Panelists covered the same ground that our feature writers did this week and weeks previous, touching on questions of governance, adoption challenges and breakfast meats.
We also had reports from the conference field, with updates streaming in from DrupalCon Munich, the Business Marketing Association's Denver conference and Altamont Group's Social Media Intelligence in San Francisco.
Read on for details.
It's SharePoint's World, We're Just Living in It
Is SharePoint in the Cloud For You?
Rob Koplowitz (@rkoplowitz): The days of Microsoft SharePoint being only a locally installed software product are over.
Microsoft's commitment to SharePoint in the cloud is evident in its massive data-center investments, its costly retrofitting of the code base to support multitenancy and access via subscription and its emphasis on "cloud" in sales and marketing efforts. But the reality is Office 365/SharePoint Online are still only release two and Microsoft usually needs three releases to get a product right.
SharePoint 2013: Improved Social Networking and Workflows
Laura Rogers (@wonderlaura): It's been a lot of fun trying out the new version of SharePoint so far. Microsoft has done a great job this time, putting out a ton of documentation, training and videos as soon as this preview version became available. There's a lot to read, but it has also been great trying everything out and digging in a bit to see the new functionalities in action.
SharePoint Business Governance Strategy: Managing Governance Documents
Frederik Leksell (@letstalkgov): Continuing my high level SharePoint business governance strategy series, today we are looking at methods of managing governance documents to ensure that information is easily accessible to all, aiding in communication of and adherence to governance rules.
SharePoint 2013 Needs Less Features, Not More
Chris Wright (@scribbleagency): There are certain specialties that appear to be so simple from a laymen’s point of view that one can’t help but wonder the harm in doing the job themselves. But the idiom “a little knowledge is a dangerous thing” originated for a reason. Unfortunately, it is all too often capably illustrated in organizational risk management practices.
The Path From Fileshare to SharePoint
Christian Buckley (@buckleyplanet): One of the major complaints about SharePoint is that, while it contains the potential for expanded business productivity and automation, within many organizations it has become yet another file share.
While that may be true, the primary difference is that, unlike those old file shares, SharePoint has the potential to be expanded upon. It is the sleeping giant in the organization. And funny enough, one of the major trends these days is movement of old network file shares and their vast volumes of unstructured data into SharePoint.
35,000 Foot View of SharePoint 2013 for Developers
Brian Alderman (@brianalderman): Are you ready for SharePoint 2013?
In this third installation of my four part series giving a 35,000-foot overview of some of the major changes expected in SharePoint 2013, we will be looking at some of the new features that will specifically affect SharePoint designers.
SharePoint Projects: Ant Clay on the Importance of Vision
Siobhan Fagan (@smg_Siobhan): Everyone wants to believe that there is a single bullet solution to solve all SharePoint problems. While the answers are never that simple, the starting point is: asking the question "why?"
Ant Clay, Founder and CEO of Soulsailor Consulting Ltd, is one of a new breed of SharePoint business technology consultants. Known to ask clients repeatedly “Why?” until they breakdown and admit “they just don’t know,” we thought we'd turn the tables on him to ask a few questions about SharePoint, governance and the upcoming release of SharePoint 2013.
Field Notes
News From the Front: Simpler, Mobile Drupal 8 Previewed #Drupalcon
Ben Finklea (@benfinklea): For those in the Drupal community, DrupalCon is simply DrupalCon. For the rest of you: DrupalCon is a bi-annual Drupal conference put on by the Drupal Association. It’s a world-class tech conference, it is THE place for Drupal news and it’s happening this week in Munich, Germany.
Marketing vs IT: Who Drives the Customer Experience? #BMAthriving
Carla Johnson (@carlajohnson): For many organizations, their definition of customer experience falls into a customer support department heavily staffed to keep wait times for call centers low. But that’s missing the mark.
A Little Bit of Knowledge Does Not Good Risk Management Make
Peter Spier (@peter_spier): There are certain specialties that appear to be so simple from a laymen’s point of view that one can’t help but wonder the harm in doing the job themselves. But the idiom “a little knowledge is a dangerous thing” originated for a reason. Unfortunately, it is all too often capably illustrated in organizational risk management practices.
