Presentation Abstract:
Learn how your organization can implement workflows to provision sites. This session covers the importance of sites vs. site collections and their relationship to content databases. Site taxonomies are very important and most organizations want control of site provisioning, yet don't want to hamper the time-to-live of a site request. Learn how to implement a custom Microsoft Visual Studio .NET workflow for provisioning site collections, as well as a provisioning activity in Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer that can be given to a site collection administrator. Also see how you can leverage the out-of-the-box workflows in a provisioning strategy.
