The Big Change
SharePoint 2013 – On Premise
• Customer-specific architecture
• Lengthy custom-development projects
• Applications are in silos
• Upgrades every 3-4 years
• Projects are very technical and development
oriented
SharePoint 2016 / Office 365 - Cloud
• Architecture is the same for everyone
• Much faster technical implementation
• Applications are fully integrated: file sharing, email,
messaging, communication, collaboration
• Device independent (PC/Mac, Desktop/Mobile, etc.
• Ever-evolving platform
• Projects are focused on business needs and user
experiences
