Modernize your SharePoint-based Intranet
Strategies for Modernizing your Intranet
🗓 August 20 | 11:00 AM EST
Still running your intranet on SharePoint 2016 or 2019?
You’re not alone—but time is running out. Microsoft will officially end support for SharePoint 2016 and SharePoint 2019 in July 2026. That means now is the time to plan — not just to avoid risk, but to unlock the value that a world-class, modern intranet can deliver.
In this expert-led session, SharePoint MVP Sean McDonough and Lead Evangelist Troy Trudel will show you how to approach modernization with strategy and vision—transforming your intranet into a modern, engaging AI-powered digital workplace.
This is more than a modernization. It’s an opportunity for transformation.
Modernizing your intranet isn’t just an IT initiative—it’s a strategic opportunity to:
- Empower internal comms with more dynamic tools and publishing flexibility
- Deliver personalized, engaging digital experiences for every employee
- Reduce IT dependency through no-code content management
- Integrate Microsoft 365 tools natively to boost productivity and collaboration
With end-of-support for SharePoint 2016 and 2019 approaching fast, it’s the perfect time to rethink your intranet—and Akumina is here to help.
