What Users WantAccess to documents and content - regardless of technical issues

"If I can't get to my documents, I'll just use a different method for my workflow..."

Availability to documents"You promised me 99.999% uptime and availability for all of my information - this is a Mission Critical operation and I need them all the time..."

Ownership of information"Thanks for letting me manage the permissions to my files, it helps to ensure that I control who has access... wait , what do you mean I can't change who has access?"

Ease of Use"Why does my information not synchronize and show up between the different portals and apps?"

Our Goals as StakeholdersKeeping all users engaged and active (no matter where

they are or how they connect)Providing the best possible speed and access to content

even through disruptionsKeep confidential information shared with

partners/agencies in approved environments (and safe)Keep information authoritative across all systems

• 3rd party tools required• Not everything equal

−Capabilities that are retired−New App Model

• Classic vs. Claims• Look & Feel/ User experience

differences• Managing distributed farms• OneDrive for Business and

Windows Explorer Views

Considerations

• Cross version SharePoint (2007/2010/2013)

• Network topology, Latency & Challenged networks (WAN)

• Keeping information up to date - Authoritative information

• Compliance / Risk−PII regulations

• If using satellites - $ • Data Collisions/ Health of

Infrastructure - performed by different teams in different locations

Considerations

• Geographically distributed

• Throttling of Transactions− Office 365/ Azure / AWS

• Network bandwidth requirement planning- http://aka.ms/tune

• Availability of APIs / limitations of what content can be accessed

• Authentication / SSO / ADFS / Azure AD

• Backup Services• Actual Cost – Beyond just storage

and processing

Considerations

• Cloud to - On-Premises- Cloud

Actual Total Cost

• Synchronization of Content

• Staffing• Tools• Adoption• Off-Boarding

What to do • Prioritize Content

− What type of Hybrid are you building?− Move e-mail first

• Identify the initial effort to move content− Migration of content− Synchronization of content

• Perform the Business Cost Analysis− Describe the risk of NOT utilizing Hybrid− How will the Infrastructure be managed?
