• Commitment by single authority or very
small group of individuals
• Make their project ―shine‖ to gain
credibility to move bigger
• Team or Department level commitment
• Work to find Top Down/Start Small Pet
Project to move up
• Work to generalize adoption to move
bigger
• Commitment usually based on global,
strategic needs.
• Unusual to have SharePoint defined as
strategically necessary by CEO
• Know your place. It’s usually not here.
• Must be some level of commitment by
the organization to enable system-wide
usage of SharePoint features
• Bear in mind- you have higher visibility
than you think
USE A PROVEN METHODOLOGY
• Should incorporate proven System Engineering
Principles
• Grounded in SharePoint Best Practices and real-world
successes
• Validate existing and new requirements
• Incorporates Customer Supported Discovery and
Reviews
VISUALIZE YOUR END GOAL
EXAMPLE : SEARCH CENTER
DON’T FORGET MOBILE!!
KNOW YOUR LICENSING
• Plethora of options
• Change monthly
• Make sure your organization is ready for the Cloud from
an AP perspective
– If CAPEX focused, you can pay by the year
– Microsoft and 3rd party vendors will take your money any way
you want to give it to them

DISCOVERY THAT DOESN’T SUCK
FIRST RULE IN DISCOVERY:
DON’T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS
Does your dog bite?
No? Ok… ouch!! I thought you said
your dog didn’t bite?!!
―That’s not my dog‖
EXISTING SYSTEMS AND DOCUMENTS
• Project Management Plan
• Process Improvement Plan
• File / Records Plan
• ECM Platforms and Governance Plans
• Collaboration Platforms
• Workflow / BPM Products
• BI products
• Executive Vision and Strategy (look around on the walls...)
• Other systems' governance plans
• Organizational Chart for your company/organization
• Any outside sources that have already been identified as integration needs
• List of applications/file types
• Employee Responsibility and Usage Policy
INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE DISCOVERY
Know Your Audience
– Create discovery templates for at least three audiences:
1. Stakeholders / Moneybelts
2. Business Managers and Users
3. Information Technologists
DISCOVERY – KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE
Executive Question: ―Is a shared understanding of the problem more
important than setting strategic goals?‖
Business User Question: ―Do you guys 'wing it' or do you have a
defined process?‖
Both questions drive discovery of the same design principle:
Do we have a defined strategy for building the
collaborative model?
40
INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE DISCOVERY
Culture
• Why?
– Any technology implementation that doesn’t align with corporate
culture will most likely FAIL.
INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE DISCOVERY
Culture
• How?
– What do you do for fun?
– How long have you worked here?
– What drives you crazy about your job?
– What do you love about your job?
INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE DISCOVERY
Collaboration & Communication Paths
• Why?
– Usability
– Governance
– Security
INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE DISCOVERY
Collaboration & Communication Paths
• How?
– What are your best sources of information outside of your team?
– By percentages, how much of your daily interaction is with: Your
Team or Department / The Entire Organization / Outside the
Organization
– Where is your team located?
INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE DISCOVERY
Processes and Enterprise Content Management
• Rarely can we separate the two
– Almost all content is tied to a process
– Map the process and you’ll know how to manage the content
COMPLIANCE USUALLY WINS 
Regardless of the impact to effective collaboration,
compliance usual over-rides common sense
– Oops, I meant to say priorities!

Governance
• Why?
– Confidentiality
– Service Levels
– Operational Efficiency
– Usability

INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE DISCOVERY
Governance
• How?
– Who authorizes access to content?
– How are processes patterned and managed?
– Do you have an SLA?
– Who will manage what?
– Is this policy enforceable?
(IF NOT – Throw it out!!)
STOP. THINK. DESIGN.
A good design:
– Provides a consistent way of doing business
– Aligns with the present state of your organization
– Plans for the future state of your organization
– Does not prevent workers from doing their job!

Key
Decisions
WELCOME TO OFFICE 365 ADMIN
INTERFACE
• You must be a global admin to provision many services
• Domains
• DNS Configuration
• Must be admin to manage other services
• BCS, SSS, Term Store, Infopath
• Apps, Search, User Profiles, One Drive for Biz
• An isolated SPO admin interface is coming… stay tuned
• Won’t include Domain and DNS config
SPSITE VS SPWEB
• SPSite = Site Collection
• SPWeb = Site / SubSite (SubWeb)
• SPSite administrator needs lots of training and you
must trust them
• SPWeb owner needs lots of training, but they are more
limited
• No Recycle Bin 2nd stage
• No Search Admin rights
• Theme limitations, publishing limitations
DEMO : SPSITE ADMIN VS SPWEB ADMIN
SITE CREATION IN OFFICE 365
• Who creates Site Collections?
• Often kept within SP Admin Team / IT / TS
• Who creates sites?
• Delegate Carefully
• Don’t over govern or they’ll find other routes…
i.e. DropBox, Google Docs
• What’s the process for requesting a site?
• What is the minimal level of training to be a site owner or
SCA?
EXAMPLE SITE CREATION PROCESS
Basic form is completed describing scope and purpose of site
request
1. User is directed to Learning Hub with instructions on
why/how/when/what – also includes current site map
2. Is a new site is still deemed necessary, then:
– What team is using the site?
– What name would you like?
– What is the purpose of the site and who will be the data owner?
EXAMPLE SITE CREATION PROCESS
(CONTINUED)
3. Do you require customization?
- Master Pages
- CSS
4. Request goes to SCA Admin(s)
- Does this or a similar site already exist?
- If so, work with requester to use existing site(s)
- Otherwise, approve requester’s form workflow
EXAMPLE SITE CREATION PROCESS
(CONTINUED)
5. Provision Site
- Define SCA secondary
- Define SPWeb Owner(s)
- Validate training for SCA and Site Owners
EXAMPLE SITE REQUEST FLOW
User
College
Lead
System
Office
Requester reads
documentation to
determine whether
new site is
necessary
Process
Complete
Contact appropriate College Lead (on-site
Technical Staff) from managed list. Provide details:
-The team that will be using the site
-The site’s name
-Purpose / use for the team site, brief description
-Custom specifications of site. Master page
settings, custom permissions, navigation, features
New site not required
Receives request. College
lead then searches
existing campus sites to
determine whether
similar site already exists
Contacts requester and
provides similar site’s
details along with site
owner’s contact
information
College lead will kick off
request for new site
creation via Nintex site
approval workflow. Lead
provides site details in
request.
Reviews request details.
If necessary, make
revisions to the request.
Approval kicks off the
Nintex site provisioning
workflow.
PROBLEM: REAL WORLD
• 17 Colleges, 2 SCAs, 10k employees, 110k students,
CIO support, but little college level support
• So, can we create 17 site collections in O365 – one for
each college?
• ….well, let’s see what happens when we do…
OPTION 1: EACH COLLEGE GETS ITS OWN
SPSITE
/sites/administrative
/actc /xla /xla
/eku /xla
/actc
/receivables
/xla
/payables /facilities /payroll /publicsafety
/eku
/registrar/admissions /distancelearning /library /studentaffairs
OPTION 2: FUNCTIONAL ARCHITECTURE
/sites/administrative
/executive /finance /hr
/it
/dean
/executive
/EKU
/qa
/ACTC /xla /xla /xla

/EKU/ACTC /xla /xla /xla
ORGANIZATIONAL VS. FUNCTIONAL
ORGANIZATIONAL
• Easy Security Inheritance
• Rich delegation possibilities
• Easy to find organizationally-
centric content
• Requires buy-in from
departments, divisions, colleges,
etc
• Does not adapt to org changes
• Challenging to centralize
processes
FUNCTIONAL
• Best architecture to re-engineer
processes and centrally locate
• Easily adapts to organizational
changes
• Challenging to administer roles
and security
• Easy to find functional content, i.e.
HR
• Creates search challenge in
finding organizational content
SHARING, APPS, AND QUOTAS
• Will you allow all apps?
– Who controls licensing?
• What are the quotas?
– Always changing sizes by Microsoft
• Will you allow external sharing?
– Authenticated
– Anonymous
– Draconian
USING SEARCH AND SOCIAL
TO BRIDGE THE GAP
OPTION 1: FEDERATED SEARCH
OPTION 2: SINGLE, ON-PREMISES SEARCH
CENTER
• Requires bi-directional hybrid design
• Requires solid SLA for on-premises Search Farm
• Requires crawl account and read permissions on each SPSite
• Requires Crawling Connector to Office 365
• Single Source of truth
• Better relevancy rankings on search results
• Just plain easier to get stuff done
• Lots of bandwidth at times to run
– - Be patient on the initial crawl! Microsoft throttles your crawling
SOCIAL GOVERNANCE AND INTEGRATION
Yammer makes newsfeeds easy to assist with bridging the gap
between on-premises and Office 365
Caution: ―who‖ will be the authoritative source for profile info?
Change Trusted My Site Hosts on-premises
Need to develop custom page to overcome Domain vs. Claims identify
(domainuser vs. . i:0#.f|membership|username@contoso.com

INTEGRATING ECM AND GOVERNANCE IN
OFFICE 365
ECM 101- THE NINE FUNDAMENTAL
QUESTIONS
1. Location
2. Authentication
3. Authorization
4. Integrity
5. Distribution
6. Filing (metadata)
7. Retrieval (Findability)
8. Retention
9. Archiving
CONTENT TYPE PRIMER – 6 THINGS
1. Name & Description
2. Template
3. Workflows
4. Information Management Policies
– Auditing
– Multi-stage Retention
5. Document Information Panel
6. Site Columns
COLUMNS REFRESHER FOR ECM
• Site Columns
– Reusable in lists and Libraries
• List Columns
– Usable in a single list or library
• Combined
– Metadata captured across multiple lists (site column)
– Metadata pertinent to a single list (list column)
– Full document metadata capture often requires both!
SO, WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME THIS?
An item (document) can now have three managed sources
for metadata:
– Enterprise Keywords
– Site Columns
– List Columns
And NOW, you may have one or all of these on premises AND
Office 365!

―GLOBAL‖ METADATA-BASED NAVIGATION
TWO MAJOR COMPONENTS OF ECM
GOVERNANCE
• Consider two distinct strategies
– ECM Framework
– Process/Site subcomponent of ECM
• Build the Enterprise Strategy and Governance FIRST
– Then rollout processes/sites one-by-one
ECM AND COLLABORATION OVERVIEW
• Can’t separate ECM and collaboration – it’s often the
same content
– Exceptions like Archive, EHR, etc.
• Don’t break what is working
• Team-centric solution currently, leave it alone!
• Use proposed architecture to ―wire‖ the team-bases
solutions to both the centralized ECM hubs and inter-
team collaboration model
FRAMEWORK FOR SUCCESS
Carve out space for the BFOC
– Advanced Governance in the enterprise tier
• i.e. Records Types published via MMS, additional service
applications, more lenient Web and Site restrictions
– Consider only basic ECM and Governance in Office 365
• i.e. in-place records management, no centralized content
types/records types, limited service applications, restrictive settings
and policies
• E-Discovery is a big win in Office 365 sites

However, we rarely use because it could be confused with 5LA, or “Five letter Acronym” – often used in government organizations)
  • 10. Top-Down (Business Executive Support) Bottom-Up (Business User or IT Driven) StartSmall StartBig Full Scope Projects Strategy alignment w/information architecture, governance, taxonomy, process management, ECM Records Management Small to Mid-size Projects Departmental/Division ECM Performance and Capacity Mgmt Collaboration & Social Enterprise Search Enterprise Content Management Migration & Upgrades Executive Pet Projects Process Improvement CMO / PMO Sales & Delivery Customer Onboarding ECM Migration Electronic Health Records / SOX Compliance • Commitment by single authority or very small group of individuals • Make their project ―shine‖ to gain credibility to move bigger • Team or Department level commitment • Work to find Top Down/Start Small Pet Project to move up • Work to generalize adoption to move bigger • Commitment usually based on global, strategic needs. • Unusual to have SharePoint defined as strategically necessary by CEO • Know your place.

  • 25. UNDERSTANDING THE STAKEHOLDERS Content Consumers Content Producers Content Managers/Owners • Identify the stakeholders • Group Stakeholders • Understand their needs as a group • Target each group for their respective stakeholder groupings. • People within each group often perform very similar tasks no matter the job
  • 27. THE 9 BLOCK ROCKS High 1 3 6 Medium 2 5 8 Low 4 7 9 Low Medium High Difficulty Higher the benefit; Lower the Difficulty; Higher the Priority. Priority Benefit

  • 34. OPTION - BRANDING • Branding Helps Drive User Adaption • Option includes Tier II Branding – 80 Hours • Functionality Customizations Include 1. Banner Image for site for visual impact 2. Custom character as link between pages 3. Content and images added to customized page layouts
  • 36. FIRST RULE IN DISCOVERY: DON’T MAKE ASSUMPTIONS Does your dog bite? No? Ok… ouch!! I thought you said your dog didn’t bite?!! ―That’s not my dog‖
  • 37. EXISTING SYSTEMS AND DOCUMENTS • Project Management Plan • Process Improvement Plan • File / Records Plan • ECM Platforms and Governance Plans • Collaboration Platforms • Workflow / BPM Products • BI products • Executive Vision and Strategy (look around on the walls...) • Other systems' governance plans • Organizational Chart for your company/organization • Any outside sources that have already been identified as integration needs • List of applications/file types • Employee Responsibility and Usage Policy
  • 38. INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE DISCOVERY Know Your Audience – Create discovery templates for at least three audiences: 1. Stakeholders / Moneybelts 2. Business Managers and Users 3. Information Technologists
  • 39. DISCOVERY – KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE Executive Question: ―Is a shared understanding of the problem more important than setting strategic goals?‖ Business User Question: ―Do you guys 'wing it' or do you have a defined process?‖ Both questions drive discovery of the same design principle: Do we have a defined strategy for building the collaborative model? 40
  • 40. INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE DISCOVERY Culture • Why? – Any technology implementation that doesn’t align with corporate culture will most likely FAIL.
  • 41. INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE DISCOVERY Culture • How? – What do you do for fun? – How long have you worked here? – What drives you crazy about your job? – What do you love about your job?
  • 42. INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE DISCOVERY Collaboration & Communication Paths • Why? – Usability – Governance – Security
  • 43. INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE DISCOVERY Collaboration & Communication Paths • How? – What are your best sources of information outside of your team? – By percentages, how much of your daily interaction is with: Your Team or Department / The Entire Organization / Outside the Organization – Where is your team located?
  • 44. INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE DISCOVERY Processes and Enterprise Content Management • Rarely can we separate the two – Almost all content is tied to a process – Map the process and you’ll know how to manage the content
  • 45. COMPLIANCE USUALLY WINS  Regardless of the impact to effective collaboration, compliance usual over-rides common sense – Oops, I meant to say priorities!
  • 46. PROCESS & ECM DISCOVERY STRATEGIC NEEDS REQUEST EXAMPLE Capex or Opex? Enter Priority and Approver Submit Request Route to Approver Approve/Deny Supplier Input Requestor Name Expense Type Amount Process Output Consumer Workflow History Approving Manager Approval List Item Finance Approve/Deny Notification Accounting
  • 47. INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE DISCOVERY Governance • Why? – Confidentiality – Service Levels – Operational Efficiency – Usability
  • 48. DON’T MAKE SIMPLE PROBLEMS COMPLEX Who What WhenWhere Why
  • 49. INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE DISCOVERY Governance • How? – Who authorizes access to content? – How are processes patterned and managed? – Do you have an SLA? – Who will manage what? – Is this policy enforceable? (IF NOT – Throw it out!!)
  • 50. STOP. THINK. DESIGN. A good design: – Provides a consistent way of doing business – Aligns with the present state of your organization – Plans for the future state of your organization – Does not prevent workers from doing their job!
  • 52. GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE Governance Committee eCIA Project Owner Business Critical Stakeholders ECM Lead BA Lead Critical Process Owners • New Server Farm (ConfigDB) • Disaster Recovery, Coop, and service level changes • Web application additions • Web application Policies additions or deletions • New Service Applications • 3rd Party Products • Custom Code • Records and Policy Changes • Any high level information architecture modifications • Site collection structure template changes • Track system enhancement requests Key Decisions
  • 53. WELCOME TO OFFICE 365 ADMIN INTERFACE • You must be a global admin to provision many services • Domains • DNS Configuration • Must be admin to manage other services • BCS, SSS, Term Store, Infopath • Apps, Search, User Profiles, One Drive for Biz • An isolated SPO admin interface is coming… stay tuned • Won’t include Domain and DNS config
  • 54. SPSITE VS SPWEB • SPSite = Site Collection • SPWeb = Site / SubSite (SubWeb) • SPSite administrator needs lots of training and you must trust them • SPWeb owner needs lots of training, but they are more limited • No Recycle Bin 2nd stage • No Search Admin rights • Theme limitations, publishing limitations
  • 55. DEMO : SPSITE ADMIN VS SPWEB ADMIN
  • 56. SITE CREATION IN OFFICE 365 • Who creates Site Collections? • Often kept within SP Admin Team / IT / TS • Who creates sites? • Delegate Carefully • Don’t over govern or they’ll find other routes… i.e. DropBox, Google Docs • What’s the process for requesting a site? • What is the minimal level of training to be a site owner or SCA?
  • 57. EXAMPLE SITE CREATION PROCESS Basic form is completed describing scope and purpose of site request 1. User is directed to Learning Hub with instructions on why/how/when/what – also includes current site map 2. Is a new site is still deemed necessary, then: – What team is using the site? – What name would you like? – What is the purpose of the site and who will be the data owner?
  • 58. EXAMPLE SITE CREATION PROCESS (CONTINUED) 3. Do you require customization? - Master Pages - CSS 4. Request goes to SCA Admin(s) - Does this or a similar site already exist? - If so, work with requester to use existing site(s) - Otherwise, approve requester’s form workflow
  • 59. EXAMPLE SITE CREATION PROCESS (CONTINUED) 5. Provision Site - Define SCA secondary - Define SPWeb Owner(s) - Validate training for SCA and Site Owners
  • 60. EXAMPLE SITE REQUEST FLOW User College Lead System Office Requester reads documentation to determine whether new site is necessary Process Complete Contact appropriate College Lead (on-site Technical Staff) from managed list. Provide details: -The team that will be using the site -The site’s name -Purpose / use for the team site, brief description -Custom specifications of site. Master page settings, custom permissions, navigation, features New site not required Receives request. College lead then searches existing campus sites to determine whether similar site already exists Contacts requester and provides similar site’s details along with site owner’s contact information College lead will kick off request for new site creation via Nintex site approval workflow. Lead provides site details in request. Reviews request details. If necessary, make revisions to the request. Approval kicks off the Nintex site provisioning workflow.
  • 61. PROBLEM: REAL WORLD • 17 Colleges, 2 SCAs, 10k employees, 110k students, CIO support, but little college level support • So, can we create 17 site collections in O365 – one for each college? • ….well, let’s see what happens when we do…
  • 62. OPTION 1: EACH COLLEGE GETS ITS OWN SPSITE /sites/administrative /actc /xla /xla /eku /xla /actc /receivables /xla /payables /facilities /payroll /publicsafety /eku /registrar/admissions /distancelearning /library /studentaffairs
  • 63. OPTION 2: FUNCTIONAL ARCHITECTURE /sites/administrative /executive /finance /hr /it /dean /executive /EKU /qa /ACTC /xla /xla /xla /it /EKU/ACTC /xla /xla /xla
  • 64. ORGANIZATIONAL VS. FUNCTIONAL ORGANIZATIONAL • Easy Security Inheritance • Rich delegation possibilities • Easy to find organizationally- centric content • Requires buy-in from departments, divisions, colleges, etc • Does not adapt to org changes • Challenging to centralize processes FUNCTIONAL • Best architecture to re-engineer processes and centrally locate • Easily adapts to organizational changes • Challenging to administer roles and security • Easy to find functional content, i.e. HR • Creates search challenge in finding organizational content
  • 65. SHARING, APPS, AND QUOTAS • Will you allow all apps? – Who controls licensing? • What are the quotas? – Always changing sizes by Microsoft • Will you allow external sharing? – Authenticated – Anonymous – Draconian
  • 66. USING SEARCH AND SOCIAL TO BRIDGE THE GAP
  • 68. OPTION 2: SINGLE, ON-PREMISES SEARCH CENTER • Requires bi-directional hybrid design • Requires solid SLA for on-premises Search Farm • Requires crawl account and read permissions on each SPSite • Requires Crawling Connector to Office 365 • Single Source of truth • Better relevancy rankings on search results • Just plain easier to get stuff done • Lots of bandwidth at times to run – - Be patient on the initial crawl! Microsoft throttles your crawling
  • 69. SOCIAL GOVERNANCE AND INTEGRATION Yammer makes newsfeeds easy to assist with bridging the gap between on-premises and Office 365 Caution: ―who‖ will be the authoritative source for profile info? Change Trusted My Site Hosts on-premises Need to develop custom page to overcome Domain vs. Claims identify (domainuser vs. . i:0#.f|membership|[email protected] ** HTTP://BLOGS.MSDN.COM/B/JVASIL/ARCHIVE/2013/12/04/USING-AN-OFFICE-365-SHAREPOINT-ONLINE-HYBRID- MYSITE-SOLUTION.ASPX
  • 70. INTEGRATING ECM AND GOVERNANCE IN OFFICE 365
  • 71. ECM 101- THE NINE FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS 1. Location 2. Authentication 3. Authorization 4. Integrity 5. Distribution 6. Filing (metadata) 7. Retrieval (Findability) 8. Retention 9. Archiving
  • 72. CONTENT TYPE PRIMER – 6 THINGS 1. Name & Description 2. Template 3. Workflows 4. Information Management Policies – Auditing – Multi-stage Retention 5. Document Information Panel 6. Site Columns
  • 73. COLUMNS REFRESHER FOR ECM • Site Columns – Reusable in lists and Libraries • List Columns – Usable in a single list or library • Combined – Metadata captured across multiple lists (site column) – Metadata pertinent to a single list (list column) – Full document metadata capture often requires both!
  • 74. SO, WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME THIS? An item (document) can now have three managed sources for metadata: – Enterprise Keywords – Site Columns – List Columns And NOW, you may have one or all of these on premises AND Office 365!
  • 76. MANAGED METADATA GOVERNANCE Sub-sites Service Application Administrator Term Store Administrator Group Manager - Add Users - ContributeTop Level Site Metadata Service Term Store Term Set(s) Term(s) Group(s) Content Type Hub

  • 79. TWO MAJOR COMPONENTS OF ECM GOVERNANCE • Consider two distinct strategies – ECM Framework – Process/Site subcomponent of ECM • Build the Enterprise Strategy and Governance FIRST – Then rollout processes/sites one-by-one
  • 80. ECM AND COLLABORATION OVERVIEW • Can’t separate ECM and collaboration – it’s often the same content – Exceptions like Archive, EHR, etc. • Don’t break what is working • Team-centric solution currently, leave it alone! • Use proposed architecture to ―wire‖ the team-bases solutions to both the centralized ECM hubs and inter- team collaboration model
  • 81. FRAMEWORK FOR SUCCESS Carve out space for the BFOC – Advanced Governance in the enterprise tier • i.e. Records Types published via MMS, additional service applications, more lenient Web and Site restrictions – Consider only basic ECM and Governance in Office 365 • i.e. in-place records management, no centralized content types/records types, limited service applications, restrictive settings and policies • E-Discovery is a big win in Office 365 sites
