D S Simon Vlog Views

Michele Davis, Senior Manager of Internal Communications for Xbox 360, discusses the benefits of implementing Microsoft SharePoint as an internal communication and internal collaboration tool with Christine Deerin, Divisional VP, West Coast for D S Simon Productions. Recorded at the ebay & Ragan Communications Social Media Revolution Conference.

Some of Michele’s VlogViews:

“Instead of sharing these large email files, SharePoint is a basic central repository where you can point people to. And it really helps with things like workflow and document version control.”

“The SharePoint that I work more closely with is using it as the platform for your intranet site. And the region I like SharePoint so much is because once I have the site built and have identified the content that I want online. Its easy for me to update that content on my own with having limited resources available to me.”

In addition to this video, a donation has been made in the name of our clients and friends to Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Newark, NJ.

About Big Brothers/Big Sisters

Big Brothers Big Sisters is the premiere mentoring agency in the nation and it has many children waiting for a caring adult mentor.  That person could be you!  Just think, young people improving their self-esteem, saying ‘No’ to drugs and alcohol, improving their school attendance, getting along better with their families and peers – all because they had a Big Brother or Big Sister.

Best wishes for a healthy and happy new year from all of us at D S Simon Productions.
