I was a little disappointed with some aspects of how FAST was bolted on to SharePoint 2010. We had a fantastic new search engine but its capabilities were throttled by the depth of integration with SharePoint. One aspect of this was access to the power of the FAST Query Language (FQL). FQL is a rich […]

We have now had a few months to try out SharePoint 2013 Preview and things are looking really exciting for Search. In this 5-part series of blog posts I will review the upgrade in technology, highlight some new features which I think are important and show how they relate to real-world scenarios. In SharePoint 2010 […]

Hot off the presses from Mary Jo Foley over at ZDNet: TechNet and MSDN subscribers can officially download SharePoint 2013 (and other Office family goodness) as of right now. Yes, right now. As in, “this minute”. That’s right. It’s not even mid-November yet, and they’re already here. Talk about overdelivering. As you read this, someone […]

On Wednesday, we brought our Microsoft practice and our XD team together for a webinar, “Create Great Search Experiences with SharePoint 2013.” Brian Flanagan, Director of Experience Design at Perficient, quickly dove into the user experience of search, and why it’s imperative to have a good search experience, both on your organization’s intranet and on your […]

Yep, you read that right.  Development on SharePoint 2013 (as part of the larger Office 2013 family of products) is DONE and it’s being released to the market very, very soon.

One of the sessions, “Mobility: Development Strategies in SharePoint 2013,” was presented by my colleague, Amol Ajgaonkar. Amol is a Senior Technical Architect at Perficient. He’s worked with SharePoint for nearly a decade, and […]

Author: Amy Smith, Senior Project Manager, Perficient Dynamic!  That is how I would describe Dan Holme, MVP.  Dan’s presentation at SharePoint Fest Chicago 2012 was, “Preparing for SharePoint 2013”.  Dan travels the world doing SharePoint projects, and his most recent was the Summer Olympics in London.  During his presentation, Dan went through all of the changes […]

In the first post of this three part series, I shared my colleague Matt Morse’s recent presentation on SharePoint 2013 and discussed Microsoft’s investment in the new release. Following this, my second post summarized Perficient’s experience with SharePoint 2013. In this post, I’ll recap Matt’s third and final question, “What’s new in SharePoint 2013?” Many who are […]

Since Apps are the “next big thing” for SharePoint, from an opportunity perspective, expect to see a lot of hullaballoo about how you should create apps because they’re going to be the greatest thing to happen to SharePoint since Shared Service Applications replaced the Shared Services Provider.  However, not all apps are created equal, and […]

Until recently, I was blissfully unaware of an issue that exists when deploying SharePoint 2013 apps in a likely production environment.  That issue is the use of host headers while serving a SharePoint app.  Since I don’t know of any production environment that doesn’t use a host header, this could be quite the issue and […]

Let’s get back to my colleague, Matt Morse, and his recent presentation on SharePoint 2013. In my previous post, I summarized Matt’s answer to the first question he’s often asked, and discussed Microsoft’s investment areas in the new release – and the reasoning behind those investments. You probably recall that the public preview of the […]

During a recent presentation, my colleague Matt Morse shared his thoughts around SharePoint 2013.

What do we know about SharePoint 2013? What’s new in SharePoint 2013? In this post, I’ll cover the first […]
