There is a growing trend of organizations moving to “the cloud” to meet their intranet needs. While many organizations are running their Intranets “on-premise,” many are considering entirely cloud-based solutions or running them on platforms like Office 365.
The question for many companies is not “should our intranet be built with Office 365?” but “how should we integrate or build our Intranets with Office 365”. This is even more true today with the emergence of new modern Intranet capabilities and continued innovation from Microsoft that must be reconciled with enterprise Intranet/Digital Workplace needs.
In this session Richard Harbridge will explore:
• The benefits Office 365 brings to an intranet...
• Where the issues and challenges will lie...
• Practical guidance on when and how you may integrate Office 365 with your existing intranet today...

The modern digital workplace and Intranet has a continually increasing number
of digital spaces or ‘sites’ where content is stored and shared.
13. DYNAMIC/PERSONALIZED NAVIGATION…
Office 365’s SharePoint home is now a more modern site directory experience that is more
personalized and dynamic. From recent sites you visited to recent activity relevant to you.

20. DESIGN BETTER NAVIGATION…
Navigation doesn’t need to be limited to top level links, or simple UI layouts. Here we have two
examples of content in the nav, and richer/deeper nav.
Consider bringing targeted

is. How well results match compared to the rest of the index.

conversations in SharePoint, adding

creating a great teams directory navigation
experience with the SharePoint framework.
There are always ways to improve and better align these tools and their capabilities with your
own working environment or working needs.
