content
Defined in HTML
Huge potential for
search
36. Slide Title
Enterprise search: cautions and what's missing
Search requires significant infrastructure to work
(poor setup kills performance)
The skill sets required in configuring and
optimising search are not prevalent in the
corporate environment
If your content is poor, search isn't going to fix it
38. Slide Title Points for SharePoint 2013
Decision
SharePoint 2013 is pretty stable
It’s had significant testing on Office365 already.
Planning to move to SP2010 from SP2007?
Reconsider.
In the middle of moving?
Do a gap analysis on business needs and features.
39. Slide Title Points
Decision
• SP2013: Significant social tools and features
Social • SP2010: Look for third party products to address gaps
• SP2013: FAST Search part of product, new features
Search • SP2010: Powerful, FAST can be cumbersome
• SP2013: Mobile capabilities baked in
Mobility • SP2010: Significant investment required

Editor's Notes
Provide a broad level overview of what is new in SharePoint 2013There is a lot of cover but we will concentrate on those items that of particular interest in an Intranet scenarioWe cant cover everything but we can certainly do more webinarsAnswer your questionsThere will be time at the end to answer questionsStart a conversationWe want to hear your thoughts so that we can have future webinarsProvide an overview of what’s new in SP2013Start a conversationAnswer your questionsProvide you with a pragmatic, unbiased view
As a awarmup, here’s one of four poll questions we’ll be asking today, which version of SharePoint is your organisationmostly using:20032007 (MOSS)20102013Don’t knowWe’re not using it at all yet.
We want to make content authoring as easy as possible to encourage better contentMany users will use word to author content, some even send their content acrossCopy content from Word and have the semantically correct HTML markup appliedNo more crazy styles being injected inGreat for content authorsContent Mangement System 101
Provide the ability to crop image and control image height and widthYou don’t have to use other photo editing tools have to upload multiple images if you are using a thumbnail of an existing oneEasy interface that you can use and will help content authors Can pre-define rendition sizesGreat for intranets when you have a thumbnail can reuse the imageGreat for mobile contentReuse the same image in a mobile scenario
Simple and powerful is what it was called in SPC and I agreeHuge improvements which we will showPlay across multiple devices and browsers since its now based on HTML 5Videos are actually first class citizen and you can tag people and contentHowever in terms of a storage and infrastructure perspective you still have to be careful
This was one of the biggest issues in previous versions was the inability to embed external contentWe had many clients that wanted to embed youtube videos for training in page but they had to get third party componentsWell now you can easily and also control which domains people access
With Microsoft and the world changing rapidly and moving towards mobile devices something had to give with SharePointHeavy investment for mobile because of WP8 and microsofts previous gaps in this are
Only available for Publishing SitesUse channels to force specific rendering of to appear on specific devicesThis gives you a way to create SharePoint sites that look different depending on form factorsAllows you to have a SharePoint site appear in a different format depending on the form factor
M$ has recently stepped up the game and is now allowing developers to be able to interact with data stored in SharePoint easilyA product of this is the new App Model but also an emphasis on Mobile developmentSo much so that there is a default Visual Studio Template available to accommodate thisBut it is now possible to consume data from outside of SP much easierMy advice is that mobile apps are the way to go for Intranets simply because you can take a task driven approachThis is now possible and you can easily build an
Out of the box there is better support for mobile devices with three distinct modesCan be enabled or disabled by Site AdminsEnabled by Default for: team site, blank site, document center and project site templates
For the social capabilities that we will demonstrate latter there is a series of mobile apps that are being developedFor me the capability to use the social features of sahrepoint in a mobile scenario is a great enabler of providing value to organziationsIt is currently available on WP8 for download and well worth checking out
You still need development skills to make this work but at least the tools are there now which is great
This is one of the big areas of improvement and it was much maligned in previous versionsWhat is interesting is that with the purchase of Yammer the future of social in SharePoint is under review
So let’s have a vote here, which Social tool are you using in your organisation?Basic SharePoint featuresYammerSharePoint + NewsgatorJiveOther
First thing we have is a completely new newsfeed areaDifference between this one and SP2010 is the new tags, mentions and embedding of content capabilities that are availableAnother thing is also the ability to see people or content your are following, or everyone or mentions (this was not available in SP2010 since you could only see people that you follow)All conversations are searchable that become a great source of corporate knowledge throughout the organization
In SP2010 you could only follow people so that you would see their activity in your activity feedSP2013 builds on this and allows you to people, docs, sites and tagsPeople: See peoples activities including status updates, conversations and so forthDocs: See updates to documents that you follow. Great way to keep track of content in one locationSites: IF newsfeed capability is turned on then you can post to this, also see the site directoryTags: Keep track of tagged conversations, you don’t have to be following people to be see the conversation. Great way to discover new people
In previous versions task lists where confined to where they were created, you couldn’t see a list of tasks across all the sites/lists that had them assigned to youNow you have a centralized task list that you can manage Great timeline feature lets you organize itemsIt can be really powerful especially if combined with the new PM management capabilities
Great way for Intranet Content Managers to promote sites to usersGreat way for users to keep track of their own sitesSP will also suggest sites
People still need to take content offline and work in a O365 will give you 7GB per person on premise you can go nutsEssentially and Offlining mechanism for SP2013Workspace is gone, skydrive pro is the new way to sync stuff
I have always been a fan of search in SharePoint but now there are significant improvements, tons of improvementsNo more fast search, its all SharePoint search now which is really compelling for organizations especially if you have made an investment in fastProvides lots of WCM capabilities but we wont be covering theseOfffice web applications provides the ability to
