At the Microsoft Worldwide
Partner Conference (WPC) in
Toronto in July 2012, Kurt DelBene,
President of the Microsoft Office
Division announced that Office
365, including SharePoint Online,
is growing at over 8x their
predictions, and is likely to eclipse
SharePoint as the fastest growing
Microsoft offer ever.
n the cloud
During his keynote presentation
at SPTechCon in February 2012,
Jared Spataro, Director of
SharePoint at Microsoft,
announced that SharePoint 2013
was being developed using a
“Cloud First” strategy, and that
Office 365 customers could expect
to have access to the benefits of
the new release sooner than onpremises deployments.

Question
Why companies will move
to SharePoint 2013
When more people participate
•
•
•
•
•
Improves collaboration
Improves individual motivation
Speeds up learning process
Improves system/content analytics
Drives brand awareness
This shows that successful platforms need to drive that
first round of comments – engage the most passionate
people out there.
The value of social is its ability
to reach business goals by
• driving engagement
• improving collaboration
• instilling a sense
of community
AOL took a conjoint approach to understand the DNA of comments
within their sites. They looked at:
• fact based comments
• clarity of thought
• original article criticism
• name (full name, nicknames, anonymous)
• icon (author picture, avatar)
• adherence to party lines
• grammar
AOL’s analysis showed what people cared about:
• style -- 7% (not very important)
• individual substance - 14% mildly important
• community involvement -- 19% somewhat important
• personal identity --- 19% somewhat important
• relationship to content - 42% very important
How you move
forward with social
depends on what
you are trying to
achieve
•
Social has become a company strategy
•
Publishing to multiple formats (intranet, extranet,
internet, mobile, tablet) because of an increasingly
mobile workforce, geographically dispersed
•
End user adoption (tighter integration with Office)
and usability improvements
•
Improved search and business intelligence,
whether data is on prem or in the cloud
How to move forward:
•
Understand your organization’s
cultural capacity for social
•
Experiment with the technology,
monitor and measure the results,
focusing on end user adoption
and engagement
•
Closely align your SharePoint
activities with your business objectives
•
Extend features as the business
is ready for them
The future of SharePoint + Social
