Put in business power user terms, if you have developed business solutions such as an Intranet, help desk, employee self-service or other custom site on Office 365 SharePoint Online they may stop working soon if you did not build them using the correct methods. The impact could impact your ability to conduct business.
This announcement may impact any web parts, forms, workflows or branding where code was used by the original developers. Many of these are probably are core to the operation of the application solution. There are a number of other solution development approaches that will become a problem as well.

What does an Intranet portal on Office 365 mean for you? Is it a place for employees to collaborate? Is it a repository for you to access key corporate information and work on your own projects? According to Microsoft, on its Office 365 page, an Intranet portal is a SharePoint site that provides workspaces with customizable security settings for individual teams within the organization.

It’s a basic site intended for small teams to collaborate and share documents that includes a document library, a news feed, a One Note library. That’s it.

Create one of these and make it the template for the staff of that department to access and use. Once your organization grows and your needs expand, so will the Intranet portal structure. An advanced structure will provide self-service functions for employees, such as Service Requests, a Documents Portal and a Forms Portal. Each department will have its own portal allowing access to employees in that department.
