Service Definition Structure

The Structure is designed to enable the clear and accurate definition of services.

The structure:

• Enables the definition of both simple and complex services

• Creates clarity by clearly defining what organisational/functional units are involved in delivering and maintaining this service

• Enables clear communication of service targets associated with different service elements

Service Support

• Consists of a defined list of activities, resources and/or processes that are offered by the IT organisation to support the Services customers’ use.

Periodic of review

Once this Service Definition is approved by IT at UNSW it will form the initial baseline for future service renewal.

Validation of the targets listed in this definition will be reviewed by the Service Management Office after 6 months from acceptance of the initial definition.

Monthly performance reports will be provided; however a realistic operational time frame is required to gather quantitative data before a review is recommended.

All service reviews will be conducted on an annual basis once the 6-month review is complete. The Service Management Office is accountable for initiating this review and managing service improvement opportunities through to a successful conclusion.

Enterprise SharePoint Service Description

Service Item Details

This section provides information on what the service is known as and who within IT at UNSW owns the service.

Service Name Enterprise SharePoint

Service Group IT Infrastructure Services, SharePoint Team

Service Description The Enterprise SharePoint Service provides an online collaboration and communication tool for UNSW business units and groups to use for a range of purposes including intranet web sites, workgroup collaboration and document sharing, or as a platform for simple workflow based processes (e.g. request and approval).

The ‘Basic Service’ offered by IT at UNSW is a SharePoint site hosting service, where IT at UNSW is responsible for supporting the underlying infrastructure and ensuring the system performs to the agreed levels of service defined in this document.

IT at UNSW can provide or arrange consulting services to assist customers with initial planning and implementation of their site, or updating their site at a later stage, however this is not a feature of the basic service and is chargeable.

Each business unit or group using the service is responsible for the administration of their site(s), site design, content management and ensuring that they are using the SharePoint product in an appropriate and effective way. In order for these aspects to be managed effectively, each business unit or group that uses the service must allocate staff to be responsible for the site maintenance and development. A description of these roles is provided in the “Support Services” section of this document.

Service Options

Description Pricing

This section provides information on the key components that make up the service offering.

The options presented here apply to both new customers wishing to establish a SharePoint site, and existing customers who wish to change their site.

IT at UNSW will monitor customer site usage and pro-actively contact customers if their capacity requirements change significantly. This may trigger a re-assessment of the most appropriate service option.

Basic Service

This service is suitable for customers where all users have a Z ID, and the number of users logged into the service at the same time is less than 500.

The Basic Service includes the following components, with a :

• An upfront assessment of requirements to ensure the most appropriate service offering is selected (Basic, Large/Public or Advanced).

• Access to the basic out of the box functionality as detailed in the tables below under “Basic Service Functionality”.

• UNSW Branded SharePoint site templates.

• 5 days1 of engagement with SharePoint Services staff to perform the initial deployment of the SharePoint site(s). This includes:

o Discussion and education on site branding, navigation, basic functionality, access permissions, clarification of support roles and responsibilities.

o Completion of a site(s) configuration template

o Deployment of sites and SharePoint services (Top level structure only)

o Refinement of Deployment Configuration.

• 10GB2 initial quota for Content Storage per customer. Additional storage must be formally requested, and is capped at 30GB under the Basic Service.

• Customer business units are required to nominate staff to administer and be responsible for their site.

o Self paced training will be provided for administrators; however this will only provide a basic overview of administration tasks.

o An external training course (provided by Dimension Data) is highly recommended for these staff to ensure they have the appropriate skills and knowledge of the SharePoint product. (~$600 per person).

Up-front:

$4k (5 day engagement at IT Rate Card)

On-going:

No charge

                                                                                                                         1  If  there  is  a  need  for  a  longer  engagement  to  establish  the  site(s),  IT  at  UNSW  will  recommend  the  “Advanced  Features,  Design  and  Development”  Service  option  described  below.  2  If  a  Customer  uses  (or  requires  more  than)  a  10GB  storage  allocation  for  Site  Content,  they  have  the  option  of  purchasing  more  storage  in  blocks  of  10GB.  

Page 8: Enterprise SharePoint - UNSW IT - Service Catalogue · Enterprise SharePoint Service RACI matrix% ... information on the key functions available with the MS SharePoint 2010 product

Page  8    24/04/2012  

Large / Public Service

The Large / Public Service has the same features as the Basic Service, however this service is suitable for customers:

o who have a requirement for greater than 500 users logged in to the site at the same time, or

o that wish to enable access for public users / users that do not have a Z ID.

o require more than 30GB of storage.

The intent of this service option is to ensure that larger customers do not impact on the other service customers by consuming a disproportionate amount of system capacity. To mitigate against this, sufficient capacity must be added to the infrastructure platform to support large customers.

This service offering includes:

• An upfront assessment of requirements and estimate of costs.

• All features of the basic service.

• Deployment of appropriate infrastructure capacity to the SharePoint system.

Note that this option may lead to a high cost solution. The Team site service may be a more cost effective option for customers that require a website style of solution (i.e. no collaboration features).

Up-front:

Labour and Materials costs (infrastructure)

As per IT Rate Card

On-going:

depends on scope of solution

Advanced Features, Design and Develop-ment

The Advanced Features, Design and Development Service is appropriate for customers who:

• Require access to Advanced features: Reporting Services, Forms, and Workflow, or Custom Authentication. (See the table below for description of Advanced Features.)

• Require consulting services for the design, development and implementation of their SharePoint site.

• Have a requirement for a customised SharePoint application.

• Have high security requirements

This service offering includes:

• All aspects of the Basic Service +

• Up-front estimate of costs

• A project engagement with SharePoint specialists to plan, design and implement the SharePoint site. The scope of this engagement is flexible depending on the needs of the business unit.

• Agreement on support arrangements: A separate service definition (agreement) is recommended, and depending on requirements, additional support personnel may be required.

Note:  there  will  be  limits  on  the  number  of  customers  that  can  be  engaged  each  month  due  to  effort  bundled  in  to  each  engagement.  It  is  suggested  that  less  than  4  customer  sites  be  planned  for  each  site  as  a  limit  on  the  workload  for  staff  involved  in  the  provisioning  process,  however  this  number  may  vary  based  on  other  workload  demands.

Basic Service Functionality

Description

This section provides information on the key functions available with the MS SharePoint 2010 product. Note that it is the responsibility of each customer to nominate which functionality they need included in their site.

Web Content

SharePoint can be used to host web content for internal purposes e.g. a business unit intranet site.

An intranet web site contains static content that is used for the purposes of communicating within an organisation, or providing reference information.

Web content can have access restrictions applied that only allow designated users or groups of users to view certain pages.

Team Sites3 + Document Sharing

Team sites represent online collaboration spaces and can have a range of functionality incorporated including:

Web Content;

Lists of contacts, actions, tasks, issues or risks;

Team calendar;

Document Library for uploading documents, collaborating on documents, or publishing documents.

Team site content can have access restrictions applied to limit access to certain pages or items to a specified group or individual.

mySites

my Sites are online “user profiles” that contain information about an individual. Each mysite is owned by the corresponding user, and only they have permissions to update their profile.

The use of my Sites is optional.

SharePoint Search SharePoint has a built in search capability that allows users to search for documents or web content within a site.

In browser Word, Access, Visio, PowerPoint and Excel viewing and editing

Users have the ability to edit Word, Access, Visio and Excel documents that are stored within a SharePoint site using their Internet Browser, as long as they are using Internet Explorer version 7 32bit or later, or Firefox version 3.6 or later on a Windows Computer.

All Windows XP SOE computers are compatible with this feature; however Mac computers are not compatible with this feature. Note that Windows Computers running Internet Explorer 64bit are not compatible with this feature.

Metadata SharePoint has the ability to assign metadata (categories or tags) to documents or other items. Metadata tags can have a hierarchical structure. Metadata is a powerful tool for managing documents because it ensures consistent use of terminology and provides better search results.

Review and Approve Workflow

The Basic Service includes 2 out of the box workflows “Review” and “Approve” which can be assigned to documents.

                                                                                                                         3  Team  sites  in  SharePoint  are  completely  separate  to  the  the  IT  at  UNSW  web  hosting  service  “Teamsite”.  

Page 10: Enterprise SharePoint - UNSW IT - Service Catalogue · Enterprise SharePoint Service RACI matrix% ... information on the key functions available with the MS SharePoint 2010 product

Page  10    24/04/2012  

Basic Service Functionality

Description

Content Types

SharePoint has the ability to pre-define categories of documents that have a consistent set of properties such as a standard template; standard metadata; policies (e.g. expiration date); workflow (e.g. review and approve).

Content types are made accessible to end users through the “new” command (often displayed within team workspace SharePoint sites) which will present a drop down list of content types / templates.

Content types provide teams with a means to ensure consistent documentation, process, categorisation of documents and an ability to filter search results based on the metadata assigned to different content types.

Social Computing SharePoint 2010 includes several social computing features such as:

- Communities

- Micro-blogging (comments and custom tagging of SharePoint content e.g. a news item may have the following tags “Christmas Party”, “2011”, “Academic Staff”)

- Social Networking – an online network of colleagues / other SharePoint users.

- Newsfeeds

- My Sites user profiles (already described above)

All of these features are optional.

Advanced Service Functionality

Description

These features are not enabled by default.

Reporting Services SharePoint has the ability to create charts and interactive dashboards for viewing data.

Forms On-line forms can be used for collecting data, or as part of a simple workflow process.

Custom Workflow Workflows in SharePoint enable manual paper or email based processes to be streamlined and in some cases automated.

Forms / documents can be sent to:

People one by one after each other ( = serial), or

Everyone at the same time ( = parallel)

Custom Authentication

The standard mechanism for logging in to SharePoint will be to use Z-Pass. Other forms of authentication may be possible and are regarded as advanced configuration.

Third Party Product Support

There are many third party plugins and tools for SharePoint that require implementation and system integration before new functionality can be used.

The  structure  includes  optional  Level  2  and  3  support  teams  for  customers  who  have  deployed  custom  SharePoint  Applications  using  their  own  support  development  teams.  In  this  scenario  there  would  be  delineation  of  responsibilities  between  the  ITU  SharePoint  Level  2  and  the  Faculty  Level  2  team,  where  the  ITU  team  is  responsible  for  the  overall  environment  and  the  Faculty  team  would  have  limited  administrative  access  to  the  SharePoint  Farm.  However  this  is  not  a  standard  feature  of  the  support  structure  and  would  only  apply  under  approved  circumstances.    

It  is  recommended  that  for  any  applications  deployed  to  SharePoint,  a  formal  discussion  and  agreement  takes  place  to  define  the  support  arrangements  and  that  this  is  reflected  in  the  CA  Service  Desk  tool  configuration  of  resolver  groups,  and  incident  /  request  categories.
