The roles of CMOs and CIOs are changing. What was once easy to define – CMOs focused on the brand and sales, CIOs on IT – the line between the two has become increasingly blurred. Why? Well, for starters, a CMO’s role now encompasses social media and digital marketing channels. This includes enabling collaboration and communication […]

Long before Microsoft acquired Yammer, I was impressed with the usability of the latter enterprise social tool.  Granted, they looked (and still look) more or less like Facebook, but that sort of stealing is brilliant stealing.  After all, these days pretty much everyone uses Facebook, so when new users log into Yammer for the first time, […]

On September 12, 2013 Gartner released their latest Magic Quadrant report for horizontal portals.  Overall, the Magic Quadrant hasn’t changed much from last year with the vendors staying in the same quadrant as they were in 2012 (yawn…).  You can see my blog post from 2012: Gartner Magic Quadrant: Horizontal Portals 2012. In the leader quadrant, […]

Well guess what I think is the best alternative, are you ready? It is Office Web Apps!  Office Web Apps are free versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote. If you’re like me, I like to use application that have the same look and feel as the applications I’m used to, in this case it […]

Thanks to @lizasisler for pointing me to this. ZDNet has an article about Microsoft’s recent announcement raising the upper limit on file size from 250 MB to 2 Gig.  They now also allow you to upload .exe files.  At it’s face, that’s a pretty easy thing to report but I think that raising the limit […]

In my most recent article at CMSWire, I had the opportunity to make some wild and crazy predictions for the future of Microsoft’s SharePoint platform.  While not claiming access to any crystal ball or inside information, I did make every attempt to ground my possibilities in the realm of actual, factual reality.  One of those predictions […]

On Wednesday we hosted a webinar that highlighted how you can use responsive design to better engage your mobile audience. Rich Wood, Director of Perficient’s Microsoft web and social collaboration practice shared why using responsive design is an excellent solution to address the explosion of  mobile devices that differ tremendously, from screen size to functionality […]

I read an article by Chris Clark on CMSWire last week covering SharePoint, Yammer, and the way UI (User Interface) impacts use and adoption.  The article itself was enjoyable and informative, and I found myself agreeing with Mr. Clark’s central argument– Yammer’s superior UI helps it win adoption where SharePoint’s more complex UI can sometimes […]

In recent weeks, I’ve been seeing an uptick in aggression from SharePoint’s would-be competitors, and I suppose that makes sense.  Microsoft’s do-it all platform for collaboration, social business, intranets and extranets, content management, enterprise search, business intelligence and whiskey distillation—okay, maybe not the whiskey, but everything else and then some—is pretty much ubiquitous in large […]
