    • The transition between SharePoint 2007 and SharePoint 2010
    • Records management features of SharePoint 2007
    • 'In-place records management' in SharePoint 2010
    • The nature of the fileplan in SharePoint 2010
    • The approaches that different sectors have taken to SharePoint (including health and higher education)
