I began working with SharePoint with the release of Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, lovingly (or not so lovingly) referred to as MOSS ’07, then came SharePoint Server 2010, and 2013, and now we’re at SharePoint 2016 and all feeling a little […]

What we do know is that based on our experience, most modern intranet solutions contain up to 80% common functionality, despite varying needs and requirements.

I was recently tasked with changing the template of some items in one of our client’s Sitecore instances.
