harmon.ie Announces Second Annual Top 25 Online SharePoint Influencers
BOSTON --(Business Wire)--
harmon.ie®
today announced its
Second Annual Top 25 Online SharePoint Influencers list, created to
recognize those individuals most influential in helping enterprises
navigate the constantly innovating Microsoft (News - Alert)® SharePoint®
business environment. The list, commissioned by harmon.ie, was compiled
by an analysis of the online impact of more than 700 prominent
SharePoint thought leaders whose blogs and tweets provide a road map for
using SharePoint to build stronger collaborative and social enterprises.
Today's business environment requires companies to be as nimble as
possible to address the changing needs of the organization. And with the
unprecedented recent crop of innovative new technologies, like Windows®
8, Office™ 2013, SharePoint® 2013 and Office™ 365, businesses need these
top 25 influencers to guide them on navigating the complex
multi-platform technology environment.
"Two things are coming into play here - SharePoint has become a more
strategic platform for businesses, while users are looking for better
social solutions, adoption strategies and innovative approaches to
business problems," said Mark Fidelman, CEO of Evolve!, a social
business consultancy, and leading social strategist of the Top 25
Influencer Award. "These 25 individuals are passionate advocates, who
are re-defining the value of social community and collaboration."
To attain the top 25 list, analysts used a formula designed to determine
retweet frequency, blog reach, citations by other influential bloggers
and related factors measuring the impact of individual SharePoint
community members. They then assigned weights to each factor and ranked
the results.
"Being recognized as a top SharePoint influencer is an honor and very
meaningful to me," said Joel Oleson, SharePoint global evangelist.
"There is something very special about community and social networking
that makes what we do break down barriers. I really do love my
followers, and try to get to know them wherever they are around the
world with insight and knowledge to help them carry on."
