Category: Content Management

Content management (CM) is a set of processes and technologies that supports the collection, managing, and publishing of information in any form or medium. When stored and accessed via computers, this information may be more specifically referred to as digital content, or simply as content.
Content management can also be described as the process for collection, delivery, retrieval, governance and overall management of information in any format.

The content involved may be images, video, audio and multimedia as well as text.

As it happens with Microsoft products, there are two competing versions of the same thing and eventually one gets phased out. Now it’s Power BI for Office 365’s turn. It had a good run, but Microsoft is finally killing off the initial iteration of Power BI to let its new service move in and run the show. I’ve been wondering when this would happen for quite a while now, and its finally happened. Honestly I believe it’s for the better, but there are a few things that still haven’t come to fruition. In your Office 365 Message Center, you might have seen this message on the right.

At the end of the day there was a hackathon organized by Jeremy Thake from the Office team at Microsoft. We were able to create an Office Add-In from scratch with some help from guys from the product team in Redmond. This was a cool experience and I had to chance to meet some interesting guys. I teamed up with Nick Harvey from London, UK and created an add-in for outlook.

Back in the early 2000’s, I was hired as a product manager for a well-funded startup to help design and build a hosted collaboration platform (sound familiar?) that was to be integrated into our larger supply chain automation solution. Without getting into all of the details of our new product introduction (NPI) strategy, there were two foundational aspects of our plans: first, to identify and deploy a handful of “beach head” customers, and second, to roll what we learned from those early customers into repeatable processes and best practices, or, as we often referred to it, to “productize” our services. A key measurement of the success of this program, and a KPI that we often discussed, was the level of adoption around our services. Were people actually using what we were building? If not, we wanted to understand why not. If they were using it, what did they like? It was never enough to build something, throw it over the wall, and walk away. We strove for customer success, and measurable ROI.

This article describes a technique using Azure Logic Apps to get the mentions on your blog posts into an Azure database.

I don’t think anyone will deny that the last year has been an interesting one for those of us working in the SharePoint space. Personally, I felt like we had to look at new things in Office 365, and try to figure out how we could replace some of our previous workloads in SharePoint.

The impression was that no new improvements were being made in SharePoint, while new portals and “experiences” were being built, leveraging some of the existing technology. Perhaps what we were missing was someone guiding us, and the product, in a common direction.

After a week at the MVP Summit with the Microsoft Product Team, that works on SharePoint and OneDrive for Business, as well as the ESPC 2015 keynote presentation to the world, I can tell you SharePoint is back! And I’m very excited!

Digital Signatures for SharePoint Data

By Larry Kluger, Marketing Manager Connectors & Developers, DocuSign, Inc.

Much of the time, “electronic signature” and “digital signature” refer to signing a document by using the computer instead of a pen. But digital signatures can also be used to sign data.
