Designing an Intranet in SharePoint Online could potentially turn out to be a disaster. Developers build the intranet with On Premise SharePoint specifications in mind, resulting in a slow intranet. SharePoint Online however is a great tool to build your company intranet. Many large organizations use it to communicate with their employees throughout the world. This presentation describes the most commonly made mistakes when building out a SharePoint Online intranet. Thing you need to consider in order for the Intranet not to be slow but also to make sure you get the most out of your environment.
