Citation preview
What is Office 365?
SharePoint Online Exchange Online Lync Online
Another option for implementing functionality for an organization: On-premise – Traditional servers in your
environment Hosted – Servers hosted and managed off-site ‘In the cloud’ <- Office 365
SharePoint Online
The Current Platform – BPOS Based on the 2007 platform Feature parity similar to WSS 3.0 Pretty weak…
The NEW Platform – Office 365 Based on the 2010 platform ‘Small Business’ similar to Foundation 2010 ‘Enterprise’ similar to Server 2010
General Features
SharePoint sites, webs, lists and general functionality
Same security functionality NO BCS at release, but on the roadmap *Simple* public-facing site – Not
SharePoint
SharePoint Online
Small Business Plan
Up to 25 users Single site collection Great and inexpensive option for small
companies that need a web presence with quality email/calendaring options and flexibility for growth
I’m going to have a case study blog post or short series for a small business very soon
Small Business Plan
A great option for someone that wants to learn the basics of SharePoint. Most functionality is very similar or exactly the same as what a user would see on a team site in their organization.
Use it for self training or tinkering
Use it for a family site
Enterprise Plan
Another option for small to medium or large organizations
Multiple site collections My Sites *Some* Enterprise features Some plans include Office 2010
Professional Plus
Public-Facing Site
Intended to be a simple public-facing solution, not a public-facing SharePoint site
It’s *kind of* SharePoint-ish… Pages are stored in a document library,
but it’s not the same as a SharePoint page
OOB themes, layouts, colors, etc… May or may not be able to edit with
SharePoint Designer
Launch – Next Week!
