Just like the first group of cavemen often worried about whether or not they would have the right tools to complete a successful hunt, we too in the modern age have to worry about whether or not our technology will help us accomplish our goals. Clearly, uncertainty exists and has existed in every facet of human life across time and space; and we try our hardest to limit it no matter how little affect our efforts may have. Recently, with the introduction of SharePoint Online, the issue of uncertainty has become a growing point-of-concern for the SharePoint community.
For many SharePoint users and third-party app providers, the arrival of SharePoint Online has generated a number of yet-to-be-answered questions about the future of SharePoint. More and more, I ask myself: What will the future of SharePoint be? Will organizations inevitably move SharePoint functions online? Will organizations settle on some sort of hybrid version where they use both on-premises and online versions? Is SharePoint Online just a fad, or is it a viable option for my organization?
Based on my conversations with SharePoint users, I realize that I'm not the only one with unanswered questions.
In an effort to combat uncertainty and increase user confidence, Bamboo wants to find out how SharePoint users plan on dealing with the presence of SharePoint Online, as well as how they see their future with this product. We've created an exploratory survey and encourage SharePoint users like yourself to provide feedback. So what do you think the future holds for SharePoint? Let us know what YOU think by taking our survey. It should only take you about 5 minutes. In an effort to encourage your participation, Bamboo will be donating $1 to a cause close to our heart, the ALS Association, for each completed survey.
