whenever possible — We designed the new
SharePoint UI to be clean, simple and fast and
work great out-of-box. We encourage you not
to modify it which could add complexity,
performance and upgradeability…"
Microsoft – The SharePoint Team, July, 2012

36. UI independence from SilverLight
• No more dependencies on SilverLight to create sites or lists

37. Apps store
• The new custom apps concept makes SharePoint
customization a lot easier (but still very rudimentary)

38. Excel power pivot – Project reporting

39. Using App in the browser

40. Enhanced mobile experience
• Better (though not ideal), and option for Desktop view

41. Improved ‘Cloud’ experience: OneDrive

42. Social SharePoint Intranet Suite
Complete SharePoint 2013 Social Portal with full portal, search
and content management for as little as $2 per user, per month

43. More Pros
• Enhanced authorization and authentication
• Search improvements - most notable the ability to manage
search from within the site collection as opposed to central
admin
• Community sites for OOB social site deployment
• OneDrive Pro allows for cloud storage and synchronization
• Cross farm content publishing
• IDEAL: small company of 100-5000 needing a collaboration
based portal in a .NET environment
43

44. Cons
• Branding functionality is still cumbersome to utilize
• Site level retention policies - not a great advantage but
good to have
• Newsfeed is a good addition but has so many issues
and limitations
• BCS data is very complicated to get it working
• Apps infrastructure is very clunky and in some cases
unrealistic to implement
• Apps are very primitive and somewhat rudimentary -
only iframes, too isolated
44

45. More Cons
• Cannot be deployed to a small environment with its full
capabilities - need separate OWA server, separate
workflow server
• The new Access DB templates (apps) are useless at his
stage , you better off using light switch
• Cross-sites and site collections integration and list
linking is still no near where it should be
• CAUTION: Potential for unmanaged proliferation without
careful planning & governance; not a large enterprise
solution unto itself
45

46. Total Cost (TCO)
• Understanding SharePoint solutions cost
structure:
 Software licensing only accounts for 7%
 Hardware, consultancy & training, a further 33%
 Customization & Staffing cost is 60%
 SharePoint is typically implemented as a
platform, not as a product, dramatically
increasing customization costs and TCO
