MICROSOFT 365 STRATEGY & SUCCESS: PRACTICAL TOOLS & TECHNIQUES FOR THE STRATE...Richard Harbridge
People are complex. Office 365 is complex. Add the two together and you get some of the most challenging, difficult, and stressful situations, especially if you are responsible for facilitating shared understanding between them. Join Richard Harbridge to learn about actionable techniques to improve, simplify and amplify your leadership, business analysis and information architecture efforts with Office 365. Walk away with improved confidence when dealing with business and non-technical related challenges of Office 365, and be familiarized with effective tools and techniques that make Office 365 implementations more successful.

KEY PATTERNS & GOVERNANCE
TACKLING SPRAWL EFFECTIVELY
Pro-Active Planning (Estimates & Roadmaps)
PRO-ACTIVE ADOPTION & EXCELLENCE
VISUALIZING & COMMUNICATING BETTER
Q&A / Next Steps
It is well known that with the release of SharePoint 2013, Microsoft is shifting its recommended method for customizing and building applications to a client side “App Model” development paradigm.
This has caused many organizations to invest large amounts of time and energy in rewriting solutions or to stop customizing SharePoint and building solutions altogether.
In this session we will cover:
- The current limitations with developing enterprise solutions using the App Model and only client side technologies
- The key decision points when architecting your solutions
- How to determine when the App Model approach is the right solution for your project, when it may NOT be the right solution.
- How to architect and deliver full trust solutions in a way that will allow you to convert your solution and move to the cloud in a seamless and low impact way.
Navigating the Inner and Outer Loops--Effective Office 365 CommunicationsChristian Buckley
Presentation from SharePoint Conference North America (#SPC18) presented in Las Vegas on 5-21-18, addressing the "which tool to use and when?" question, and the soft-skills issues at the root of the problem for most orgnizations.
While Office365 continues to grow at a rapid rate, adoption beyond Exchange can be slow without a strategy in place. This presentation discusses: a "go to market" strategy for a successful Office 365 deployment; productivity features that will enhance adoption; strategies for keeping end users engaged; how to track usage and activity so you can measure your success; and touches on many of the productivity features (Groups, Delve, Yammer, co-editing, etc). The primary focus, however, is on the management/ongoing educational aspects of a successful deployment.

The People Model and Cloud Transformation | AWS Public Sector Summit 2016Amazon Web Services
A successful cloud transformation journey incorporates the three pillars of transformation: people, process, and technology. While leveraging the technology, the people component drives transformations. But far too often, cloud transformation efforts concentrate on the process improvement strategies and technology implementation, while essentially ignoring the human aspect of the change initiative and the opportunity to develop a more agile, DevOps culture. Many leaders who look back on previous change initiatives reflect that process and technology were simple to change compared to the people part of the organization. A central perspective within the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework, the "people perspective," guides organizations about aspects that affect people to reduce the risk and accelerate the value realization from cloud adoption. This session covers best-practice methods that enable customers to address challenges in setting up the right organizational structure to manage cloud operations, roles and job responsibilities during transition and post-cloud adoption, assessing gaps in skills and competencies required, building effective training models, and shaping a DevOps culture.
Cloud Technology Partners’ (a premier consulting partner and part of APN) practice leader Robert Christiansen provides an overview of why Financial Services organizations are looking to migrate to the cloud and the kinds of benefits current adopters are realizing. In this presentation, he outlines best practices, which include alignment workshops, decision-making processes, cloud business office, inclusive business case, dependency discovery, solutions iterations, security assessments, continuous governance, automation and validation, and preparation for migration at scale.

SharePoint 2016 Migration Success Takes Three StepsAdam Levithan
Your successful migration to SharePoint 2016 takes three actions: analysis, optimization and planning.
It also takes a lot of questions that require answers. What do you have? What do you move? What do you archive? What problems might occur? What do users expect? From identifying content sprawl, deciding what to archive, understanding potential security risks, ending performance issues and creating an environment that meets end-user expectations, requires many questions that need good answers.
In this session, you’ll learn what to ask and how to find answers: Understand your current environment

Accurately plan your migration
Reduce risk in your SharePoint migration
SharePoint migrations rarely turn out as you plan them. They are sometimes risky and too often take longer than planned. Over the last 10 years of migrating from SharePoint 2003, 2007, 2010 to the latest versions of SharePoint/Office 365 we’ve seen a consistent theme -- organizations underestimate the complexity and level of effort required for a successful, smooth migration.
Whether you are planning to complete your own migration, or engaging a vendor to assist, this webinar will discuss precautions you can take to avoid the slippery slope experienced in SharePoint migrations.

- Review methodologies for moving content from one environment to the next
- Outline precautions you should take in migrating to either SharePoint 2013 on-premise or online
Migrating from a SharePoint On Premise solution or other Content Management System to SharePoint Online can be quite time consuming if done by hand. There are several other methods for performing this migration, including a script based migration, developing your own migration solution with C# or using third party tools. In this session Randy will talk about defining a SharePoint Online strategy and methods for migrating data to SharePoint Online.

SharePoint Migration - To Be Or Not To Be ‘In The Cloud’ Adam Levithan
With Microsoft's release of SharePoint 2013 and Office 365, organizations are still unsure which direction to turn when faced with a migration decision. Is the cloud the right fit for my organization? Is traditional, on-premise the best bet? How about the hybrid approach?
The fervor that existed in organizations to migrate quickly from SharePoint 2003 to 2007, and 2007 to 2010 has not been repeated for SharePoint 2013. While there are significant technological and user-focused advances in SharePoint 2013, it has faced rapid changes in the expectations of organizations to implement digital workplaces that its predecessors did not experience. These changes include the confusion and competition between Office 365, Yammer and other systems being introduced as options, even when hosting options have already been chosen.
Join us as we discuss the pros and cons of SharePoint in the cloud, on-premise and hybrid. This webinar will help you better understand the available options and how they fit in creating a real-time, digital workplace within your organization.
•The benefits of each migration option, Office 365, on-premise and hybrid
•Top reasons for moving to the cloud
•The cost of migration alternatives (on-Premise, Hosted, Office 365)
•How to build a value statement for your migration
The Slippery Slope of Migrating to SharePoint Online or On-PremiseAdam Levithan
SharePoint migrations rarely turn out as you plan them, are sometimes risky, and too often take longer than planned. Over the last 10 years of migrating from SharePoint 2003, 2007, 2010 to the latest versions of SharePoint/Office 365, we’ve seen a consistent theme: organizations underestimate the complexity and level of effort required for a successful migration.
Whether you are planning to complete your own migration, or engaging a vendor to assist, this tutorial will discuss precautions you can take to avoid the slippery slope experienced in SharePoint migrations.
During this tutorial, we will:
•Evaluate options of moving content from various systems of origin (including previous versions of SharePoint and non-Microsoft CMS)
•Go through the assessment steps to understand the full landscape of your existing environment
•Review methodologies for moving content from one environment to the next
•Review a check list of precautions you should take in migrating to either SharePoint 2013 on-premise or online
•Create a migration strategy you can take back to your organization

It's always been a dilemma -- do you invest in servers, licenses and people to set up and maintain a fully controllable SharePoint infrastructure in-house, or is it time to explore hosting SharePoint off-premise? Legal IT professionals have been struggling with this decision for years.
The on-premise option offers peace of mind from a security and controllability standpoint, but comes saddled with high costs, a demand for resources and limited scalability. SharePoint Online, on the other hand, alleviates the burden associated with SharePoint on-premise by removing the need for servers, software licenses and personnel, and can be rolled out to a large pool of people virtually overnight. However, you'll still need support for integration projects. Join us as we discuss the pros and cons of each option and give you recommendations based on our experiences, deployments and feedback.

Practical Tips for Migrating SharePoint Customizations to Office 365Haniel Croitoru
When planning a migration of SharePoint on-premises environment to Office 365, the first thing that comes to mind is organizations often focus mainly on their content - all the documents and items stored across their libraries and lists. Of course, why wouldn't they? It's the reason that they started using SharePoint anyways. But in many cases, the SharePoint environment that has been well adopted and his highly use will include some level of customizations to help meet specific business needs. These may include forms and workflows, scheduled timer jobs, custom look and feel, business logic to interface with other line of business solutions, to name a few.
This presentation takes a look at ways to create a SharePoint Online environment that will provide a similar experience for your users. We will look are various technologies, including CSOM Scripting, Microsoft Flow, PowerApps, Forms, LogicApps, and Azure Functions.

Microsoft Teams is the fastest-growing product in Microsoft history, providing a powerful platform for collaboration and communication. However, because Teams was built on the backs of two leading workloads: SharePoint and Exchange, managing the security, compliance, and governance of Teams comes with some additional complexity. In this session, Christian walks through 10 essentials for effective Teams governance to help you 'know where to go' to meet your organizational requirements.
Understanding the Culture of Collaboration in your OrganizationChristian Buckley
Presented at Commsverse 2022
When looking at the collaboration culture within your organization, there are three areas where you can focus: people, process, and technology. The number one mistake that organizations make is that we typically focus most of our time and attention on technology...and the least on people. In this session, we'll tackle the various collaboration "profiles" in modern work, and how we can better leverage our technology to drive better people outcomes.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

30. Know your limits
Migrations to SharePoint Online (SPO) have some
significant limitations when compared to migrations from
on-premises environments to on-prem, or to dedicated
offerings such as Office 365-D (Microsoft’s dedicated
service), Azure, AWS, Rackspace and other environments.
These limitations have a significant impact not only on
what is possible with migrations of on-premises SharePoint
and other content to SPO, but also on performance of
migrations to SPO.
Microsoft continues to expand these APIs, and it is likely
that many but not all of these limitations will be removed
over time
31.
32. SPO Limitations
Limitation Impact
Limited APIs. Migrations to on-premises
and private cloud (e.g.
Azure/Amazon/O365-D)
implementations of SharePoint support
the use of the full SharePoint Server
Object Model, the richest API available
for SharePoint, or a thin web services
layer that exposes the SharePoint Server
Object Model (Metalogix Extensions
Web Services/MEWS), for both reading,
and writing SharePoint Content.
Due to the multi-tenant nature of SPO,
Microsoft cannot expose the full
SharePoint Object Model in SPO.
Limited automation and controls around
migration and provisioning.
Microsoft currently expose three,
relatively limited API’s that are useful for
migrations:
• The Client Side Object Model
(CSOM)
• The Native Web Services (NWS) API
• The REST based interfaces to the
CSOM
33. SPO Limitations
Limitation Impact
Inability to connect at the
Farm/Tenant level (CSOM) - With
the full SharePoint Object Model or
MEWS, users can connect at the
Web Application or Farm level.
With the CSOM adapter users
cannot connect at the closest
equivalent, which is the Tenant
level
• Users have to create Site
Collections in the SPO admin
page prior to connecting to
them.
• Using 3rd party migration tools,
users may have to create a
separate connection for each
Site collection in SPO. Users are
unable to browse/search for all
root level Site Collections, and
may require more steps to
promote Sites to Site
Collections.
34. SPO Limitations
Limitation Impact
Inability to preserve Item IDs in lists • Lists with dependencies on
other lists such as Lookup
columns rely on Item IDs in the
Lookup lists.
• Because the CSOM does not
support retaining the Item ID of
list items, some 3rd party tools
have created workarounds that
may impact performance.
35. SPO Limitations
Limitation Impact
Copying MySites can only be done
one MySite at a time, and does not
include User Profile information.
• Unlike on-prem to on-prem
migrations where MySites can
be moved in a single operation,
in SPO admins must first create
each MySite.
• Admins then need to connect
to each MySite Site Collection
separatey, and then copy the
content from the source,
pasting it into the target MySite.
• Admins cannot copy MySite
profile information.
36. SPO Limitations
Limitation Impact
Versioning limitations in the CSOM
API.
• No support for migration of
minor versions of documents
• Authorship information for
rejected versions in a
document library with approval
is lost.
37. SPO Limitations
Limitation Impact
Nintex workflows cannot yet be
migrated to Office 365 due to
these same CSOM limitations.
Nintex workflows must be
recreated using the Nintex SPO
offering to the best extent as
possible.
38. SPO Limitations
Limitation Impact
Most on premises 3rd party solutions
are either not available in SPO, or
their functionality is greatly
reduced
Work with vendor to understand
product roadmap and capabilities.
Other options are to build using out
of the box capability.
39. SPO Limitations
Limitation Impact
Inability to troubleshoot issues Required to work through Microsoft
support and SLAs. Retrieving a
correlation ID for a error could take
days/weeks
40.
41. SPO Performance
SPO is on the open internet, and is a multi-tenant
environment.
Microsoft utilizes a number of methods to protect SPO
customer environments and the integrity of these server
farms.
Based on performance benchmarking by SharePoint ISV
Metalogix, there is an impact of between 40% and 45% on
the performance of migrations to SPO because of some of
these necessary protection mechanisms.
42. SPO Performance
Mechanism Impact
User and Tenant-based throttling,
which ensures that no single user or
tenant can perform so many
simultaneous operations that it
would cause performance issues
for other tenants*
Large or complex migration jobs
can be cut off mid-migration.
*For more information, see HTTP Request Throttling in
SharePoint 2010 which still applies to 2013.
43. SPO Performance
Mechanism Impact
Farm-based throttling. If a SPO farm
becomes unhealthy due to
extreme levels of activity, Microsoft
may throttle migrations to SPO and
not permit them to continue until
farm health returns to normal.
Any migration job can be throttle
at any time of day (usually during
peak time. This makes migration
performance extremely
unpredictable, and variable based
on time of day, day of week, and
other variables out of your control.
44. SPO Performance
Mechanism Impact
Virus scanning SPO requires stringent virus
scanning to ensure all tenants on
the shared farm are protected, but
it slows down migrations as each
document migrated must be
scanned.
45. SPO Performance
Mechanism Impact
Hardware-based load balancing
determines which Web Front End
(WFE) server in the farm to route
incoming traffic, based on how
busy any given WFE is at that time
This can slow down migrations that
are large (content) or complex
(many items with multiple
metadata fields, and/or many
versions)
46. SPO Performance
Mechanism Impact
Third-party commercial denial of
service monitoring platform for
monitoring and throttling
capabilities*
This can slow down migrations that
are large (content) or complex
(many items with multiple
metadata fields, and/or many
versions)
*See The Office 365 Trust Center for more information.
47. SPO Performance
Mechanism Impact
Third-party commercial denial of
service monitoring platform for
monitoring and throttling
capabilities*
This can slow down migrations that
are large (content) or complex
(many items with multiple
metadata fields, and/or many
versions)
48. SPO Performance
Microsoft is working on figuring out workarounds that could
potentially allow migration vendors to improve the
performance of migrations when clients using those vendors
indicate that they are in the process of migrating to SPO.
Metalogix internal benchmarking and data from customers
has shown that for SPO migrations with a single machine
averaged between 200MB and 550MB/hour depending on the
workload, the time of day, how busy the farm is, and numerous
other factors that are outside of our control.
49. SPO Performance
Disabling the ‘Following Content’ site feature (not site
collections) can improve migration performance:
This feature is enabled by default when a new site is created.
When it is disabled, performance of Site copies improves by
approximately 20% to 25% for document-heavy workloads.
50. SPO Performance
Due to the migration performance, it is recommended
that you take a gradual migration approach
May involve migrating one division at a time, and going
live with that division.
Allows you to assess the impact on your business users
and your helpdesk after moving one group of people to
a new user interface.
Also allows you to use focus groups to determine which
features you would like to implement as you gradually
migrate the business to SPO.
51.
52. SPO Hybrid Considerations
• Size and geographical distribution of an organization can
affect cloud adoption.
• Regulatory compliance and governance requirements
can limit cloud options.
• Service-level agreements (SLAs) may limit cloud options.
• It is important to understand the ROI of any proposed
solution (and the cost of change).
• Hybrid may be more of a transitional environment from on
prem to the cloud.

53. Factors in your cloud planning
Location / facilities
Software licenses and support
Hardware and maintenance
Onsite support, personnel skills
Level of customization
Governance, auditing, security, compliance
Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity
Upgrades and migration
54. Focusing on the end user experienceFocusing on the end user experience
55.
56. Things to consider:
Be clear on your system constraints
Understand and prioritize your key use cases
Determine what should be local, what can
be in the cloud, what should be available
via mobile devices
Constantly review and take action on what
can be automated and optimized

As SharePoint extends into broad adoption and business solutions such as extranets securing the SharePoint content is key.
Decisions need to be made about build or buy, out source or keep in house
The level of technical maturity and scope determines what is or can be handled in-house.
[Antonio to kick off…]

Imagine a spreadsheet that has the URL, name, owners, size, and count of sub sites. This information can be pulled from SQL Server and captured in a spreadsheet. This is a recommended best practice because the spreadsheet could then have additional information such as business purpose or customizations that are then filled out during a content audit.
Migration presents an ideal time to assess the current SharePoint’s information architecture and to determine what should change.
IA izncludes the combination of Content, Context, and users. For example, a user opens a main landing page. Does this user see the right content? Is it within the right context? Should this user see this content and in this context? Or should this user be receiving something else in terms of content and experience?
IA considers how information – i.e., content – is design to “flow” to a user but also how a user flows to content.
A good example is Amazon. If navigating to the Amazon
