Devices what devices do users have and is there a bring-your-own-device policy in place?
IT delivery - how does the company currently deliver IT and how is this service viewed
and managed?
Workloads what workloads does the company have that cant be migrated to Office 365?
Management support what is the attitude to the cloud within the company and do we
have executive support?
Success Criteria how will you define success and how will you measure it?
Feedback - how are you going to capture feedback about the pilot?
The answers from the Lucerne Publishing team are set out below: Services - what Office 365
services do you want to Pilot?
Yes to SkyDrive
Yes to Yammer
Executive team of 50, spread all over the world, including the heads of the remote
headquarters.
Below them are 255 management level personnel, who work either here at HQ or in the
regional offices.
Around 1,600 employees, some at HQ, some in the regional offices, and a few working
from home occasionally.
Over 2,500 freelancers who work from home, but theyre not going to be part of this phase.
Devices what devices do users have and is there a bring-your-own-device policy in place?
Some of them are on iPads, some on Android tablets, a few more on Windows RT devices
and some with PCs.
Same BYOD policy for management, although they do tend to be more PC-based and more
static in terms of their locations.
Associates use whatever they want as long as it is compatible with the companys file
formats.
IT delivery - how does the company currently deliver IT and how is this service viewed and
managed?
Main corporate data center here in Switzerland. The company doesnt actually say where
its physically located, but they do have very good network connectivity from HQ. The
architecture is based on Microsofts private cloud design, although they havent fully
virtualized all the workloads yet.
Workloads what workloads does the company have that cant be migrated to Office 365?
The company has the following workloads that cannot be migrated at the moment.
Content management system (although that may migrate to SharePoint later) together with
its SQL Server database
Pilot users how many do there need to be and in which departments? 5% of users results in
around 100 pilot users. These users should be a representative sample from the departments,
but not include mission-critical users such as Helpdesk staff. Management support what is
the attitude to the cloud within the company and do we have executive support? The CEO does
not deal with that level of technical detail any more. However, the COO is keen to move the
project forward. Success Criteria how will you define success and how will you measure it?
Success will come from the pilot users. If they like the experience of using Office 365 and let
the company know, then the company will consider the pilot a success. How are you going to
capture feedback about the pilot?
The company already has a web-based feedback system setup. This internally-designed system
records and collates the information on the pilot.
