<p>In the not too distant future, I predict SharePoint will disappear altogether. It might take a year, maybe a little longer. But at some point soon it will be gone.</p><p>Let me explain, I'm referring to the word "SharePoint," the name, the brand we have grown accustomed to over the years. I'm not talking about the product, which I'm sure will be with us and going strong for many years to come. Where's SharePoint?</p><p>Why do I think this will happen? Well look at the Office 365 refresh that is currently rolling out to users everywhere. The preview screen for new users talks about Office 365, Office, Lync and Outlook. But not SharePoint. More significantly the main navigation (top right) lists the following items: Outlook Calendar People Newsfeed Skydrive Sites</p><p>Again, no SharePoint.

But the word or branding isn't used.</p><p><a href="http://www.cmswire.com/cms/social-business/prediction-sharepoint-will-disappear-very-soon-019572.php">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.cio.com/article/728615/7_Things_About_SharePoint_2013_All_IT_Pros_Should_Know">7 Things About SharePoint 2013 All IT Pros Should Know</a> (CIO)</p><p><a href="http://www.timesunion.com/business/press-releases/article/Microsoft-SharePoint-2013-Certification-Training-4268569.php">Microsoft SharePoint 2013 Certification Training Offered by NetCom Learning ...</a> (Albany Times Union)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=dytymuD0SxcaUMMfHtCCD6lZ_FnpM&ned=us">5 additional articles.</a></p>
