Joel Oleson talks to Richard and Greg about the IT management of Sharepoint. Sharepoint has a knack for showing up everywhere in an organization whether you want it to or not. A solid plan at the IT level to provide Sharepoint services to the organization can solve that problem.

As Senior Technical Product Manager for Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, Joel Oleson is responsible for IT Pro evangelism. His focus is on ensuring the IT Pro has what they need to succeed. He has been an advocate for enterprise deployments of SharePoint speaking at SharePoint Conferences world wide. His nearly 7 years at Microsoft and 5 years in Microsoft IT all of that time on SharePoint Products and Technologies sets him apart. He also manages a SharePoint blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/joelo that has often been referred to as “The SharePoint Bible” by loyal readers.
