27. » Is Microsoft only going to Cloud?
» How much investment will Microsoft make in
On-Premises software?
» Can we trust that Hybrid is a Real Scenario?

28. » Can we trust our eyes and our ears?
» How can we distinguish what is really going on?
» It can be difficult to listen to one thing and
observe something else.
» Be aware. Be vigilant.
» Always weigh what you see and hear against
Your Requirements.

29. » “My point here: Microsoft's recognition that hybrid environments will
remain a major factor for at least the next 5 years (and I predict much
longer) should be security that SharePoint as an on premises platform is not
going anywhere.
That doesn't mean Microsoft will change how their people are measured
and paid, or how they will market their software.
Their eye is on the growth opportunities in front of them -- which means
the cloud.
But Microsoft as a company is not stupid: they know how much money will
continue to come through enterprises (and a lot of SMBs) via on premises
software.
The opportunity is in recognizing the difference between the marketing and
the needs of your business (or your customer's business).”
