**WEBINAR - to see a recording of this presentation given on 10th December 2014 - http://www.clearbox.co.uk/the-future-of-sharepoint-webinar-video/
SharePoint dominates as an intranet and collaboration platform, but it seems increasingly challenged by more nimble, consumer-driven technologies. Microsoft too, seems to be putting the emphasis on Office 365. How should SharePoint evolve? How much should we be driven by employee expectations? And what should SharePoint teams be planning in response? In this keynote, Sam will consider:
• What are the trends in how people work and what they expect from their workplace tools?
• How useful is SharePoint as the basis for a digital workplace?
• How strong is the case for moving to Office 365?
• Is Microsoft’s roadmap enough to keep them in the lead?
• What are rival platforms doing that SharePoint misses?
7. We will worry about
— SharePoint adoption levels
— Changing work expections
— The evolution of the digital workplace
8. 62% of organisations disillusioned with ROI from
their SharePoint intranets
-- Mando Group survey 2014
Only a fraction of SharePoint gets used
9. “Whenever somebody tells me that the answer is on
SharePoint my heart sinks. I know I’ll never find it”
-- Employee survey response [Anon]
In some companies, SharePoint is seen as the last resort

19. Are we with Microsoft?
If SP2013 was the last on-premises
version would you:
a) Move to Office 365/already there
b) Stay on your current version as
long as you could
c) Look for an alternative to
SharePoint?

— Yammer has a bright future
— Cloud can be an issue
— Look at Beezy, Sitrion and Jive

— Integration with on-prem may never be
fixed
63. Don’t feel obliged to upgrade
— If your needs are around documents, even 2010
may be fine
— Expand social and mobile capability outside
SharePoint
— Use search to span technology islands

72. Don’t think of ‘SharePoint’ in the middle of
your Digital Workplace….
73. …think of how it enables the flow between
people and content
@
74. TL;DR
1. SharePoint will never be a
complete digital workplace
2. Microsoft understands this and
their answer is Office 365
3. You don’t have to go to Office
365…
4. …but it will be hard to stay on
SharePoint alone
