Happy 2013! With SharePoint 2013 about to go into wide release, I thought it was a good time to share some of my thoughts and predictions for the coming year:
I have seen the future and it’s SharePoint Online 2013. I am not totally biased because I love Office 365. A lot has changed since the BPOS days. SharePoint Online 2007 was a start for Microsoft in the Enterprise Cloud business. The platform was descent and many customers were able to create Intranet portals. There were some issue such as no search over multiple site collections and no My Sites. The next step was Office 365 and SharePoint Online 2010. The gap with the big on premise brother became even smaller. A couple years later we get another update: SharePoint Online 2013 and the gap is almost gone. The new online version comes with a set of features that enables external collaboration with customers or partners.
Both routine and unpredictable engagement with customers is an essential part of many critical business processes including customer start-up, account maintenance, transaction management, service fulfilment, incident management, etc. Yet mobile, cloud and social technologies are increasing the power of customers and transforming how they participate with organizations. This chapter discusses the necessary role of adaptive case management in enabling more responsive, flexible and effective customer engagement in an era when the rising power of the individual demands a new architecture of engagement for customers and employees alike.
I’ve had many people ask me about how Microsoft SharePoint 2013 Shredded Storage and Remote BLOB Storage work together, and how AvePoint supports this from a storage optimization perspective. Bill Baer, Senior Product Marketing Manager and Microsoft Certified Master for SharePoint, posted about this topic during SharePoint Conference 2012 and hopefully clarified a lot of the confusion around Shredded Storage. SharePoint MVP Dan Holme, AvePoint Enterprise Trainer & Evangelist Randy Williams, and I put together an article for Dan’s weekly column on Shredded Storage a few weeks ago which is also worth a read.
Eighty percent of Fortune 500 companies rely on SharePoint for internal collaboration. But what started as a way to manage content and communication across organizations has evolved with the emergence of the social enterprise. Yesterday’s intranet has transformed into a more dynamic, user-friendly environment for interacting with information and people.
SharePoint managers are under more pressure than ever before to deliver on the promise of dynamic video collaboration. Learn how to deliver live video streaming, embed video excerpts on any page, link videos to other relevant content and add video to employee social communications – all within SharePoint.
Design Package is the lightweight option to create a branding solution (a .wsp file) that can be imported to any Site Collection via the Design Manager. No centralized farm deploy is needed (nor possible, though), which makes it THE way to brand SharePoint Online sites and possibly other hosted or singled out different-than-the-rest-of-them Site Collections (used e.g. for marketing campaigns or such), especially since sandboxed solutions are not the way to go anymore.
