MAKING CHOICESANDBUILDING A PLAN Just like when building a house we need to define our plan for the Intranet.We need to ensure the technology foundation of our Intranet is well planned.#ILTAG95

SHAREPOINT PROVIDES AGREATTECHNOLOGY FOUNDATION WHY? BestpracticesTheevidenceis all around us from awards to enterprise usage. 70% ofcorporate intranets are developed on the SharePoint platform.#ILTAG95

WHY INTRANETS ON SHAREPOINT?It’s a platform, an integrated suite, modern, mobile enabled, business centric,and maximizes the impact of your Intranet investments.#ILTAG95

WHY INTRANETS ON SHAREPOINT? Bundled Broad Suite Pre-Integrated Modern Rapid Innovation PlatformIt’s a platform, an integrated suite, modern, mobile enabled, business centric,and maximizes the impact of your Intranet investments.#ILTAG95

WHY INTRANETS ON SHAREPOINT?When it provides so much benefit it doesn’t come without some cost.#ILTAG95

WHY INTRANETS ON SHAREPOINT? Bundled Bloated Broad Suite Confusing Collection Pre-Integrated MSFT-centric Modern Under Construction Rapid Innovation Moving Target Platform You fill in the gapsThere are real challenges that come with building an Intranet on SharePointthat you should understand before you start.#ILTAG95

TIME TO VALUE & NAVIGATING CHANGE SharePoint makes iterative easier. Build Intranets in an iterative way todeliver value faster. Agility is critical when the platform is changing.#ILTAG95

HOW LONG SHOULD IT TAKE?We deliver more value in far less time today. It’s not unreasonable toexpect a new modern Intranet in weeks or months instead of years.#ILTAG95

HOW CAN WE KEEP UP AND MOVE FASTER?So Intranets can be built faster, iteratively, and deliver more value How do we achieve that ourselves?#ILTAG95

SHOULD IT BE ON SERVER OR ONLINE?Primary drive is cost and speed or time to value. In professional service costsalone it is typicaly 40% cheaper, not including hardware, maintenance and more. #ILTAG95

THE CLOUD ENABLESUS TO KEEP PACE WITHINDUSTRY TRENDS Continually improving experiences, continuous rollout of new capabilities,continued integration with more technologies, and much more #ILTAG95

GETTINGCLOSER TO THECLOUD WILLHELP It is more challenging to meet modern expectations on legacy technology.#ILTAG95

OPTIONS “Out-of-the-box” SharePoint / O365 Add-on “Ready to Go Intranet” Full CustomConfigureTailorExtendCustomOnce you determine the platform and where to run it you still need to considerbuild or buy options.#ILTAG95

WHAT ABOUT “READY TO GO” INTRANETS?Lists 26 productsThere has been an explosion of new offerings at the same time that Microsoftis extending its OOB Intranet capabilities.#ILTAG95

BUILD VS BUY CONSIDERATIONS OOTB( )Buy(IIAB)BuildDevelopment effortKeeps up with Microsoft InnovationsFeature Set Fit Exactly torequirementsCustomized to existing business processesEffort/Cost toconfigureTesting mpact on internal resources/otherprojectsAll options require work to integrate, configure, and roll out#ILTAG95

WHAT SYSTEMS DO YOU NEED TO INTEGRATE?Another very critical area of technology planning is determining what youwant to integrate, need to integrate, and how you will integrate.#ILTAG95

WE LIVE IN SILOS 36%of a typical knowledge worker’s day is spent looking for andconsolidating information spread across a variety of systems61%of knowledge workers regularly access 4or more systems to get the informationthey need to do their jobs15%regularly access 11 or more systemsAim to get critical mass – integrate the core systems that most people dependon into your Intranet, and then it will be an effective hub for getting work done.#ILTAG95

WHAT DOES INTEGRATION LOOK LIKE?Common Scenarios Display information from external systems in UI, such as web parts,application pages, etc. Client/Matter dashboards Allow users to interact with external data in SharePoint list format Crawl back-end data sources so they show up in search results Import external data into user profilesMake tandunderstandwhereneedwhichscenarios#ILTAG95

PLAN FORIMPLEMENTATION The information architecture and functional requirements are like our foundationand framing plan. We detail how things will be built and provide more detail.#ILTAG95

HOW SHOULD OUR INTRANET BE DESIGNED?Your Intranet design should be about improving how people work today.Making jobs easier, more productive, and more impactful.#ILTAG95

HOW WILL YOU MANAGE ACCESS?Mobility and access outside of the enterprise is a requirement today.#ILTAG95

HOW WILL YOU ENABLE MOBILITY?Your Intranet should be responsive by design, but you could also enable betterexperiences on mobile devices. Extending team or departmental engagement.#ILTAG95

HOW SHOULD USERSNAVIGATE?While mega menus and other innovations were implemented, navigationwas always structure based or managed. With special directory style pages.#ILTAG95

HOW SHOULD USERSNAVIGATE?While structured and managed navigation is still valid in today’s world, it is alsoimportant to improve navigation with powerful capabilities like search.#ILTAG95

HOW SHOULD USERS NAVIGATE?Office 365’s SharePoint home is now a more modern site directory experience.New features like activity roll ups, and quick follow/share options are the start.#ILTAG95

HOW SHOULD NEWS BE DESIGNED?When designing news, leadership or even events pages we can take advantageof new and improved authoring experiences. Team news can be complimentary.#ILTAG95

HOW SHOULD SOCIAL BE ENABLED?Targeted embedding of Yammer or your enterprise social platform in key partsof the Intranet, and digital workplace are provided by your org and MSFT.#ILTAG95

INTRANETS Capabilities like bookmarking, notifications, and more help you not onlystay up to date, but follow up when a better time is available.#ILTAG95

HOW DOES SEARCH FIT IN?Search box/resultsUnified search & discoveryExpertise findingDynamic content/dashboardsSearch-driven navigationApplication steeringDigital AssistantSearch isn’t just about looking for documents.#ILTAG95
