Let's talk about SharePoint governance - while it's not a sexy topic, governance is a vital part of the implementation process that many businesses ignore. Hamish Denston from Provoke Solutions explains what governance is in Part 1 of this two part series on the topic. Added here from the Provoke blog with their permission.

Previously known as ShareThePoint's annual SharePoint Conference, The Digital Workplace Conference was rebranded for 2015. Held at the end of August in Auckland, NZ, Day 1 focused heavily on small businesses. So of course Suite was there in a flash.

I read an article on Inc today. It was the story of Aaron Levie, the young founder of Box. He's been named entrepreneur of the year in the US. And rightly so. He's built a massive business in a very short time with his cloud storage and collaboration software. Box employs 900 staff and is valued around the $1.2 billion mark!

There's Been an Issue

A few months back we wrote a post about mapped Network Drives from your computer to SuiteFiles. There are some good reasons for doing this especially if you use applications that aren't a part of the Microsoft Office suite and they produce files you want to save directly to the cloud (e.g. PDF files).

I often get asked what the difference is between SharePoint and SuiteFiles? And why, if I'm buying Office 365 where I can use SharePoint as my file management system would I also want to buy SuiteFiles?

Recently a number of people have asked me how to map a network drive to SharePoint.
