Office 365 has officially launched.  Make no mistake, this is a big deal for enterprise social.  Later this month, I’ll be doing a webinar around Microsoft’s direction in that space with Rob Koplowitz of Forrester Research (you can sign up here).  The latest reports published by Mr. Koplowitz and his team have taken a hard […]

The SharePoint 2013 Social Newsfeed is now available in Apple’s App Store. That’s right– you can access the social side of your SharePoint intranet on an iPad in a slick, easy-to-use way.  (Please excuse my low-resolution screen shots– there’s much better examples on the official iTunes page.) From a UI perspective, there is a lot […]

This is a quickie, but can be useful for those accessing SharePoint Managed Metadata from the Client Side.

Last week, we hosted a webinar on SharePoint 2013’s web content management capabilities, “Manage Your Web Content with SharePoint 2013 Mobility and Search.” Speaker Travis Nielsen divided the presentation into three topics: Design, Publish, and Engage. He quickly dove into designer and developer enablement in SharePoint 2013, followed by a demonstration. From there, Travis gave […]

In part 1 and part 2 of this series, I introduced many of the technologies used to build a social intranet.  In part 3, I talked about three scenarios and list some of the technology that would be involved in each social intranet.  For this last part of the series, I want to talk about what some of […]

We interrupt our regularly scheduled series on SharePoint Careers to direct you to a series my colleague, Mark Polly, is writing on Social Intranets.  It’s definitely worth checking out, and a higher-level take on a subject we’ve explored in this space many times over– a good companion piece to everything we’ve published (and will continue […]

For the past decade, it seems as if technology advances each and every day. Today, technology makes it possible to communicate with businesses and individuals around the globe from almost anywhere. What once required a hard-wired Internet connection and a bulky computer can now be achieved with a portable mobile device. Of course, coping with […]
