Our Understanding of What’s Important to You
1. Consistency of User Experience (Navigation / Branding) Across Sites – LiveTiles simply connects into your SharePoint IA e.g. Navigation settings. So if you maintain it centrally there, LiveTiles pages will respect it. From a branding perspective, as demonstrated, brand can be templated and locked down to ensure a consistent style across sites. No custom CSS is required for branding.
2. Avoid Time / Cost / Risk of Custom Development & IT Overhead – LiveTiles provides a comprehensive library of highly configurable “tiles” that you plug into your SharePoint and broader O365 architecture. Beautiful, functional pages can be produced through simple drag and drop with no requirement for code.
3. Personalization Features – LiveTiles provides numerous tiles that relate directly to the logged in user. These include but are not limited to “My Personal Links” tile which allows the user to create their own links which are recorded in the user profile, the “My Recent Documents” tile which lists out the user’s recently accessed files across O365 services and “My Mail” and “My Meetings” widgets.
4. Empowering Business to Own Sites – LiveTiles greatly simplifies not just basic SharePoint content admin like creating pages, editing and uploading documents etc. but also empowers Business Owners to act as designers where that may be appropriate e.g. in the Marketing team.
5. Ability to Extend e.g. UltiPro Widget – While the intention of IT is to avoid custom development, in a complex company it is generally the case that there will be some needs for integration into line of business systems e.g. UltiPro. LiveTiles offers comprehensive tooling for connecting to the UltiPro REST API service via AJAX and JavaScript.
