Transcript of The 2017 SharePoint and Office 365 Industry Survey€¦ · What SharePoint or Office 365 workloads...
Sharegate recently partnered with HyperFish and Nintex to survey 449 IT
professionals and discover how they are using SharePoint and Office 365 in
2017. We compiled the results and compared them with our 2016 survey. Then,
we asked industry experts for their thoughts on the findings. We now share our
findings with the community so it can be used to educate organizations on
trends and best practices.

A growing number of businesses have moved their infrastructure
to the cloud, but many of them have concerns over security and
cost. Before they migrate, Microsoft needs to address their doubt.
What Is keeping organizations from moving their on-premises SharePoint to the cloud?

On-premises environments remain strong, but more
organizations are starting to move to Office 365 completely.
How is SharePoint deployed in your organization?
Benjamin Niaulin, Product Manager, Sharegate
The move to the cloud is not always as easy as it sounds. Microsoft has released a content migration tool to help customers
leave SharePoint 2010 and 2013, but it just isn’t enough. Here at Sharegate, we still see a large number of customers
leveraging our tools to migrate while keeping their existing site structure and objects.

SharePoint Online and SharePoint 2016 have gained significant
ground in the past year. SharePoint 2016 has seen a 67% increase
in deployment, while SharePoint Online deployments rose by
167%. This data shows that organizations are leaving old versions
behind in favor of SharePoint’s modern user interface and cloud
functionality.

In the past year, companies have added more customizations
to their SharePoint deployments. Customizations in all areas
– from workflows to site provisioning – have increased. This
data shows that SharePoint remains a highly flexible platform
that can deliver greater value if you customize it to meet
your needs.
What SharePoint customizations has your organization implemented?
Sébastien Leduc, Chief Product Officer at Sharegate
This makes sense to me. Administrators don’t have the
time to do everything by themselves. They are always
looking for new IT solutions to manage user
permissions. Third-party tools can help them ensure
that everyone has the right access.
“
46% of organizations either use or plan to use a third-
party tool for their daily administration tasks.
Does your organization use third party SharePoint administrator tools?

Even though cloud security is a top concern,
a growing number of companies (19%) never take
the precaution of running a security check.
How often does your organization check for potential breaches in your environment?
Benjamin Niaulin, Microsoft Regional Director & Product Advisor at Sharegate
Security is much more robust in the cloud – we can no longer argue against this. As our end users demand more
from what we offer, the move is inevitable for most. Also, Microsoft’s Office 365 usage numbers seem to double
each year, with SharePoint now leading in not one, but two Magic Quadrants.

Delve, now rebranded to "Intelligent Search &

Businesses are starting to understand how a
personalized search tool can improve their
productivity in Office 365.
What SharePoint or Office 365 workloads do you plan to use in the future?
Louis-Philippe Vallée, Product Manager at Sharegate
Unfortunately, 50% of organizations still enforce their
governance manually which is incredibly time
consuming! I hope the new SharePoint Administration
Center will help them better define and enforce their
governance policies.

SharePoint and Office 365 usage and deployments.
Methodology and Participant Profile
Jeremy Thake, VP of Product Technology at Hyperfish@jthake
Very few (12%) had integrations with other systems to keep Active Directory up-to-date. This is usually because the system of
record for profile information such as Job Title, Department and Manager is not Active Directory. For this reason, the most
common systems to integrate with Active Directory are Human Resource Management Systems.

Hybrid and Azure implementations of Active Directory
are growing, while on-premises only deployments have
dropped. This trend shows a confidence boost in cloud
directory services.
