As is proven time and time again, implementing the best technology doesn't necessarily mean your project will be successful. New technology means organizational change – which means to be successful, the people in the organization need to adopt the new solution you are providing.  This session is intended for organizations that are struggling with Office 365 and SharePoint adoption. It will examine the implementation of SharePoint in the cloud and on premises from the perspective of the following topics:  -The importance of adoption to the success of technology projects  -Understanding the organizational barriers that prevent the adoption of new technologies, and how to evaluate the readiness of your organization to adopt cloud-based SharePoint  -The key components of an adoption program -A SharePoint adoption case study -Guidance and best practices to help drive the adoption of cloud-based SharePoint in your organization
