This Is the Way: of Sharing From the Cloud. Aired January 2020. We put a lot of time and effort into moving our business data into SharePoint and OneDrive. Along the migration way are mapping and organization exercises, setting up of columns for metadata, creation of views… blood, sweat, and tears.
Why? What’s the point? I’ve been asked the question, “Ok, my stuff is in SharePoint. Now what?”
