Many organisations consider their intranet to be still fresh, if it's renewed within five years. But if you look at how much communications technology and ways of working have changed during the last five years, you may want to re-evaluate the status of your intranet as well. 

If 5 years ago, the basic building blocks of an intranet were IT department as the project lead, on-prem SharePoint, stock price as an RSS feed on the front page and lunch list, what are the new ones? In the modern M365 world, things are a bit different.

In this session, I will present top 5 topics that cause debate on the customer project groups and what kind of solutions we have found for them. Demos included! 

Dos and don'ts when transforming your intranet to this decade

With custom connectors, you can combine the flexibility of APIs with the easy-to-use awesomeness that is the Power Platform. While there are a lot of examples for simple connectors, custom connectors offer a variety of advanced but less well-known features. Let's change the less-know part! 🚀

Did you know that you can have fields with dynamic option values? Or that you can create action where some fields are completely dynamic and loaded at runtime? You can even create custom connectors with custom triggers 👌

We will spend little time on theory but instead are focusing on awesome features in live demos 🔥
