SharePoint 3rd party Product Announcements made at the 2014 SharePoint Conference

A flurry of new product announcements were made at SPC14. Here are a few of the big players...

ShareGate

I spoke with owner Benjamin Niaulin while on the bus to the Las Vegas Speedway where he suggested downloading all available tools now and letting them auto update. They are a SCRUM team, so they release patches biweekly.

The biggest request from his no-brainier migration tool was to truly make it no-brainier and make all features available in PowerShell. This gives you the ability to schedule a migration task. The announcement the next morning came via email that they released PowerShell utilities and I was ecstatic that our customer who use Layer2.de with it's horrible support can now use ShareGate, which costs less and who's Help and Buttons are not written in German! 

• PowerShell Commands 
• Scheduling made possible through PowerShell 
• Choice Column values copied even if a choice is no longer available 
• Export to Excel let’s you Merge documents, rename them or move them 

Harmon.ie 

launches first enterprise collaboration hub. The product has come a long way, but not long enough in my mind. 

Yaccov Cohen created a first ever SharePoint Top Influencers list. Dignitaries include Marc Anderson, Jeremy Thake, Scot Hilier…but they didn't include the Bottom Influencers list, who could include Chris McNulty, Mike Gilronan and myself.
