What we’ve been up to lately with Microsoft Corporation…

Whether it’s building accessible technology or keynote demo material for Microsoft’s executives at massive global events, it’s fair to say Intergen has been keeping busy with our Microsoft friends in the Northern Hemisphere.

It's official - SharePoint 2010 is now available (and here's everything you need to know for starters)

If you’ve been following the Intergen blog lately, or if you attended our ‘SharePoint Unveiled’ launch yesterday in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, you’ll know that our SharePoint experts have been all-consumed by the latest release of the world’s leading business collaboration platform, SharePoint 2010.
