Hi Mark, great content, thanks for laying it out like that. I have been working with SharePoint since it was Tahoe Server way back when, it has been quite an evolution.

Phenomenal Update. For the past six years, I have watched employees foist applications into company workflows bc it’s cool new app.

Everyone in finance will be scrambling to figure out the new Sharepoint framework.

I work with a lot of financial services company and it cracks me up when I see Slack as their chat. I always get the same answer when I ask about not using Teams, “don’t know we just started using slack.”

Don’t even get me started on Zoom.

Executives will talk about operational efficiency but most of them have unbearable workflows. Excel is a mission critical app for these firms so it will be fun to watch the scramble to Sharepoint.
