Wow... all excited to look after the new features available in SP 2016 and introduction made in Ignite sessions. Yup, eagerly waiting to watch what is there in the new version and how is it going to give value to the business as like you :).
Nevertheless the future of SharePoint is more dependent on cloud strategy the companies going to follow and the way service providers tie up with companies to bring SharePoint in cloud. The next growth of SharePoint and its market value is purely depends on how it will be used to solve the business problems with less cost and efficient way without disturbing the existing systems.
Some of the strategic paths that we can think and recommended by various trend setters(CMS, Gartner) are given here,
1. On Premise
Yup ! On-Premise solutions will still rule the SharePoint world. Because most of the customers still looking a complete control and flexible enough to do customization's. Future version of On-Premise SP will have all major features enabled as like cloud option. This is because many customers still reside on older versions of SharePoint On-Prem and not willing to move to cloud.
2. O365 - SP Online
As lot of new features available and the speed MS is rolling out the feature updates in O365 makes customers excited. Current business highly impressed with the cost implications made by O365, yes it is very less compared to On-Prem on either implementation of new solution or maintaining it. As a trend O365-SP Online will continue to be served as a SaaS model and verticals like healthcare, manufacturing will focus on SaaS model greatly.
3. Hybrid
Current trend in SharePoint world is Hybrid Model - deployments that combine Office 365 with on-premises SharePoint. SharePoint Online will continue to make it easier to migrate workloads to the cloud — giving customers the best of both worlds. We have already seen seamless hybrid integration between the My Sites of on-premises SharePoint and OneDrive for Business on Office 365, and Microsoft is continually opening up new ways to move content to the cloud faster
