Earlier this year, Microsoft finally gave us the Office 365 Roadmap where we can now […]

In another 12 hours or so, those of us on the east coast will be watching the ball drop (mainly on television, but perhaps a few of the Perficient folks local to NYC are planning to brave the cold and crowds). Either way, we’ll be celebrating with family and friends as we ring in the […]

Another new feature of the Office portfolio you probably haven’t heard about is Office Sway. When your ideas are born, you want to explore, visualize and share them—quickly and easily, wherever you happen […]

As we get through the holiday season and reflect back on this past year, I want to blog about something you probably haven’t heard about yet – Office Mix. Have you ever wanted to create an online lesson or presentation? Are you a teacher who wants to use technology to reach your students in a […]

Yesterday, we shared the top five SharePoint related blog posts of 2014. As several of those SharePoint posts alluded to, when it comes to the cloud, 2014 could be called the year Microsoft went “all in” and truly made cloud king.
