A lot of what we talk about here on the Perficient Microsoft blog focuses on the cloud, and that reflects market trends, and what we are seeing with our customers. As Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella wrote earlier this month in his email to employees, and so many at Microsoft have said since, we now live in a cloud-first, mobile-first world.
And there is no doubt, hosted SharePoint is a great option for many organizations (in fact, you can tune in to an on-demand webinar we had recently where one customer describes the reasons they chose SharePoint Online). So while Office 365 is an ideal fit for some, for other customers, on-premises deployments are still the way to go. There are a number of industries that mandate certain data types are kept on-premises. Or maybe you have a ton of custom applications that would need to be reworked should you move to the cloud.
Bottom line, each and every SharePoint ecosystem is different, and if you are on a previous version of SharePoint, you are probably taking a hard look at whether or not to migrate to SharePoint 2013.
If you’d like to learn more about your on-premises upgrade options, take a look at our new white paper, A Guide to On-Premises SharePoint 2013 Upgrades. Perficient’s Adetayo Adegoke and Suzanne George shared their knowledge and expertise from many, many SharePoint migrations to create this comprehensive guide describing the new features, capabilities, and your options.
