Microsoft believe in sharing and collaboration on the intranet. Users are encouraged to broadcast messages and drive communications or share resources and news with teams.
Users can build sites and portals that engage people, connecting them to expertise, content, actionable insights and collective knowledge.
Intranets drive organisational efficiency by sharing applications that streamline processes. Build communities of interest or practice with SharePoint sites and Yammer.
In this category we cover subjects related to all things Intranet – articles range from The 5 pillars of Enterprise Intranets to The changing shape of modern intranets.
Therefore, the Intranet category is full of handy tips, tricks and advise. Check out some of the Step by Step blogs or learn with our eBooks, How To videos and Webinars.
One of the most difficult areas of delivering a SharePoint solution is identifying not just who should be targetted for User Adoption, but, going forward, how to sustain that User Adoption through communication. Reasons include rapid changes in the business culture, direction, and changes in technology concerning the methods used to communicate (e.g. business process changes from manual to email notification to automation, etc.).
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.
As businesses look to improve efficiencies across their organization, many are turning to SharePoint to save money while empowering and connecting their employees and customers. SharePoint has solutions for every aspect of your business – intranet, collaboration, public communities and internet sites.

Have you heard the news? Microsoft to Aquire Yammer – How could Steve Ballmer, CEO, Microsoft say: “Yammer adds a best-in-class enterprise social networking service to Microsoft’s growing portfolio of complementary cloud services.”
When Yammer was announced as a possible acquisition for Microsoft, I smiled and giggled inside. I’ve known for over a year that Yammer was more than a few SharePoint web parts, it has real enterprise momentum and a social community that reminds me of what happened with SharePoint Team Services in the first version.
SQL 2012 RTMed last month (March 2012) with much fanfare. For us SharePoint types, SQL is a big deal, as SQL is the backbone of SharePoint. SQL 2012 has a few new or updated features that are of interest to SharePoint aficionados, but this blog post is specifically about SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). SSRS got a major overhaul in SQL 2012. It is finally a SharePoint service application. Anyone that has installed SSRS previous to SQL 2012 can appreciate how big of a deal that is. SSRS 2012 is better than SSRS 2008 R2 in a whole lot more ways, but as an IT Pro, the installation and management improvements take the cake.
It’s amazing to me how much better multi lingual support has gotten in 2010, and I think many don’t even realize just how easy it is to setup to support. When language packs first came out, we worried we’d need to have support people for each language pack we rolled out. This is NOT the case today. With the ability to have users simply pick their preferred display language someone supporting someone’s site could simply change the language display to their own preference. A site simply displays by default in its language and supports alternates with a simple click of a checkbox after the language packs have been installed. I was amazed how easy it was to setup
