Editor's Notes
- SORCE has been delivering intranets for the best part of 20 years. All that time we have been delivering a product that is not based on SharePoint, but this year we decided to start offering a second product which is SharePoint based. Why did we do this and what have we learnt?
- We have always had lots of people ask us if we could deliver something SharePoint, but we have always said no.
- This could be seen as a bit of an uphill struggle however, as so many people out there clearly are choosing SharePoint for their intranet technology.
- But intranet users don’t care what technology it is built on. Just like website users don’t care what technology that is built on.
- We’ve learnt what you get out of the box from SharePoint.
- We’ve also seen the power of SharePoint and how it is possible to create something that users will engage with.
- We’ve seen lots of this…
- ***A hilarious anecdote about adding content to Office 365*** You had to be there….
- The questions that we now get asked are different but equally challenging.
- I think the trouble is that people get far too bogged down by features when buying intranets.
- Instead they should be focusing on their business and its specific needs.
- We now understand that technology is just an enabler and would urge you to focus on your user’s needs, not the technology or its features.
