Our guest in this episode is D'arce Hess, President of DH Consulting. She's an Office Servers and Services MVP specializing in SharePoint and Office 365.

D'arce started her immersion into all things SharePoint and Office 365 at a Silicon Valley SharePoint Saturday and hasn't stopped yet; you can find her at most major SharePoint and Microsoft events sharing her knowledge as an industry expert speaker.

One of the most common reasons I hear for not using SharePoint is that it's ugly. Beside the argument that it is just utilitarian and not really ugly, perception is reality. D'arce has made a career of making the ugly duckling look like a swan and she'll provide us some tips on how you can have "Your Intranet, Your Way…by touching on "Your Journey to a fully customized Intranet in O365"

That was the title of a session she taught at a recent SharePoint conference, one of four classes that focused on SharePoint as a content management system. If you think SharePoint and Office 365 can't be your Intranet platform, I would highly recommend you think again.
