Welcome to the December edition of Bamboo e-news

Bamboo has always held transparency to be integral to how we do business. Keeping in line with our fundamentals, we've brought back the year in review feature, offering behind-the-scenes insights from each member of the Bamboo management team. Want to see where we've been and where we're going? Visit the Nation to learn about what we have in store for 2010.

December saw the public release of two major products. Bamboo Conductor for SharePoint Workflows Beta is a collection of components that allows users to easily create, deploy, and manage workflows in SharePoint.  It enables you to design workflows using a simple drag-and-drop interface and customize them with features like conditional branching and the request of feedback/approval.  With Conductor, you'll be able to manage all of your workflows across multiple Web Apps, giving you the features and flexibility you need. Download Conductor today and have your feedback included in the final release!

SharePoint File Share Library allows you to have complete access to your existing network file shares, while utilizing the SharePoint Document Libraries interface that your users are comfortable with. You can break SharePoint's 50MB file size barrier by seamlessly viewing the documents in the Document Library from the shared drive. While this eliminates the need to import all of your documents into SharePoint, File Share Library can also assist you with a gradual or one-time file import at your discretion. Why bring your files to SharePoint when you can bring SharePoint to them? Download a free 30-day trial today.

Cheers and Happy Holidays,

Team Bamboo

Just as Bamboo is committed to bringing you the latest technology and information, our Partner Channel is equally committed to helping you with SharePoint consulting, hosting, implementation, custom technology needs and training; no matter where you are in your deployment or in the world. 

To better help you leverage our Channel, we've updated our Partner site.  Come see what organizations have accomplished with the help of Bamboo's partners and Bamboo products, and find out how you can get in touch with a Partner near you.

An interactive Partner Locator map will help you find the partner who will best serve your needs.  There are search filters based on services to narrow your results, and markers on the map to help you gauge the locations of the partners.  Hovering over a marker will pop-up a display for an at-a-glance look at that listing.  If you click on the marker, the full partner bio will appear below.  You will need to scroll down to look at it!  If you find the map area you are looking at is heavily concentrated with markers, zoom in using the bar on the left side of the map to magnify what you are viewing and to de-cluster the markers.  Let us know what you think of this new site by emailing us at partner@bamboosolutions.com.

We have also had some new partners join the program including Blue Rooster in Seattle WA, Pharmica Consulting in Oak Ridge, NJ, RJB Tech in Blue Bell, PA and our newest international partner in Greece, Sieben.
