SharePoint Potential for Surface Pro 3
July 8, 2014
Microsoft’s Surface Pro 3 made waves as one of the first high profile enterprise ready tablets. Mobility is no longer a trend, but a necessity, with mobile search set to surpass desktop search this year. SharePoint needs to keep itself in the mobility game, and Surface Pro 3 may be one way to do that. Redmond covers the story in their article, “Why SharePoint Admins Should Check Out Surface Pro 3.”
Tamir Orbach, Metalogix’s director of product management for SharePoint migration product, gave his opinion on the new device:
“’Pretty much all of us professionals want or need both a laptop or desktop and a slate,” Orbach said. ‘It’s so light that you can carry it anywhere you want and you would barely even feel it. And the screen is big enough, the resolution is good, the functionality is powerful enough to be used as our day-to-day computer.’”
Stephen E. Arnold has made a career out of following all things search. Enterprise is particularly affected by search, good and bad, and SharePoint is unequivocally the biggest player in the enterprise game. However, it has struggled with mobile functionality. And while critics will not be completely satisfied if Microsoft claims SharePoint’s mobile struggles must be settled with another Microsoft product, it does show some movement in the right direction. Keep an eye on Arnold’s SharePoint feed on his Web site, ArnoldIT.com, for the latest news, tips, and tricks.
