21. Hybrid was acknowledged as a need. Not just as a transition strategy but as a reality
that their customers are demanding. There will be another release of SharePoint on-
premise in 2015, but it will be a catch up release of the 365 features that are needed
on-premises. More importantly, Hybrid was acknowledged as a strategy to distribute
some functionality to the cloud and to enable some to remain on-premises.

22. The newly announced API that allows you to call Exchange from the existing
SharePoint or Office Apps is a huge game changer. This really does differentiate the
platform and empower organizations to start having a seamless experience across all
parts of Office 365. For more information check out this landing page There are some
new REST APIs and tooling also
