“We’re celebrating Microsoft’s renewed focus on SharePoint by recognizing the independent evangelists and experts who help SharePoint customers better understand and embrace new innovation on the horizon,” said harmon.ie Co-Founder and Vice President of Product Strategy David Lavenda. “There is so much excitement around Microsoft’s product directions, particularly with the new Microsoft Graph as a key enabler of Office 365 capabilities. In the coming year and beyond, these influencers will help the community move to SharePoint Online and implement its frequent and continuous feature changes with ease and confidence.”
Lavenda said that the top 25 SharePoint influencers 2018 will gather at the SharePoint Conference (MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas) on May 21 at harmon.ie’s Booth #309 to celebrate this achievement. We hope that our customers and friends will stop by our booth to meet these terrific people.
