Are you ready for SharePoint 2016? Are you sure? Have you built your business case? In this session we dig into the new features with a focus on building the real reason to upgrade...
SharePoint 2016 has a lot of new features that we inherit from the cloud, as well as a lot of new hybrid features and additional UI investments that have already proven popular in Office 365 SharePoint online. With the IT Preview it seems Microsoft is only talking to the IT and Devs.
In this session we’ll approach the features from a user perspective and help you to:
Get a first look at SharePoint 2016 for the business whether you are already planning to upgrade, or just curious
Build the business case of a more secure, auditable, and flexible SharePoint 2016 upgrade or deployment
Start planning for the next big version of SharePoint and be ready for release
4. To date our disclosure has predominantly been related to
our core infrastructure investments as that’s the primary
investment area when we begin development – over the
course of the next several months we’ll begin sharing (as soon
as we know) what specific workload areas will be advanced.
SharePoint on-premises will continue to ship on a 2-3 year
cadence whereas we update SharePoint Online monthly. Our
objective of defining on-premises through the cloud will bring
some near term parity, but online will receive new capabilities
first. – Bill Baer, SharePoint Team blog.
It’s shipped, but it’s not done… more coming…
