Editor's Notes
- #3 Start: 1:00 Duration: 1:45 First, let me introduce myself My name is Simon I live in Sherbrooke, Canada and I work for SherWeb. SherWeb a world renown cloud services provider We started back in the 90’s as a web hoster, But rapidly got into the business application hosting with a big focus Microsoft productivity suite And finally got awarded Microsoft worldwide partner of the year at the last summer WPC So we are highly qualified and experienced with Exchange, SharePoint, Lync, hyper-v hosting challenges. More personally, I hold a Master degree in Marketing Science, so my background is more business than IT, But as you can see, I have been evolving in the IT space for more than 8 years And I can tell you without a doubt that understanding how market trends like cloud, social, mobile and big data are influencing organisational changes in todays companies is as important as understanding the technology itself for those who seeks to build effective IT strategies and make the right decisions when it comes to cloud opportunities. I am interested in everything that touches both SharePoint and the cloud looking for the next big innovation to build the product roadmap, or just to know what people do to generate value So don’t hesitate to add me on twitter or LinkedIn and reach out to me for a chat after the session. Now that we are done with the introductions, let’s jump right into it
- #4 Start: 2:45 Duration: 1:30 So in todays session, I will start by introducing the subject with some revealing numbers about SharePoint actual deployments and future cloud strategies. We will then explore all possible hosting scenarios available to an organisation planning an upgrade or a migration and provide a simple and high-level decision framework for choosing the right model. I also cover the impacts of each choice on various critical topic like infrastructure, human resources, development, upgrades, compliance and more. We will continue by looking at services surrounding the cloud offering these days because we will see that these services might be as important as the hosting itself for some organisation. So amounts other things we will expose the different component of an SLA and highlight some key concept you might want to read before making a move. And finally, I well explain the various licensing options you have when moving to the cloud for SharePoint. For this, I included a revealing cost analysis for 3 scenarios with different licensing models.
- #6 Start: 3:00 Duration: 3:45 If you are interested in the cloud, you must be looking to improve at least one of the following elements of your IT department. So first, fastraking and simplifying your SharePoint related projects. Is it me or is in today’s reality, every project is starting with 3 to 6 months delays already. It seems like everyone wants everything for yesterday. You probably want to go faster. Which ever solution you are choosing, there is a good chance that your cloud service provider have more experience with SharePoint upgrades and migrations than you own team, so it will undoubtedly accelerate the process. You might also want to reduce your capital expenditure and trade it for a operational expenditure model, to control cost. Cause we all know how large IT project can get out of control with cost overrun. There is also the finance concept of capital fast depreciation, and this trend is even more dominant in the IT sector because it has the biggest depreciation rate than any other sector. With an aging population and the fast technology evolution, finding and retaining SharePoint expertise is certainly one of todays IT department biggest challenge for maintaining a SharePoint environments. Organizations with sensitive data might be looking for of site backup or replication to ensure business continuity in case of a disaster. Except for very large firms, hosting SharePoint in the cloud will most probably increase its availability simply due to the top-of-the line infrastructure most providers is able to deploy with large scale economies. But we will see further in this presentation that availability is also a results of expertise and specifically when it comes to SharePoint. Scalability is also a great yet very general value of the cloud, almost a given nowadays. Anyone can see this value of the cloud as opposed to an on-premises deployment where you need to plan a lot more for hardware consideration. I think it has an even bigger value when looking specifically at SharePoint. SharePoint projects are always in separate phases. Some want to start with few users and onboard employees. Others want to start with everyone but have a plan to add use cases over several months and years. For instance, make an intranet with collaborative site in the first 6 month, document management in a year and extranet year two. And finally, we all know that mobility of the work force is a big issue that organisations need to address right now. We might ask how would the cloud address that. Well, simply by allowing you to have an internet facing intranet or extranet. So with a tablet or mobile, there connectivity experience at home or on the road is a lot more enhance than with the VPN connection required to connect to you local network. So again really high level opportunities, but a good summary that will hopefully help you sell the idea to the upper management.
- #7 Start: 6:45 Duration: 0:00 So now lets look at the concerns or challenges that cloud consideration brought up. I decided to show you this graph from the 2012 Global KPMG survey because except the fact comfort increased a little since then, the priority concerns havent really changed. The first one is related to the lost of control. Related to ownership of the data. What will be my exit strategy. Will the provider have to right to sniff my data for information about my company? These are all valuable questions. But I also think that first element is tightly related to the second one, which refer the integration concept. Business are concern about the integration possibilities of a 3rd party managed platform 3rd most important challenge, is about the data loss and privacy risks. Not a surprise when we think about all the recent news or should I say scandal related to gouvernament agencies spying on there citizens. We can observe that these top 3 are significantly more important from the others but before moving on, I would like to direct your attention to the 4th one which put some lights on an important subject that is affecting cloud providers reputation and I will try to give you good tips on how to evaluate that later on in this presentation.
- #8 Here are some interesting numbers comparing actual and future intention in regards to SharePoint deployment strategies. Both studies where conducted by Osman reaseach with one year interval. On the left are the results of 2012 survey and on the right are the 2013 survey result. First, most dominant observation is the rapid reduction of on-premises deployment. Respondant Average of 1000 employee, in SharePoint Conference in las vegas March, a lot of pool on this subject was conducting in session and I can tell you that in large organisation on-premises is more than 56%. My second observation would be the difference between the high 18% intention to move to a public cloud, and the 2013 low 12% result after a year as opposed to the difference between the low 14% intention to move to the private cloud and the 2013 36% result of privte cloud deployment. I explain this as the level of complexity and customisation SharePoint project require. Most organisation, before doing any deep analysis wants to move to a shared platform like Office365, but when confronted to le limitation decide to deploy in a private cloud environment. We will dig deeper into these considerations later on. Finally, you most probably realised that the Hybrid option has been removed from the options in the 2013 survey. It must after the differences, but it was a redundant option so it needed to be removed.
- #9 I also wanted to show you these results you probably already saw on the SharePoint Community web site that I found interesting. It support the idea we just talked about when you see that the vast majority, 67%, think that even in 10 years there will still be at least 25% of deployment on-premises. But I wouldn’t have ask the question like this because I am amongst the one who thinks most SharePoint deployment will be in the cloud, but I think there will be a fair split between dedicated deployment in Infrastructure services like azure, amazon web services and other providers like SherWeb, platform as a service, where you have a managed but dedicated SharePoint instance and software as a service like Office365.
