Getting Office 365 (or BPOS) Dedicated Evaluation Criteria

• Do you have less than 5000 people?

Not for you.

Page 25: SPTechCon Boston 2012 - SharePoint In The Cloud

#SPTechCon @RHarbridge

But You Still Want Dedicated?

• SPLA (Server Provider License Agreement) – Means hosting companies can offer competitive ‘dedicated’ hosting scenarios at lower costs.

This is for you.

Preparing for SharePoint in the Cloud• Read the providers service description, policies, and agreements.• Plan people and group permissions.• Develop a content management strategy - assess/delete/archive.• Consider onboarding in phases and plan how these phases will be executed.

Planning Activities

• Consider how end-users will discover sites and find content.• Define an effective SharePoint Information Architecture.

Example: Single site collection? Or multiple aligned with various business units?• Determine the look and feel for site templates, document libraries, navigation and

your SharePoint Cloud implementation.

Site Design

• Select an individual to be the primary SharePoint Cloud Administrator.• Define a backup SharePoint Cloud Administrator.• Plan for unique site collection owners (within various business units).• Individual sites can be owned at lower levels.

Delegated Administration

• Refactor solutions for Sandbox, and retire if met by out-of-the-box configuration.• Establish development/test environments that mimic the cloud environment.• Read the SharePoint Online for Office 365 Developer Guide (http://

msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh147180.aspx)

Prepare for the Sandbox

BPOS to Office 365?

http://www.microsoft.com/online/transition-center.aspx

Microsoft is responsible for any changes that happen in its datacenters. Customers will not have to migrate any data; however, customers will be responsible for making sure that their client software is compliant with the system requirements. See Office 365 system requirements download.microsoft.com/download/A/6/4/A6479925-C7D2-4C4C-A21B-48BCCF8887A9/FAQ_EN_101010.docx.

Customers will also be responsible for end-user training and configuring any new features and capabilities that will be delivered by Office 365.

1. Customers will not have to migrate any data.

2. You need to have SharePoint 2010 compatible client software/systems.

3. You have to train users on the new 2010 interface.

SecurityCan be an issue, but most of the time is not.

The real issue is lack of standards and accountability…

If it’s a bigger and more respectable hosting provider expect a better level of accountability and security planning/activity.

Support Is Important

As an example Microsoft provides 24/7 support.Google also provides 24/7 support.

However Google Apps has a rule where only system critical events that affect more than 50% of users can use their phone support.

Don’t forget that with all cloud based providers – you are also adding another layer between IT and the business users.

Example Issue: Can a you put a stop to a providers maintenance schedule so that a business team can finish a critical deliverable without interruption?

#SPTechCon @RHarbridge

Termination/Suspension of Service

Page 59: SPTechCon Boston 2012 - SharePoint In The Cloud

• Since the startup costs are lower organizations can run the risk of not doing enough planning.

• Migrating content can be extremely difficult depending on what options are provided by the ‘cloud provider’.
