What is a User Profile User Profile vs. MySite Where Do I Start Demo The Cool Stuff The Rewards Corporate Directory
Agenda
What is a User Profile?
A user profile is a visual display of personal data associated with a specific user, or a customized desktop environment.
User Profile vs.
MySites
• Can you have one without the other?
• Why would you not have MySites?
• Any reason you would not use User Profiles?
Moral of the Story…
User Profiles and MySites may seem like the same thing and look like they are the same thing but in reality…. Are two totally different creatures.
