SharePoint Saturday - From P to Shining P

Editor's Notes

• #8: P to Shining P == Pariah to Possible to Premium - A journey that each team takes, one user at a time
• #10: SDL Innovate 2013 - Keynote: The Art of Enchantment with Guy Kawasaki - My counter starts now, we have 10 slides before the last one, and only 20 total.
• #11: History of SharePoint / Portal at Nu Skin Microsoft Office Shared Server -> SharePoint 2007 -> Wordpress -> 0SharePoint 2010 – Insite SharePoint 2010 – Insider (Hired first full time developer) -> SharePoint 2013 Portal was big bang, everything else has been Organic If you do Big Bang the support should be in place Organic can be hard to sustain Either way, launching your solution is only the beginnning
• #12: Information Architecture People will only come to the portal to get something they want, but you don’t always have control over what goes there Whistle blower / Stocks What we should have Weather / Traffic / Personal Documents What other people have done Time off / Payroll Work every where No VPN – must be available any where Search has *got* to work – talk about broken search / people search Fast means lightweight pages and optimized code, that takes time and work We support IE, Firefox, Chrome and Safari for end users with some exceptions. Most don’t run into the exceptions. We’ve had responsive from the launch of iNSider, every new app gets tested on phones Content is hard, must be fresh, relevant and local. (Market rollout)
• #13: http://www.topsharepoint.com/ But SharePoint is ugly, we want it to look like that….. Spend on design, but your users won’t always use it -> QMS SOP site You can’t hide *all* the SharePoint so be prepared to deal with disappointment…..
• #14: Stolen from Susan Hanley Search feedback leads to a chance to add to sponsored search and identifies missing content. Feedback does much the same and also helps identify incorrect information We don’t get a ton of either, but every report we get is responded to from the team, generally within 30 minutes or less.
• #15: Travel App – Charlie story Mobile Phone Request process – huge time savings do to workflow. Huge cost savings because process was followed Demo?
• #16: Super Users – David & his Distributor Support site / J.R. and his training stuff Security – called to complain the site was gone during weekend roll, we didn’t know they were that involved Outsource – Microsoft’s numbers say $6 to $9 spent “customizing” for every $1 spent on licensing. I say that SharePoint comes out of the box about %70 finished leaving the other %30 up to you. Remember that SharePoint is an Application Development Platform and not a finished product. 3rd party apps frequently get right what Microsoft fumbles
• #17: Governance! User generated sites should be deleted automatically Security settings – what is sensitive information? Build your brand! Support? Build your brand! Slow your flow Build your brand – elevator ads / bathroom doors? / system wide email Essentials email retirement not well received, still!
• #18: We have lots of sites setup as document libraries, but no real overriding “umbrella.” No Records Information Manager No “Defensible Deletion” policy / Document retention schedule Most users still use local storage or file shares (or DropBox)
• #19: Nationwide Insurance famously makes Yammer work – we haven’t figured it out yet Social doesn’t seem to be baked yet, other than Yammer and its hard to differentiate Yammer and Lync in a lot of ways. Discussion Boards very weak
