This document discusses various aspects of assessing and maintaining the health of a SharePoint implementation, including preventative care, palliative care, curative care, incident reporting, and health assessments. Preventative care involves proactive actions to prevent issues, palliative care focuses on addressing symptoms without the root cause, and curative care aims to solve underlying issues. Regular health assessments evaluate both technical and business aspects of the SharePoint deployment. Maintaining documentation of incidents and following a prescription or care plan are emphasized as important parts of ensuring a healthy SharePoint environment.

Enterprise search, once a hot topic, now faces new challenges with the adoption of hybrid and cloud environments. In SharePoint and Office 365, search isn’t equal, and before jumping on the Office 365 band wagon, organizations need to know as much as they can about potential challenges and pitfalls. Even in a SharePoint stand-alone environment, the consumption of content is forcing a renewed look at security, information lifecycle management, and non-compliance. Join us on Tuesday, October 28th, at 11:30am – 12:30pm EDT for this webinar packed with information on how to address search issues in SharePoint stand-alone, Office 365 hybrid, or cloud-only environments.
If you’re not sure how you would answer any of the below questions below, then this webinar is for you:.
• Does an enterprise search engine that provides the same transparency both on-premise and in the cloud matter to you? Does it matter to your users?
• With the huge push for Office 365, is enterprise search getting lost?
• Will the announcement of Delve push you over the edge in adopting Office 365? Why?
• What about managing content in the cloud? Do you have any reservations about security,or records, and what your users are doing in the cloud? (Bet you’ll be surprised.)
• What about migration? What goes where?
• How will you know what’s on your users’ OneDrives? Is DLP enough?
• Is your SharePoint search good enough? Have you calculated the ROI you can gain by improving it?
• How are you going to manage the ever increasing consumption of organizational content?

System Implementation
ABC health care centre is one of the top health care centres in San Francisco, California that provides medical assistance and health related knowledge to its patients. The health care centre has a total of 27 branches in the country with an overall staff of 350 doctors and 1000 other employees. The health centre excels in providing medical assistance to patients and has been ranked as number 1 health care centre in terms of services by the government organization. On an average, the health care centre serves a total of 5,500 patients in a single month throughout the country. The health care centre is experiencing a growth in its business recently and its manual methods of information storage are becoming obsolete and difficult to manage. Therefore, the management has realized that there is an urgent need to implement a digital system that can resolve the problems of the administration.
Data of the Health Care Centre
ABC health care centre has loads of data to take care of on regular basis. The list of information that is to be stored on the new system is given below:
· Patient details
· Patient medical history
· Appointments
· Inventory
· Financial management
· Human resource management
· Employee information
The new system
The new system appropriate for the ABC health care centre has been identified i.e. an ERP business suite along with a centralized data storage server. ERP business suites are software that integrate various operational modules in one software and manage all the working and operation of an organisation in it. The ERP business suite will help the health care centre to store all the information listed above using a single software. A centralized storage server, along with an ERP business suite, will allow the ABC health care centre to store all the information & data and will allow the employees to access the data from anywhere in the organisation after providing proper authentication on the server. (Stango, 2013)
The advantages of the chosen digital system to the health care system are:
· It will make creating, storage and accessing of data easier.
· It will save the health care organisation a lot of money as it will have to buy only one software to manage all its operation.
· ERP software are flexible and can be tailored according to the need of the company. This will allow the health care organisation to get a professionally developed software that will be in accordance of the health care’s needs.
· ERP software are highly user friendly. This will allow the company to reduce its overall cost of implementation as there will be no requirement for professional staff to operate the new system.
· ERP software are widely used because of their security measure that makes compromising of information and data impossible.
· The employees of the health care centre can undergo training, under hired professionals, to get introduced to the new syst ...

Metaverse & The Employee Experience: What You Need To KnowRichard Harbridge
Back in the day we would use 'who installed a browser' that wasn't the default as an 'indirect signal' that denoted a level of individual interest in improving their digital productivity or experience. Nowadays we are swimming in indirect signals - from who organizes the most meetings (named if you use Audit log etc) to dynamics around networking (Viva Insights) to who uses Teams Apps (another great indirect signal of expanding productivity/investing in digital experiences).
What still works best though is direct signals like comments, nominations, champion programs (yearly and NON MANAGER & NON IT focused) and more that help identify people and map them/amplify their visibility as potential super collaborators, those with high amounts of digital debt and those who would better benefit from greater digital fitness or digital experience investments.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

3. Why does this topic matter? We find the issues in SharePoint typically when SharePoint upgrades, new third party components, new solutions and significant changes are made to SharePoint. This results in high costs and greater delays than if many of those issues had been discovered earlier.
4. What we will be talking about… What is a SharePoint Prescription? SharePoint Preventative Care SharePoint Palliative Care SharePoint CurativeCare SharePoint Incident Reporting SharePoint Health Assessments
18. What is Preventative Care? Measures taken to prevent diseases (or injuries) rather than curing them or treating their symptoms. In SharePoint Terms? The pro-active actions you plan for, schedule and execute to mitigate or prevent issues from occurring in your SharePoint implementation.
30. What is Palliative Care? Any form of medical care or treatment that concentrates on reducing the severity of disease symptoms, rather than striving to halt, delay, or reverse progression of the disease itself. In SharePoint Terms? Targeting and fixing symptom like issues within your SharePoint implementation without targeting or solving the root cause.
31.
32. You are under artificial constraints that make the potential solutions for the underlying issue infeasible until a later time.
35. SharePoint Example A site collections content database is 60GB in total size. Preventative Action: Set alert to warn if the content database goes beyond 80GB in size and schedule reports on storage space and database growth. The content database grows quickly to 100GB in total size. The warnings have been sent out. Palliative care would be to either split the content database up or to adjust processes so that the content DB can continue to grow beyond 100GB.
36. The Outcome Symptoms of an underlying SharePoint issue are resolved to decrease the impact of the underlying SharePoint issue.
37. What to watch out for… When a symptom is treated it doesn’t cure the underlying issue.
39. What is CurativeCare? Actions that seek to cure the existing disease or medical condition. In SharePoint Terms? Solve the underlying issue/problem so that it no longer exists in your implementation.
44. Effort needs to be taken to determine an automated synchronization solution for the HR Employee Directory and Active Directory data or one of the systems for managing employee information should be retired so that it can be contained and managed from one source identity/profile. This is because some people are updating user profiles in SharePoint. Some are contacting help desk or HR to get their information updated when addresses or phone numbers change. There are several known challenges. When a user updates their information in SharePoint it does not update Active Directory resulting in updates to the contact information in Exchange. When Help Desk updates user information they do it in Active Directory. When HR updates user information they do it in the HR Employee Directory (Custom/Not Active Directory).
45. Do I Need To? Before you go through a medical procedure the doctor would explain the procedure and the risks, options and alternativesallowing the patient to make an informed decision about whether the risk was worth it. We must do the same with SharePoint solutions – the risk is theirs to take, not ours. Not if there are no known or identified issues.
46.
47.
48. What to watch out for… We cannot cure something if we don’t know enough about it.
49. Incident Reports An incident report or accident report is a form that is filled out in order to record details of an unusual event that occurs at the facility, such as an injury to a patient. The purpose of the incident report is to document the exact details of the occurrence while they are fresh in the minds of those who witnessed the event. In SharePoint Terms? If something unusual happens as a result of ‘preventative’, ‘curative’, or ‘palliative’ measures being taken it must be documented with as much detail as possible while it’s still fresh in the minds of those who were participants or effected. Note this is also important to perform assessments aftercurative care has been provided to better understand it’s impact.
52. When to Assess When not scheduled it’s still important to perform assessments after any “curative” action is performed. “It indicates that the prescriber takes responsibility for the clinical care of the system and in particular for monitoring efficacy and safety.” Additionally it may be best to perform one after significant palliative or preventative measures are taken.
53. Mental or Physical? Physical health without mental health is not ‘healthy’. In a SharePoint Implementation: Physical Health = Technical Health Mental Health = Business or Non-Technical Health If you have business or non-technical issues you may not have a healthy SharePoint implementation.
54.
55. What are we currentlyusing SharePoint for within our Enterprise?
56. What are the future uses for SharePoint within our Enterprise?
178. Look at the reports available in SharePoint Designer.
179.
180. If you are upgrading to SharePoint 2010 this is also important to understand as the default throttling limits may impact user experience.
181. SQL Scripts (Read Only) and API calls can help identify what lists you do have over the default throttle settings, and which have a larger lookup count.
182.
183.
184. Do you provide help material such as Manuals, Course Guidebooks, Workbooks, How To, Tutorials, or Demonstrations?
196. Do you have clearly defined SLAs for support and problem resolution?
197. Do you offer face to face learning or unstructured/semi-structured environments for learning? (Lunch and learns, after hours discussions, communities etc)Support Assessments
334. Are you automatically updating the sitemap (helps search engines crawl or discover pages on the site).
335.
336. Don’t expect a vendor to tell you that SharePoint has been implemented poorly. You should perform your own assessment based on your own environment, culture and challenges. This is a starting point.
344. The Diagnosis Diagnosis is used to help determine the causes of symptoms, mitigations for problems, and solutions to issues.
345. What to watch out for… “Prescription without Diagnosis is Malpractice.” “Prescription of a SharePoint Tool/Solution/Implementation without Diagnosis is Malpractice.” Please Share This!
346. What we talked about… The Plan of Care for SharePoint PreventativeCare is critical and cost effective. Palliative Care targets side effects and is expensive. Curative Care is difficult without clear diagnosis. Record and Learn from Results Assess Often, Target Assessments, Act on Results What is a SharePoint Prescription? SharePoint Preventative Care SharePoint Palliative Care SharePoint Curative Care SharePoint Incident Reporting SharePoint Health Assessments
The audience for these assessments shouldn’t always be a technical one. Often we get lost in delivering assessments to the caretakers without delivering to the real patient which is the business and business users themselves. In our example above we described Technology Experts as the caretakers of the organizations technology needs and health. Realistically though for assessments that deal with user adoption, governance, or organizational maturity we are dealing with something beyond the technology. We want to encourage behavior changes (for the better). What better way to do that than by also delivering to the business and business users as well as the caretakers?
