(PRWEB) August 12, 2013 -- CMSWire.com, a web magazine focused on customer experience management, social business and information management, is holding a Twitter-based gathering, known as a “Tweet Jam,” to discuss the opportunities and challenges of supporting customer communities.
SharePoint 2013 introduced new features and functionality to the platform, but also confusion. Is an on premises deployment better than cloud or is hybrid the answer? Should Yammer be the only social tool or do SharePoint and Yammer combined make up the complete social tool? Is migration even worth it?
Join in on August 14 at 10 am PDT / 1 pm EDT / 1700 GMT as CMSWire and the broader CMSWire community spends an hour discussing the changes that the SharePoint 2013 release brought and how organizations are responding.
These questions will shape the discussion:
1. SharePoint 2013 has been out in some form for over a year ago - how is the market reacting from your perspective?
2. Name three of SharePoint 2013's strongest features? 3 Weakest?
3. On Premises, Office 365, hybrid - how are organizations approaching the implementation decision?
4. What's the real deal with SharePoint and social? Is Yammer necessary?
5. Has SharePoint delivered on mobile? Where has it fallen short?
6. What factors are causing SharePoint to lose a foothold in the enterprise?
To help answer these questions, CMSWire has assembled a great group of industry experts to share sights and field experiences. Panelists include:

Tweet Jam Participation Guidance
Twitter is a highly flexible medium. In order to keep the discussion useful to all, participants should follow the following guidelines:
- Introduce themselves with their first #EIMChat tweet. Include name, job title and organization.
- Subsequent tweets must start with the question number being responded to and the #EIMChat hashtag. For example, "@bigbird Q5 SharePoint mobile comes closer, but still misses the mark #EIMChat "
- Please don't pitch products or services; stay knowledge focused
- Keep the discussion professional, but informal
- Remember that this is a public chat - be thoughtful
