Web Seminar Recap: SharePoint and Yammer: What the Microsoft Acquisition Means for Your Organization

Thursday, August 30th, 2012

On Wednesday, August 29, 2012 Joe Shepley presented the web seminar “SharePoint and Yammer: What the Microsoft Acquisition Means for Your Organization.” In this one-hour web seminar, Joe discussed the Yammer acquisition and the risks and opportunities it presents to organizations.

SharePoint has been a major player in the enterprise collaboration market over the last six years. From team sites to manage project documents, to intranets, portals, wikis, and blogs, there’s hardly an organization out there that isn’t using SharePoint in some capacity to enable collaboration between employees. Microsoft’s recent acquisition of Yammer, a cloud-based social collaboration tool, introduces both great opportunity and great risk into the SharePoint equation, and organizations across all industries are wondering what their next move should be.

By the end of this seminar you will have a clear understanding of the relationship between the enterprise collaboration and social media domains, the evolving coexistence between SharePoint (MOSS, 2010, SharePoint 15) and other enterprise software platforms, and the best way to determine what enterprise collaboration functionality your organization really needs.

SharePoint and Yammer: It’s Not That Simple – Part 6

Wednesday, August 29th, 2012

Right now, I’m in the middle of a series of posts that explores the Yammer acquisition and what it means for organizations from a number of angles:

  • SharePoint’s product development trajectory
  • The larger context of enterprise collaboration software
  • The existing SharePoint partner ecosystem

Over the last few posts, I’ve been drilling into the four quadrants of enterprise collaboration to talk about some of the leading vendors/products that play not only in each of these quadrants but also that span quadrants (and make it difficult to maintain a streamlined and sustainable enterprise collaboration technology portfolio). Last post we looked at the way Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007 was the first to try to bridge two quadrants. Now let’s turn to another significant quadrant-spanning category: social business software (SBS). Click to continue »

Last post, drilling into the four quadrants of enterprise collaboration, I started to talk about some of the leading vendors/products that play in each of these quadrants. With that done, I want to turn to some of the leading vendors/products that span quadrants (and make it difficult to maintain a streamlined and sustainable enterprise collaboration technology portfolio).

Now, I want to turn in the next few posts to analyze the enterprise collaboration domain in detail and the vendors that play in the space. Click to continue »

  • SharePoint’s product development trajectory

Disruptive Innovation

I’ve written elsewhere at length about how Microsoft’s  release of MOSS 2007 was a classic example of disruptive innovation (whether intentionally or not). So here, I’ll leave aside a detailed consideration of how SharePoint entered and disrupted the enterprise content management (ECM) market and instead give a high level overview, aka, a brief history of SharePoint’s coexistence with enterprise software.

Web Seminar Recap: SharePoint is Shelf Ware without User Training

Monday, August 13th, 2012

On Wednesday, August 8, 2012 Mark Weinstein presented the web seminar “SharePoint is Shelf Ware without User Training.” In this one-hour web seminar, Mark discussed the importance of having your employees properly trained on SharePoint.

SharePoint is a widely used product within many organizations. The biggest hurdle companies face is the many different experience and knowledge levels employees have in using SharePoint. That’s why it is important to not only train the power users in your organization, but the end users as well. Adoption is less likely to occur if your employees don’t know how to use the product.

By the end of this seminar you will have a clear understanding how to delegate SharePoint responsibility so your company can work better, faster and smarter. Listen to a recording of this web seminar in its entirety by clicking View Event Recordings (at the top right).
