RemarksThe opinions in this deck are my own and do not necessarily reflect or equal to any opinions of Whitesoft or IBM.
All information about O365 and Sharepoint is based on my own end-user experience.
All conclusions are based on my personal experience using common, regular environments and accounts, both product are considered to be in the “out-of-box” configuration.
I am not an expert on O365.
Cloud offerings change very quickly so the information might be outdated when you read it. Screenshots taken in June 2016.
This deck does not compare the products completely but only from a social collaboration perspective.
The information is provided “as-is”. I can not guarantee that the information in this deck is precise, complete, correct and otherwise valid. I believe that you find this comparison true and useful however I can not accept responsibility for any of your future decisions. If you do not like this policy, do not read further.

What companies do and say
• I know an IT company who sells and implements SharePoint that decided for Connections for internal use
• “well, we sell Sharepoint but I’d never implement it for our company. It is far too complex”

Social Connections 11 Chicago, June 1-2 2017
I have never heard…
• We are more innovative because of O365• O365 connects people within our enterprise• Our users love O365
(such a poor life I live)

Social Connections 11 Chicago, June 1-2 2017
On the other hand, I have heard
• O365 is complex
• The tools are not integrated
• Why we should use several separated tools to achieve this or that?

Does it sound familiar?
Until now, most PC software was designed for individuals using individual PCs. But today, more and more people are working in teams on networked PCs that require a new kind of software. Software that lets them quickly share ideas and information no matter where, when or how they work.

Social Connections 11 Chicago, June 1-2 2017
Complexity is the show stopper
• Which tool to use?
• How to fit everything together.
• Inconsistent GUI and user experience
• SharePoint complexity

In general
• Files are stowed in multiple silos
• Overlapping functionalities, inconsistent UX
• No social capabilities
• Therefore they need Delve and OfficeGraphtechnology to stich everything together

O365 now has Teams
• Built on top of Sharepoint
• a feature, not a product (unlike Slack)

How much is Yammer integrated?
• Is it integrated with OneDrive?
• Is it integrated with SharePoint?

Opinion: Yammer is dead man walking
$1.2 billion mistake?

Let us do some math
• More collaboration = more innovation
• More tools = more collaboration
• More tools = more innovation

O365 vs. social collaboration
• Can not work BY DESIGN - see the theory
• Customers use mostly Exchange & OneDrive
• There are some good features but isolated in silos
• Instead of making the solutions more integrated, Microsoft adds more and more stuff (will Teams help?)

Good to know
• Customers do not buy O365 to foster collaboration but to use Outlook/Exchange, OneDrive, Word, Excel, PowerPoint
• Even O365 customers are interested in IBM Connections

A side-by side comparison
• In Connections, everything is simple, integrated, straightforward and transparent for end users
• Business users are self-sufficient to setup and manage everything themselves
• In O365, features are disintegrated, complexand hidden from the users
• You need experienced (and expensive) consultants to set up and maintain Sharepoint sites
