- 22. Recommendations for enterprise buyers 22 North Patrol Oy
- 23. Recommendations Finally, as an enterprise buyer, what should you take home from this? 1. Microsoft is not going to care about you very much for the next five years or so 2. SharePoint 2015 will most likely be just a fancy service package 3. Remember: Most of Microsoft’s professional service partners are in trouble right now (especially the big ones) – you should look for specialized ones 4. Office 365 will be an office platform for knowledge workers. The more you are a manufacturing/customer service heavy organization, you should also evaluate alternatives. 5. And remember, SharePoint is still a great platform for many purposes. Enjoy it while you still can (=many years) – just don’t expect it to get any better. 23 North Patrol Oy
