The new SharePoint home page in Office
365, rolling out this month (May, 2016),

Sites — online and on-premises — and
lets you navigate seamlessly through
your intranet, as well as catch up with
activity across your sites with just a

your team and the organization.

You can create a team site from the SharePoint
home and provision a corresponding Office 365
Group in just seconds, with integrated information
classification and compliance.

5. THE MOBILE AND INTELLIGENT INTRANET

and Android, to put your intranet in your pocket,
with full-fidelity access to company news and
announcements, people, sites, content and apps —

The app will incorporate your on-premises
SharePoint sites, as well.

Currently and this quarter:

network location.

tenant and into your on-premises farms. Classify
a site so that policies are scoped to all content in
a site.

POWERAPPS INTEGRATION
In May, 2016, Microsoft Flow was announced as
a new service for automating workflow across
the growing number of apps and SaaS services.
Microsoft Flow includes connectors that enable
you to exchange data between SharePoint and a
variety of Microsoft and third-party services,
and store and modify that data within
SharePoint.
PowerApps is also being integrated directly into
the modern team site, so you can create cross-
platform PowerApps that utilize SharePoint lists
and libraries as a data source.

10. THE MOBILE AND INTELLIGENT INTRANET
Later this year:
o Microsoft will release SharePoint Insights, a
service which aggregates usage and compliance
data from on-premises and cloud into the Office
365 Reporting Centre, so you can get a unified
