In my latest post over at CMSWire, I’ve outlined a (very plausible) scenario whereby the groundswell of user preference for mobile form factors could– and perhaps, should– spell doom for the concept of the enterprise intranet. This is “digital transformation” writ large for employee productivity.
Sound a bit loony, coming from someone who loves to envision, plan and build SharePoint intranets? Possibly. But in the scenario I’m discussing, SharePoint hardly goes away. In fact, it serves as a back-end for many of the services users will be accessing via mobile apps on their iOS and Android– and yes, even Windows– tablets and phones.
It’s a heady mix of mobile’s engaging (even addictive) UX, service-oriented architecture, software as a service (cloud/SaaS), and forward-thinking embrace of technology and consumer trends. And you can just about pull it off with today’s technology.
Curious? Go check it out.
