One of the problems that came up this week is actually a problem that came up in December.

On December 15th we got a warning about disk health in a server; there is a drive that is at risk of failure.

A ticket was created for me to create a quote to replace the drive.

There was no part number associated with the ticket, and because of the type of server, there was no easy way to access configuration information online and our hardware documentation is a disaster (I have thought it was a disaster since the acquisition; I set up hardware documentation at the old job specifically to avoid issues like this and now all that documentation is gone because we didn't keep any licenses of the old job's CRM). This was not a situation where I could find a part number.

I contacted Tech Alice and asked her to check the part number on the server. Alice reported back that because the drive was part of a RAID array, she couldn't get the part number. She recommended asking Bob, and put her time entry on the ticket.

I contacted Tech Bob and asked him if he could find the part number for the drive on the server; Bob also reported back that he could not find a way to get the part number from the server, he recommended that Charlie collect the part number when he went onsite. Bob added his time to the ticket (still my ticket) and added the status "onsite needed."

Now it is December 23rd. I have messaged Charlie and asked him to check the part number when he is onsite and have added him to the ticket. I'm out of the office today, Charlie is out of the office next week. Charlie does not remember to look at the part number when he is onsite. It is the end of the year.

Now it is January 15th. We lost the first week of the year to assessments, and the second week of the year to the state and our clients being on fire - people were unable to go onsite because of all of that. Charlie is going onsite. I remind him to get the part number when he is at the client site. When he is at the client site he alerts me that actually he is at their other location, not the location with the server.

Now it is January 27th. Charlie is going back onsite, he is on my ticket, the ticket is set to onsite needed. I remind Charlie that we need the part number. Charlie does not remember.

Now it is February 6th. We have created a whole new ticket for Charlie with the *EXPRESS STATED PURPOSE* of going onsite to collect a part number for the failing drive in the server. Charlie marks the ticket as "waiting materials" and makes a note that he can't replace the drive until we order the part.

Now it is February 7th. We have explained, in writing, in Charlie's ticket that we can't order the part until he goes onsite and collects the part number, because we cannot get it because the server won't report the part number if it's in a raid array for reasons that I'll be honest I do not understand.

Now it is February 14th. Charlie closes his ticket and he and Bob pull me into a meeting. The server at the client site is so old they're not sure it's a good idea to replace the drive. Charlie has recommended that the project team quote a migration to sharepoint, which the client has expressed interest in in the past. Bob makes a note of this in my ticket. But I do not close my ticket. I do not close my ticket because I know there must be some fuckery coming. So I put my ticket to "on hold" and set it to reactivate on March 10th so that I can follow up with the project team and see if the migration project is making any progress or if we still need to replace this drive because the server drive is still failing.

It is March 13th. I have a bad week. A very bad week. My manager looks at my open tickets and asks why on earth I still have a server drive failure ticket open from December. I explain that I only have it open to follow up on the migration because the technician suggested server replacement but if there wasn't progress we should still quote a drive, but I still didn't have the part number.

My manager puts me in a chat with me, Charlie, the Project team lead, my manager, and the service team lead and asks what the fuck is going on. I paste Charlie's last update on my ticket and say that I'll be happy to quote a hard drive but I still don't have the part number.

Charlie says "Oh, I put the part number in the ticket" and pastes a photo of a drive (low light, low contrast, and blurry but with a visible part number) in the chat.

"Great!" I say, and immediately assemble a quote and find stock. Then i look back at my ticket. "But I'm actually not seeing the part number on this [my] ticket. Where was that again?"

Charlie has put the part number on his ticket, which I was never on, which he closed.

"Ah, okay. I see."

And here's where the different standards that all of us are used to using work against us.

My old job built RAID servers all the fucking time. It was totally standard, totally easy, totally sensible, and I always knew to double the number of drives we needed for the storage we got because we'd be mirroring. Because we'd be using RAID 10. Because it's robust and can take a lot of failure. A drive failing in a server configured with RAID 10 is not ideal, but it's also not a drop-everything and panic emergency. I *still* wouldn't want to leave it two months in an ideal world but I can't drive up to San Francisco and get a part number, and sometimes the world literally catches on fire.

However, these new folks use RAID 5.

A drive failing in a server configured with RAID 5 *IS* a drop everything emergency, because if one drive goes down the whole system goes down until you can replace the drive and rebuild the array, and because RAID 5 is slower than 10, this can take a very, very long time depending on how much data there is. And if *two* drives fail the data is *gone*

So.

Whose job is it to get the part number, and whose job is it to know that the server is at imminent risk of failure?

Well, now I have properly reconfigured my internal alarms about any failing server drive, but I don't understand why none of the three technicians who worked on this ticket with me didn't at any point say "hey this is an emergency" (Alice is from my old team and used to RAID 10 also, I'm willing to give her a pass) and I'm *really* confused why Bob and Charlie would recommend *not* replacing a drive in a server that is that close to failure.

(And again, I just didn't know. Believe me, I am never, ever going to shut up about drive warning tickets in the future)

And, the thing that scares the shit out of me and my manager and part of the reason why this has been a bad week and I'm having stressful conversations: What if I had just closed that ticket instead of letting it reactivate to follow up on? What if I had just marked it as done when Charlie gave me the update? It wouldn't have been an old-ass ticket in my queue that my manager flagged, it would have been a note in an after-action report when the client's server crashed.

(The client has the quote now with the statement "this failing drive puts your server at risk of failure and we strongly recommend replacing" but they haven't approved it yet because they're really cheap so I'm going to have to send it again and say "this is a mission critical part that you need to replace; your server is at risk as long as the drive is not replaced.")

So. The boss is asking "why is procurement taking so long" and really, now that I'm thinking about it - because he brought it up - how much of this really IS supposed to be my job?

Designing Engaging Intranets: Best Practices for User Experience in SharePoint Online

A well-designed intranet is not simply a place to store documents. It is a central hub connecting teams, streamlining communication, and supporting productivity. SharePoint Online, part of Microsoft 365, has become a robust platform for building engaging, collaborative digital workplaces. However, the success of a SharePoint-based intranet depends significantly on how user-friendly and intuitive the experience is. By prioritizing user experience (UX), organizations can transform their intranet into a space employees actually want to use.

Below are essential best practices for designing engaging intranets in SharePoint Online, especially for organizations seeking scalable Multilingual Intranet experiences and global-ready functionality.

Define clear goals and user personas

Start by understanding who will use the intranet and what they expect. Create user personas based on roles, teams, or locations. Identify their daily needs—whether accessing documents or finding policies. Setting clear goals based on these insights ensures every design decision supports usability and business outcomes.

Simplify navigation with logical site architecture

Keep navigation simple and intuitive. Use mega menus and global navigation to minimize clicks. Structure content into hubs and communication sites that reflect company departments. A Multilingual Intranet should also provide content in users’ preferred languages to support inclusivity across regions.

Design for visual clarity and consistency

Use consistent layouts, fonts, and colors. Maintain a clean layout by using adequate white space and a well-defined visual hierarchy. Ensure headings stand out and fonts are readable. Make the design responsive so it functions seamlessly across all devices, including mobile.

Leverage personalization and audience targeting

Deliver content relevant to each user group by using SharePoint’s audience targeting. Customize updates and links based on roles or departments. This is especially useful when deploying Multilingual SharePoint Solutions, where content must be localized for different regions and language groups.

Integrate powerful search and tagging

Good search functionality is essential. Use Microsoft Search, add metadata tags, and configure filters. Pin key results and create custom search verticals. In Multilingual SharePoint Solutions, ensure the search tool retrieves content across languages, improving access to information.  For a more customized experience, add PnP Modern Search

Encourage collaboration with modern web parts

Use modern web parts like Viva Engagefeeds, document libraries, and polls to foster interaction. Integrate Microsoft tools like Teams and OneDrive into the intranet to support seamless collaboration without switching platforms.

Ensure continuous feedback and improvement

Gather user feedback regularly and track engagement using SharePoint analytics or Microsoft Clarity. Learn what content users engage with and refine the intranet accordingly. This is vital as your Multilingual Intranet expands or changes over time.

Designing an engaging intranet in SharePoint Online is not a one-time project—it is an ongoing process driven by user needs and organizational goals. By applying best practices in UX, navigation, design, personalization, and collaboration, organizations can ensure that their digital workplace is practical and enjoyable. Investing in Multilingual Intranet features and robust Multilingual SharePoint Solutions is essential for global teams to deliver inclusive and localized user experiences. Prioritizing these strategies will result in a high-performing intranet that boosts engagement, productivity, and collaboration across the enterprise.

The Ultimate Guide to SharePoint Customization in 2025

Introduction

Microsoft SharePoint has evolved into a powerful platform for enterprise content management, collaboration, and digital workplace solutions. While SharePoint offers a wide range of out-of-the-box features, organizations often require SharePoint Customization to meet their specific business needs. Whether it’s building workflows, developing custom web parts, or personalizing the user interface, customizing SharePoint can significantly enhance productivity and user engagement.

In this article, we’ll delve deep into the technical aspects of SharePoint customization, exploring various options for SharePoint Online Customization, strategies for SharePoint Intranet Personalization, and how to develop SharePoint Custom Solutions tailored to unique enterprise requirements.

Why Customize SharePoint?

SharePoint's core strength lies in its flexibility. However, standard features might not align perfectly with your organizational workflow, compliance needs, or branding guidelines. Customization helps:

Streamline business processes through automated workflows.

Improve UI/UX with personalized dashboards and navigation.

Integrate third-party systems and data sources.

Reinforce company branding on intranet portals.

Types of SharePoint Customization

There are two primary methods of customizing SharePoint:

1. No-Code/Low-Code Customizations

These are built using SharePoint's built-in tools and require minimal developer effort:

Power Automate Workflows: Automate business processes.

Power Apps: Create custom forms or apps.

Modern Web Parts: Use reusable web parts like document libraries, calendars, and custom lists.

SPFx (SharePoint Framework): A low-code development model to build client-side extensions using React/TypeScript.

2. Full-Code Customizations

Ideal for complex requirements where out-of-the-box features fall short:

Custom Web Parts and Extensions

Custom APIs using Azure Functions or Azure Logic Apps

Integration with Line-of-Business (LoB) systems

Advanced branding using PnP templates and CSS/HTML

SharePoint Online Customization: Best Practices

SharePoint Online Customization has unique challenges compared to SharePoint Server, primarily due to Microsoft 365's cloud-first model and continuous updates. Here are some best practices:

1. Use the SharePoint Framework (SPFx)

SPFx is the recommended way to create modern web parts and extensions in SharePoint Online. It leverages open-source tools like Node.js, Gulp, and React.

2. Avoid Farm Solutions and Full-Trust Code

These are deprecated in SharePoint Online. Use sandboxed solutions or client-side scripting.

3. Leverage Power Platform

The Power Platform (Power Automate, Power Apps, Power BI) is tightly integrated with SharePoint Online, allowing low-code solutions for automation, analytics, and UI improvements.

4. Use PnP Provisioning Engine

The Patterns and Practices (PnP) Provisioning Engine allows you to define custom site templates and provisioning logic using XML or JSON configurations.

SharePoint Intranet Personalization Techniques

An intranet is often the central hub of internal communication, and SharePoint Intranet Personalization ensures that it remains relevant and user-focused. Here’s how you can technically personalize SharePoint intranets:

1. Audience Targeting

Modern web parts like Quick Links, Hero, and News support audience targeting. This allows you to display content based on Azure AD groups.

Technical Setup:

Enable audience targeting in web part settings.

Assign Azure AD groups to the content block.

2. Personalized Dashboards with Microsoft Graph

Microsoft Graph API can fetch user-specific data (e.g., documents, emails, tasks) and render it dynamically on intranet pages.

Use Case:

Show recent documents or pending tasks for the logged-in user.

3. Custom Navigation and Branding

Use the SharePoint Look Book or create SPFx extensions to control headers, footers, themes, and navigational layouts.

4. Localization and Language Variants

Create multilingual experiences using SharePoint’s multilingual publishing capabilities. Customize content and labels based on user’s preferred language.

Developing SharePoint Custom Solutions

Developing SharePoint Custom Solutions often involves integrating SharePoint with enterprise systems like ERP, CRM, or HR platforms. Here’s a breakdown of technical considerations:

1. External Data Integration via Business Connectivity Services (BCS)

BCS enables the integration of external data sources like SQL, SAP, or custom APIs into SharePoint lists.

2. Custom Forms with Power Apps

Replace InfoPath forms with Power Apps. Customize list forms or create standalone apps that can be embedded in SharePoint pages.

3. Custom Connectors

Use Azure API Management to create custom connectors that integrate third-party platforms like Salesforce, ServiceNow, or SAP with SharePoint.

4. Security and Governance

All custom solutions must adhere to governance policies. Use Microsoft 365 Security & Compliance Center to monitor and control data access.

SEO Optimization Tips for SharePoint Portals

Customizing SharePoint for intranet use doesn’t mean ignoring SEO, especially for public-facing SharePoint sites.

Tips:

Use H1-H5 tags properly in custom master pages or modern site templates.

Optimize images with ALT text and descriptive filenames.

Ensure fast load times with optimized SPFx packages.

Use metadata and page descriptions for better indexing.

Add breadcrumb navigation using SPFx components or PnP libraries.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

Over-customizing can make migration and updates difficult.

Ignoring mobile responsiveness in custom web parts.

Lack of proper version control in SPFx solutions.

Hardcoding values instead of using dynamic tokens or configuration settings.

Conclusion

SharePoint Customization offers powerful capabilities for building enterprise-grade solutions that are tailored to your business workflows and employee experience. Whether you're enhancing collaboration through SharePoint Online Customization, improving user engagement with SharePoint Intranet Personalization, or building complex SharePoint Custom Solutions, understanding the technical framework is key to long-term success.

Customizing SharePoint the right way ensures scalability, maintainability, and a strong return on investment.

Managing multiple versions of a document can be chaotic. Use version control to maintain a single source of truth, ensuring that everyone accesses the most updated document. This practice eliminates confusion and prevents the use of outdated information.

Pro Tip: Many document management systems automatically maintain version histories, making it easy to track changes.

6. Monitor and Optimize Your Workflow

Continuously review your document management workflow to identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies. Use analytics and feedback from team members to make improvements. An optimized workflow adapts to changing business needs, keeping your organization agile.

Questions to Ask:

Are documents moving through the workflow efficiently?

Are team members satisfied with the process?

Are there any recurring issues or delays?

7. Train Your Team

Even the best workflows won’t succeed without proper training. Ensure all team members understand the tools and processes in place. Offer regular training sessions and provide resources like guides or video tutorials to keep everyone up to date.

Conclusion

A seamless document management workflow is the backbone of efficient operations in any organization. By defining processes, leveraging automation, ensuring security, and fostering collaboration, you can eliminate inefficiencies and focus on achieving business goals.
