RemarksThe opinions in this deck are my own and do not necessarily reflect or equal to any opinions of Whitesoft or IBM.All information about O365 and Sharepoint is based on my own end-user experience. All conclusions are based on my personal experience using common, regular environments and accounts, both product are considered to be in the “out-of-box” configuration.I am not an expert on O365.Cloud offerings change very quickly so the information might be outdated when you read it. Screenshots taken in June 2016.This deck does not compare the products completely but only from a social collaboration perspective.
The information is provided “as-is”. I can not guarantee that the information in this deck is precise, complete, correct and otherwise valid. I believe that you find this comparison true and useful however I can not accept responsibility for any of your future decisions. If you do not like this policy, do not read further.

Introduction• There are good stuff and bad stuff in Microsoft
Office 365• In this deck you will learn why IBM

What does SOCIAL mean?
“Social” is…
… to be in touch with colleagues, to communicate, to collaborate, to share ideas
in order to get my work done faster and better

What companies do and say• Companies having (!) O365 buy IBM
Connections• “we could do the same using OneDrive,
SharePoint, Yammer and … but we like that in Connections everything is at a single place”
![Page 12: IBM Connections vs. Office 365 - Episode II](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062823/5872ca301a28ab0c718b70f5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What companies do and say• A know an IT company who sells and
implements SharePoint that decided for Connections for internal use
• “well, we sell Sharepoint but I’d never implement it for our company. It is far too complex”

Pain points in O365
![Page 23: IBM Connections vs. Office 365 - Episode II](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062823/5872ca301a28ab0c718b70f5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
I have never heard…• We are more innovative because of O365• O365 connects people within our enterprise• Our users love 0365
(such a poor life I live)
![Page 24: IBM Connections vs. Office 365 - Episode II](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062823/5872ca301a28ab0c718b70f5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
On the other hand, I have heard• O365 is complex• The tools are not integrated• Why we should use several separated tools to
achieve this or that?
![Page 25: IBM Connections vs. Office 365 - Episode II](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062823/5872ca301a28ab0c718b70f5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
This is what O365 users see after sign in

Does it sound familiar?• Until now, most PC software was designed for
individuals using individual PCs. But today, more and more people are working in teams on networked PCs that require a new kind of software. Software that lets them quickly share ideas and information no matter where, when or how they work.

Does it sound familiar?• Lotus Notes add
from 1991 (!)• Is Microsoft 25
years behind?

Reason #1 - Complexity
![Page 30: IBM Connections vs. Office 365 - Episode II](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062823/5872ca301a28ab0c718b70f5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Complexity is the show stopper• Which tool to use?• How to fit everything together.• Inconsistent GUI and user experience• SharePoint complexity
![Page 31: IBM Connections vs. Office 365 - Episode II](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062823/5872ca301a28ab0c718b70f5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
What O365 users need
![Page 32: IBM Connections vs. Office 365 - Episode II](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062823/5872ca301a28ab0c718b70f5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
What O365 users might use (if trained)
![Page 33: IBM Connections vs. Office 365 - Episode II](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062823/5872ca301a28ab0c718b70f5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
… and what O365 users get
![Page 34: IBM Connections vs. Office 365 - Episode II](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062823/5872ca301a28ab0c718b70f5/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Example: files in Yammer
![Page 35: IBM Connections vs. Office 365 - Episode II](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062823/5872ca301a28ab0c718b70f5/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
… files in OneDrive…
![Page 36: IBM Connections vs. Office 365 - Episode II](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062823/5872ca301a28ab0c718b70f5/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
… files in in SharePoint
![Page 37: IBM Connections vs. Office 365 - Episode II](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062823/5872ca301a28ab0c718b70f5/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
In general• Files are stowed in multiple silos• Overlapping functionalities, inconsistent UX• No social capabilities• Therefore they need
Delve and OfficeGraph technology to stich everything together
![Page 38: IBM Connections vs. Office 365 - Episode II](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062823/5872ca301a28ab0c718b70f5/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Reason #2 - Roadmap
![Page 42: IBM Connections vs. Office 365 - Episode II](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062823/5872ca301a28ab0c718b70f5/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
SharePoint is not evolving
![Page 43: IBM Connections vs. Office 365 - Episode II](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062823/5872ca301a28ab0c718b70f5/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
So where is the innovation?• Delve?• Video?• Groups?
![Page 44: IBM Connections vs. Office 365 - Episode II](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062823/5872ca301a28ab0c718b70f5/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Delve

Social strategy in O365• 2012 $1.2 Billion Yammer buy• 2013 Yammer!• 2014 Groups!• 2015 Yammer!• 1/2016 MS layed off its entire team of Yammer
Customer Success Managers (CSMs)• 2/2016 MS enabled Yammer for all customers

Yammer compared to IBM Connections
![Page 47: IBM Connections vs. Office 365 - Episode II](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062823/5872ca301a28ab0c718b70f5/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
How much is Yammer integrated?• Is it integrated with OneDrive?• Is it integrated with SharePoint?
![Page 48: IBM Connections vs. Office 365 - Episode II](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062823/5872ca301a28ab0c718b70f5/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

Conclusions
![Page 57: IBM Connections vs. Office 365 - Episode II](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062823/5872ca301a28ab0c718b70f5/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
O365 vs. social collaboration• Can not work BY DESIGN - see the theory• Customers use mostly Exchange & Onedrive• There are some good features but isolated in
silos• Instead of making the solutions more
integrated, Microsoft adds more and more stuff
![Page 58: IBM Connections vs. Office 365 - Episode II](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062823/5872ca301a28ab0c718b70f5/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Good to know• Customers do not buy O365 to foster
collaboration but to use Outlook/Exchange, OneDrive, Word, Excel, Powerpoint
• Even O365 customers are interested in IBM Connections
![Page 59: IBM Connections vs. Office 365 - Episode II](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062823/5872ca301a28ab0c718b70f5/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
A side-by side comparison • In Connections,
everything is simple, integrated, straightforward and transparent for end users
• Business users are self-sufficient to setup and manage everything themselves
• In O365, features are disintegrated, complex and hidden from the users
• You need experienced (and expensive) consultants to set up and maintain Sahrepoint sites
![Page 60: IBM Connections vs. Office 365 - Episode II](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062823/5872ca301a28ab0c718b70f5/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Remember
There are more than 365 reasons to use IBM Connections
