I’ll be speaking at SHARE Conference in Atlanta this week and I have to say, I’m pretty fired up for it.  SHARE bills itself as “the conference for business users” and lo and behold, they’re not kidding– there’s no tech track.  It’s a national conference that is sponsored by Microsoft and boasts real involvement from […]

We recently hosted a webinar on SharePoint’s social business capabilities and Microsoft’s social roadmap, SharePoint as a Social Business Platform.

I’m pretty fired up for my webinar tomorrow on Microsoft’s direction for enterprise social technology.  It’s always fun to talk about a company I love, a set of products that I’ve built my career on, and the pace of change in this exciting arena. We’ll talk Microsoft, SharePoint, Yammer, history, strategy, roadmaps, and maybe even […]

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 […]

Finally, a little clarity.  Yesterday’s roadmap post by Jared Spataro on the official SharePoint blog shed some much-sought-after public light on the question of how Microsoft intends to rationalize the Yammer and SharePoint 2013 newsfeeds. “Which newsfeed do we use for enterprise social?  The native SharePoint 2013 feed, or Yammer?”  It’s a question Microsoft customers […]

This just in– Perficient was named NewsGator’s Partner of the Year for 2012.  If that sounds familiar, I suppose it should, because we actually won the same award in its inaugural year of 2011! Beyond that, this honor for our team is more than just an award, it’s a statement… for a number of reasons. […]
