Are you looking to learn the steps to a successful SharePoint 2013 migration? Ready to join the SharePoint 2013 revolution but not sure how to prepare and plan for it?  Or, in the middle of a migration that is falling behind schedule? With the arrival of SharePoint 2013, many organizations are preparing to make the […]

I recently posted a script to export term sets in SharePoint (vetted in both 2010 & 2013).  I was prompted to write that script, because the client I was working on had a very particular (and large!) managed navigation structure that I wanted to replicate across all environments to make testing code much simpler. This […]

I don’t know about you, but I really wish there was a way to export managed metadata in SharePoint, especially since SharePoint teases you with the ‘Import Term Set’ option. To get around this I’ve written a little script to export all of the term sets in a term store (easily customizable to just export […]

We recently hosted a webinar on SharePoint’s social business capabilities and Microsoft’s social roadmap, SharePoint as a Social Business Platform. Guest speaker Rob Koplowitz from Forrester, and Perficient’s own SharePoint Practice Director, Rich Wood, dug into SharePoint from a social perspective, and shared their thoughts on where Microsoft is headed in terms of social business.

I recently purchased the book Microsoft SharePoint 2013 App Development to try to get more familiar with the changes coming about in SharePoint 2013 apps.  The link points to the O’Reilly site, but you can also get it from Amazon too.  (As a side note, I find it very hard to read a printed book […]

Microsoft’s direction for enterprise social is a little more clear this morning.  And I’ll be honest, the roadmap for organizations willing to move this workload to the cloud—in whole or in part—is pretty exciting.  Questions still remain around just how well this approach covers on-premise deployments, however, and I’d like to spend a little time […]

A while back, I blogged about both the driving factors and a recommended process for automated installation of SharePoint 2010 (see Automating Sharepoint 2010 Installs). As more and more of our clients are deploying SharePoint 2013, I’ve had a chance to revisit and revise the process for SharePoint 2013. The good news for those of […]

So I was getting some unexpected behavior (as in just not working!) when I tried to apply sorting to people search from the peopleresults.aspx page through the query builder. I hadn’t had any issues sorting on my other result sources but people results were proving to be stubborn. To reproduce, try going to your People […]

Want to see just how beautiful a SharePoint 2013 website can look? Want to see such a beautiful website that’s functional too? If you’re like me, your answers are “yes” and “yes”, so I’d strongly suggest you surf on over to http://www.marshfieldclinic.org on your PC, Mac, phone or tablet.  For a real kick, try it […]

I have always felt that SharePoint is loaded with numerous hidden gems, features or functions available out-of-the-box but simply waiting for the right use case to unlock their value.  This is one of the real value adds that working with knowledgeable consultants can bring—the good ones know those hidden gems, match them to a business […]
