It’s that time again. It’s become a bit of a tradition to lay out predictions for the coming year at the beginning of January. For me, it’s a relatively recent tradition I started in 2015. My predictions focus around search, digital workplaces, and market dynamics involving Microsoft. This year I started by recording a podcast, […]

In my 12 years working with over 150 enterprise SharePoint customers, I have heard a few common themes as to why SharePoint intranet projects fail. And, if your employees hate your intranet, then they won’t use it, no matter how much training you provide or how many user guides you prepare. At the end of […]

Back in March I did an analysis of “the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly” of SharePoint 2016 (you can see our recorded webinar on this here). This was just after the Release to Manufacturing (RTM) of SharePoint 2016. I went through it in four areas: Infrastructure, User Experience, Compliance, and Hybrid. There was a lot […]

On average, only 28% of the information that workers need resides in SharePoint or O365. The majority is spread across multiple line-of-business systems both on-premises and in the cloud. Intranets and Portals are expected to provide easy access to everything employees, partners or customers need – so what to do? Moving it all to O365 […]

The Ignite Conference last week was exhilarating. There is a torrent of new, great content, with 950 sessions including 635 full breakouts – and all of it is freely available on Channel 9 (or will be by the time you read this). I’m still working my way through the 103 sessions I marked as “must […]

It seems that hybrid is everywhere these days. As I write this, SPTechCon is happening in Austin http://www.sptechcon.com. Arpan Shah of Microsoft just did a keynote in which he emphasized successful hybrid scenarios in which people are unaware where documents or data are being stored. Hybrid was featured in sessions by my friends Christina Wheeler, […]

This is the traditional time of year for us ‘experts’ to look ahead and make predictions, as well as look back on whether last year’s predictions were on track or not. I’m new to this habit, so I can’t report on whether my crystal ball has been working or not….but no time to start like […]

Hybrid SharePoint is on the rise. Combining SharePoint Online (in Office 365) with SharePoint Server (on premises, in Azure, or in a hosted offering) is an important strategy for organizations seeking to move to the cloud and/or leverage the latest Microsoft offerings. For some workloads, such as portals and search, Hybrid SharePoint is the new […]

So, you’ve been using Office 365 and finding some level of success and now you’re thinking about how your users can get search across both environments. First off if you haven’t already started doing things like Dirsync for your users, you’re in for a treat.
