it is a capability that is often misunderstood when it comes to the impact it has on your environment. For small environments, the out-of-the-box settings, configurations and architectural approach are probably sufficient. But what about an environment that will be processing thousands of documents per day? How can you make sure that those environments will not falter under the load, but still meet SLA's for performance and responsiveness? This session will explore why focusing on your workflow subsystem is important, and cover the needs of a large scale workflow environment from the farm level down to individual workflow design specifications. Learn why all workflows need to be looked at in light of performance and scalability as well as how to build workflows that scale in an environment that scales, monitor workflow processing and overcome common obstacles. This session will cover architectural guidance for your SharePoint environment as well as specific coding practices to ensure you get the most out of your SharePoint workflows.
