Editor's Notes
- We have a history of building great internet sites on SharePoint
- Whatโs in it for the audience?
- Devs? Admins? Using sp2013 for internet site? Public Facing Website on SharePoint?
- Truckload, Less-Than-Truckload, Intermodal 2500+ Employees, 15,000+ Contractors 30 Different Acquisitions
- Website only talked about one line of business Existing VB.NET codebase needed to be rewritten due to changes in data access โ now a central db. We wore many hats: Gather Requirements Business Process Consulting Technology Consulting Management Consulting We helped the business understand what they needed to communicate and accomplish.
- Over 500 pieces of content Many overlaps
- Graphical Menu
- Modern and easier to use- pick a valid date in fewer clicks, no popup issues.
- BOL is the most important business process. Has a complex form. Telerik Controls let us provide a better user experience. For example, Contextual Tips and masked fields. Custom Web Part gives us complete control of the UX.
- Navigation to individual companies, three approaches to integrating brands
- Three examples of old and new sites side by side, and how the new sites have a consistency that the old ones lack.
- SharePoint 2013 for Internet Web Part Development Solution Packages Authentication framework CMS Telerik SQL 2012 / Custom Database No more Internet license costs vs 2010 Development of Web Parts in parallel with site structure, branding, navigation Putting each app in its own solution package rather than one giant solution package made maintenance, upgrades easy Use of Telerik controls ASP.NET Ajax Controls (details later in the deck) Integrating OOTB FBA user management model with a rich user model (details later in the deck) Use of a custom SQL database because this is highly relational Line of Business data. SQL DB vs. Lists
- Decided to go with server side development. Made decision in June 2013. Initially wanted to go App Model Tried of couple of process / Took 3-4 time as long App Model is maturing / But not ready when we needed it
- External Users โ Extended Properties โ FBA Framework Much customization required.
- Back-End is SQL instead of using Lists - Integrate with AS/400 Pre-existing web services needed to be maintained. Active/Passive SQL Cluster had two SQL Instances, one for SP, one for the Roadrunner LOB data.
- At PSC, we use an iterative methodology in order to ensure successful delivery of our projects. The following diagram shows how the project scope is encompassed by an emphasis on constant communication relying on our focus on listening to our clients. Our methodology leverages strengths of various other methodologies including Agile and MSF in order to bring a solid foundation and the ability to adapt to client and project requirements as needed.
- One Internal, one Client status meeting every week, Mon + Thr My PSC โ SP2013 OneNote: Every Meeting, Every Application Yammer โ helped when team was spread out, WFH/Client/HQ/Loop
- % Exits - % of people that leave the site after visiting just the home page. That means 80% of users delve deeper into the site, up from 73%.
- Telerik
- Makes it easier to add mobile device experience later. Also lets business partners integrate with corporate systems
- BrowserStack.com
- For relational data, use SQL. For User Management, FBA Page Content Management vs Data Content Management
