As a core part of Office 365, SharePoint provides content management and collaboration capabilities that are seamlessly integrated with the other applications people use every day to create and co-author documents, meet and work with their teams, brainstorm, analyze and make decisions. SharePoint is also integrated with the powerful cross-suite capabilities of Office 365, such as Office 365 Groups, the Office Graph, and governance controls for security, privacy and compliance.<\/p>\n<p>More than 200,000 organizations use SharePoint today and an extraordinary community of more than 50,000 partners and 1 million developers make up a $10 billion solutions ecosystem around SharePoint.<\/p>\n<p>And the best is yet to come.

Customers regularly bring data from other systems into SharePoint lists to support business processes. Last week, we announced Microsoft Flow, a new service for automating workflow across the growing number of apps and SaaS services that business users rely on. Microsoft Flow includes connectors that enable you to exchange data between SharePoint and a variety of Microsoft and third-party services, and store and modify that data within SharePoint. We\u2019re pleased to announce deep integration of SharePoint and Microsoft Flow, which allows you to create and launch Flows directly from a SharePoint list.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve also announced the public preview of PowerApps, our new enterprise service for innovators everywhere to connect, create and share business apps with team members on any device in minutes. PowerApps is also being integrated directly into the modern team site, so you can create cross-platform PowerApps that utilize SharePoint lists and libraries as a data source.

The client-side development framework will allow developers to use modern JavaScript and web templating frameworks across cloud and on-premises SharePoint.<\/p>\n<p>We used the SharePoint Framework to create many of the experiences that we announced today, like the home page of a team site. Our customers can now build similarly powerful, rich apps and experiences in SharePoint, integrating services across Office 365 following the same patterns, practices and process we use to build native SharePoint experiences. Pages and experiences built with the SharePoint Framework will be mobile by default and will be integrated with the SharePoint mobile app.<\/p>\n<p>The SharePoint Framework embraces the tools, frameworks and open source initiatives that developers rely on today, and it extends the scope of solutions that can be built on SharePoint, in the cloud and on-premises.<\/p>\n<p>The SharePoint Framework will be released to Office 365 customers in First Release this summer. Web parts built with the framework can be added to modern pages and experiences and to existing pages.<\/p>\n<p>In the third quarter of 2016, you will see:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Files API on Microsoft Graph.<\/li>\n<li>SharePoint Webhooks (preview).<\/li>\n<li>Client-side web parts for existing pages (preview).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And by the end of 2016, we will deliver:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Sites API on Microsoft Graph.<\/li>\n<li>SharePoint Webhooks (GA).<\/li>\n<li>Custom sites on the SharePoint Framework.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Security, privacy and compliance<\/h3>\n<p>We operate Office 365 with a commitment to security, privacy and compliance. In SharePoint, we bring together security, privacy, and compliance with a simple and powerful set of administrative controls, policies and reports.<\/p>\n<p>We know there can be no security without usability. That\u2019s why we provide you with IT controls that ensure the right balance between security and user productivity, so that the level of security is commensurate with the sensitivity of the content.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we are announcing dynamic conditional access policies in SharePoint that intelligently define access based on who you are, the app or device you are using and your network location.<\/p>\n<p>We equip you with tools to discover and protect content with data loss protection (DLP) policies, both in Office 365 and in SharePoint Server 2016. We offer more than 80 pre-built definitions of sensitive content, and you can add your own custom policies. These policies can be set once and applied across your tenant and into your on-premises farms. Later this year, you will be able to classify a SharePoint site so that appropriate policies are scoped to all content in a site.<\/p>\n<p>When you need insight into security and privacy, for auditing or compliance purposes, we give you detailed reporting and auditing. Earlier this year, we introduced Advanced eDiscovery that integrates machine learning, predictive coding and text analytics to reduce the costs and challenges that come with sorting through large quantities of data. Later this year, we will release SharePoint Insights, a service which aggregates usage and compliance data from on-premises and cloud into the Office 365 Reporting Center, so you can get a unified view across your entire organization.<\/p>\n<p>And we will continue to lead the fight to protect your data and to ensure privacy. I\u2019m happy to announce that by the end of the year we will allow you to bring and manage your own keys to encrypt your data stored in SharePoint.<\/p>\n<p>To summarize, we currently support:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Customer Lockbox.<\/li>\n<li>DLP, mobile device management (MDM) and mobile application management (MAM).<\/li>\n<li>Whitelist and blacklist domains for external sharing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This quarter, we will release:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dynamic conditional access policies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And by the end of 2016, you will see:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>New datacenters in Germany and Canada.<\/li>\n<li>Bring your own encryption key.<\/li>\n<li>Granular access controls.<\/li>\n<li>SharePoint site classification.<\/li>\n<li>Hybrid SharePoint Insights (preview).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Learn more about these announcements in this video:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0mvZr_Gc36U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" gesture=\"media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>You can learn more about the robust security, privacy and compliance fabric of Office 365 at the <a href=\"http:\/\/trust.office365.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Office 365 Trust Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Connecting you with innovation<\/h3>\n<p>At Microsoft, our mission as a company\u2014to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more\u2014is not only about the products we create, but how we enable customers to get the most value out of those products and services.
