SharePoint 2013 The 10 New Features You’ll Love

  1. Search Engine Optimization – is TONS better. Much of this is due to Analytics moving into search. This will make Analytics Processing Component in SharePoint Server 2013 Preview runs different analytics jobs to analyze content in the search index and user actions that were performed on a site to identify items that users perceive as more relevant than others.
  2. My Documents — My “SkyDrive for Work” – Storing all your documents in the cloud via your MySites was always a good idea – but a bit clunky. SharePoint 2013 greatly improves the MySites capabilities and defaults to saving to SkyDrive. You’ll love the ability to save and sync documents directly to SkyDrive.
  3. Rich Workflows – If workflows were a sore point, they’ve gotten a lot better and seem much more able to handle more complex activities including looping and working with webservices (anyone thinking orchestration?).
  4. App Store – Microsoft is introducing the new App Store model to SharePoint! Users will find dozens and hundreds of pre-built applications you can easily add to SharePoint.
  5. Social Enterprise – Micro blogs, activity feeds, community sites, Following, Likes, and Reputations are some of the new social features being added. The ability to follow users or content will be especially helpful.
  6. Mobility – Microsoft has recognized the importance of mobile optimized views for SharePoint. You will see greatly enhanced mobile capabilities.
  7. Site Permissions – SharePoint 2013 offers a simplified sharing-based model for site permissions management. This will give users easier ways to manage site security.
  8. Themes – SharePoint 2013 brings much richer theme functionality and the ability to add background images.
  9. Content Search Webpart – A really cool webpart. This can be thought of as the next generation of Content Query webpart. Content Search Web Part displays content that was crawled and added to the search index via a query. This query is automatically issued, and it returns results from the search index when users browse to a page that contains the Content Search Web Part.
  10. Metro Interface – The new metro interface sports a much cleaner and concise look. Less clutter. And optimized for touch devices.
