Credera is proud to sponsor the 8th annual SharePoint TechFest Dallas. SharePoint TechFest will be held at the Irving Convention Center in Irving, TX on April 6, 2016. This one-day conference is the largest SharePoint conference in the Central Region of the United States. This year’s 25 compelling break-out sessions will focus on converging Azure, Office 365 and SharePoint Technologies.

Kevin Grohoske, Senior Manager in Credera’s Microsoft practice, and Bryan Plantes, Senior Manager in Credera’s Analytics and Business Intelligence practice, will be presenting at a conference session entitled, Leveraging Cortana, SharePoint, and Power BI Together.

Microsoft continues to make great strides and investments turning SharePoint into the hub of the modern day business. With the recent addition of Cortana integration and Power BI/Analytics to the portfolio, businesses can now leverage powerful information management and data visualization with the simplicity of Cortana’s natural spoken language interface. In their presentation, Kevin and Bryan will demo how SharePoint, Cortana and Power BI together can seamlessly get you access to valuable data, drive insights, and promote collaborative action all through the power of voice!
