Today at the SharePoint Conference<\/a> (watch the keynote online today at 12 PM PT at the SharePoint Virtual Summit<\/a>), we showcased recent and upcoming innovations in SharePoint and across Microsoft 365<\/a>\u2014including SharePoint home sites, a dynamic, engaging, and personalized employee experience for your organization<\/strong>. These innovations power the intelligent workplace, where teams can collaborate and streamline workflows, organizations can engage employees and communicate effectively, and individuals can be more creative and productive with experiences and insights powered by artificial intelligence (AI).<\/p>\n The world-class applications in Microsoft 365\u2014including SharePoint, OneDrive, Microsoft Teams, Yammer, Microsoft Stream, PowerApps, and Microsoft Flow\u2014enable digital transformation for more than 500,000 customer organizations and 180 million commercial active users.<\/p>\n Today, I\u2019d like to share highlights of our innovations across the following areas:<\/p>\n Visionaries know that an intelligent intranet powers employee experience, organizational alignment and cultural transformation. The heart of the digital workplace, an intelligent intranet provides shared content and solutions for collaboration, connects people and content across teams and siloes to harness collective knowledge, and drives employee engagement and communications.<\/p>\n Today, one such visionary\u2014Takeda Pharmaceuticals\u2019 Kevin Schramm, Head of IT Strategy and Operations\u2014shared their compelling story. When Takeda, a world-leading pharmaceutical company based in Japan, acquired Shire, a U.S.-based company, they built a SharePoint intranet in just four months to connect the workplace, drive organizational alignment, and power communication for more than 60,000 employees worldwide. Kevin explained, \u201cStarting on Day 1, we wanted to begin to create a shared culture that reflected our values. A new intranet was a key part of representing the combined company to our employees. SharePoint allowed us to meet very aggressive deadlines and helped bring our organizations together, successfully.\u201d<\/p>\n For more than a decade, SharePoint has powered award-winning intranets for hundreds of thousands of customers, leading the industry across every geography and industry. With the move to the cloud, customers have inspired us to deliver even more out-of-box capabilities that accelerate time-to-value. Since the Future of SharePoint event only three years ago, SharePoint has reinvented the intelligent intranet, delivering flexible solutions for teamwork, engaging employee experiences, and AI-powered search and content management. Communication sites, organizational news, hubs, modern team sites, pages, lists, and libraries are now available across browsers and devices, and in the highly rated SharePoint mobile app.<\/p>\n\n
