OSP01-INT | Microsoft Access Services: Under the Hood
Session Type: Interactive Session
Track: Office & SharePoint
Speaker(s): Kerry Westphal
Level: 300 - Advanced

Access Services introduces a new toolset to develop Microsoft SharePoint-connected applications. Learn how Access Services works with SharePoint to deliver a new user experience. We discuss the data caching model that Access Services uses to optimize queries with larger sets of data.

OSP05-INT | Microsoft Access 2010 and IT: The War Is Over
Session Type: Interactive Session
Track: Office & SharePoint
Speaker(s): Russell Sinclair
Level: 200 - Intermediate

Access enables end-users in business units to develop applications quickly at low cost. This agility is valued by large organizations around the world. However, some of these same organizations struggle with managing the myriad of Access databases in use. This session covers the new tools and techniques now available to keep IT firmly in control. The best of both worlds is possible: you can satisfy the need for agile development from your business units and still rest assured that the data is secured, backed up, and managed appropriately.

Note: I don’t think the war is or will be over.
