Ignite Day 1: Supporting the Digital Workplace

9/26/16 10:47 AM

It is the first day of Microsoft largest customer event of the year -- Ignite -- and the Beezy team is ready and excited for a week of customer conversations, announcements, and networking! With more than 20,000 attendees converging on the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, we are looking forward to a crowded booth (2044). Much of the theme this week will be around the digital transformation that is underway in the enterprise, and its impact on the business world. As we have seen with the evolution of intranets and stand-alone communication and collaboration solutions, companies are beginning to understand that they can't just add tools on top of existing platforms -- organizations need to transform their systems and culture into a Digital Workplace to better leverage these technologies to improve business speed, agility, and reach.

In support of this industry shift toward the Digital Workplace and our ongoing innovations to help make SharePoint more personalized, contextual, and intelligent, Beezy has redesigned our company website and updated our branding. If you're a frequent visitor to our website, you probably noticed some of the changes. Feel free to take a look around!

As outlined in a press release this morning, Beezy is expanding our product focus away from the traditional intranet model and toward the more advanced communication and collaboration needs of the Digital Workplace to better meet the needs of a rapidly evolving and maturing collaboration space. The Beezy product roadmap is focused on features and use cases around the four pillars outlined in the new company website: Collaboration, Communication, Knowledge, and Processes. This approach will help customers to deploy Beezy as their unified Digital Workplace solution, well beyond collaboration alone.

As part of the new website design, we have also created a short demo video that quickly showcases the Beezy solution, and which you can find on the front page of our new site. Of course, if you're attending Ignite this week in Atlanta, we'd love to show you a live demo of the product. You can find us all week at Booth 2044 in the Expo Hall. And we have a great lineup of content and speakers all week. You can find our full schedule here.
