IBM WebSphere portal has been seen as the realm of the back-end developer with specialized Java skills. This has been a barrier to entry to the IBM Domino community. IBM has transformed the product to the IBM Digital Experience platform – and it’s not just a name change! With the inclusion of the Script Portlet and IBM Portal on Cloud option, it’s time to look again. This session explains how to integrate your XPages applications, IBM Bluemix and even Microsoft SharePoint. It also demonstrates content re-purpose without migration. If you are looking for a single point of integration for all your applications, this session is for you!

SharePoint Outlook from the Analysts
Microsoft SharePoint is in a time of transition. IT leaders responsible for SharePoint initiatives must evaluate
the specific functional needs they have, as well as their level of risk avoidance.
Impacts
Microsoft's strategic commitment to the cloud with SharePoint Online has created the imperative for IT leaders
to re-evaluate SharePoint's role in their workplace technology road map.
Microsoft's new app model has limited the ability to customize SharePoint Online compared to SharePoint
deployed on-premises, so IT leaders must reconsider how to use SharePoint.
Microsoft's focus on SharePoint Online means IT leaders have to factor in risk tolerance, organizational culture
and migration complexity when assessing its suitability.

SharePoint Outlook from the Analysts (cont.)
Recommendations
IT leaders:
Examine your SharePoint use cases to determine suitable options. SharePoint Online is suitable for a
range of use cases, from basic tasks such as file sharing through to highly collaborative, content-centric
processes such as RFP development.
Explicitly revise governance plans and communicate guidance on what SharePoint Online should and
should not be used for.
Involve your legal, risk and compliance teams to determine whether the risks of SharePoint Online are
acceptable to your organization.
If SharePoint Online falls short of these measures, consider whether it would make more sense to
continue using SharePoint on-premises, choose an alternative vendor/platform or adopt a hybrid
approach (on-premises for existing custom workloads, Online for new, more generic work).
