On Wednesday this week I'll be presenting at the Melbourne MOSSIG (Microsoft Office System Special Interest Group = Office and SharePoint user group powers combined) meeting. The meeting is at 5.30pm, 27th August @ Microsoft’s Innovation Centre, Level 5, 4 Freshwater place, Southbank.

This session will cover ways in which to utilise the tagging features of MOSS to create an attractive and easy-to-use intranet portal. We will use the New Zealand Ministry of Transport corporate intranet as an example. This intranet has won several awards including Microsoft’s Partner Solution of the year award, and was named in Neilson Norman Group’s “Top Ten Intranets of 2008”. A key part of this project was defining the information architecture (IA) for the site, and then designing the site structure around the IA to ensure optimal accessibility. The second key part of the project was to include community features that would engage intranet users and keep them coming back to the site. This session will cover how the IA and community tools were designed and delivered using MOSS 2007.
