Session Abstract

Your intranet is the entry point to all your company tools and resources. This can be anything from an external website or solution, a custom application, etc. How to centralize all these different tools and applications is one of the most common questions Sympraxis Consulting gets from clients. Typically, organizations will manually add links to these resources using various web parts across many sites. There is no way out of the box to search your environment for these links. This introduces individual management of enterprise resources, which can cause challenges when there are company changes. For example, if your company uses Workday for their finances but then decides to switch to Oracle, you’ll have to manually adjust all the different links to Workday within your intranet. If all those links are centralized it is scalable and much easier to manage as the owner of that link can instead edit in one place and have it reflected everywhere.   In this session, we'll take a holistic view of the technology through the lens of the Maturity Model for Microsoft 365 and gain an understanding of current state vs. desired state can help organizations in these important ways:   - Define current state and limitations with out of the box web parts - Understand and compare options for solving your organizations quick links issues through extension - Identify the pros and cons of each approach

Note to event organizers

This session crosses boundaries and ends with custom code, but I think of it as an art of the possible. You may disagree and want to remove some of the audience targets if interested.
