Stephen Haas loves helping Microsoft partners worldwide develop their solution offerings, particularly on Microsoft products like Windows Server, SQL Server 2005, and the .NET Framework. An applications developer in the Developer and Platform Evangelism Group at Microsoft, Stephen invites all SI and ISV partners to attend Microsoft Partner MS101, which occurs in Redmond quarterly and annually in EMEA. The primary objective for Microsoft Partner MS101 is to enable and provide a jumpstart on Microsoft partners' understanding of Microsoft, covering strategies, products, customer marketing campaigns and field organization for key enterprise partner alliances, marketing and sales contacts to decrease the time-to-opportunities and engagement, and to drive wins and revenue for the partner and Microsoft.

Stephen Haas is accustomed to being on the cutting edge of application development. In 1998, he led the team that was one of the first to deliver a live multimedia webcast to help promote Bill Gates's book, Business @ the Speed of Thought. Using Microsoft Chat and NetShow 2.0, the first commercial streaming media system to support multicast streaming, his team enabled participants around the world to submit their questions about the book and to hear their questions answered live via streaming audio/video.

He has also worked extensively with Windows Media Services, which eventually replaced Microsoft NetShow. More recently, he has been involved with many varied projects involving Sharepoint in both WSS and MOSS flavors.

The latest version of Sharepoint is the first portal solution to incorporate business processes into their portal solution through check-in/check-out, version tracking and approval routing functionality. Built on Internet and industry standards such as XML, the digital dashboard-based UI can be easily customized and extended by adding Web Parts: reusable components that can contain any kind of Web-based information "Web Parts are a very big deal," says Stephen. "they allow companies to integrate any existing enterprise systems, such as the analytical and collaborative tools in Microsoft Office, Microsoft Exchange Server and Microsoft SQL Server, into their corporate portal."
