The Client
A nearly century-old construction company (slow to make changes)
![Page 4: Movin’ On Up - A SharePoint 2013 Migration Case Study](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54dab8f34a7959ef358b4573/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Environment
• Existing SharePoint 2007– ~400 GB in the content DB
• Pilot SharePoint 2010– Records Center
• Office 365– Project that needed ability to collaborate with
external entities, not enough resources at the time to set up their own extranet
![Page 5: Movin’ On Up - A SharePoint 2013 Migration Case Study](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54dab8f34a7959ef358b4573/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Goal
• SharePoint 2013• On-premises• Unified environment
![Page 6: Movin’ On Up - A SharePoint 2013 Migration Case Study](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54dab8f34a7959ef358b4573/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Business Drivers
• Some performance issues in 2007– (All 400 GB in a single content DB)
• Unhelpful search results• Required support for legacy customizations• Low user adoption– Lots of files sent via e-mail– Shadow resources may be in use (Box, etc.)
• Access controls out of control– Lots of folders!
![Page 7: Movin’ On Up - A SharePoint 2013 Migration Case Study](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54dab8f34a7959ef358b4573/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Proposed Solution
Migrate content into new environment using third-party tool– Cleans up access controls– Allows creation and assignment of content types– Leaves behind stale content– No customization ghosts– Realign content into smaller content databases
Alternative – script migration using PowerShell
![Page 8: Movin’ On Up - A SharePoint 2013 Migration Case Study](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54dab8f34a7959ef358b4573/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Challenges
• Resources dedicated to SAP implementation– Funding limitations– Server resources
• Turnover of SharePoint staff• Datacenter and office move
![Page 9: Movin’ On Up - A SharePoint 2013 Migration Case Study](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54dab8f34a7959ef358b4573/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Potential Wins
Once the migration is complete: • Resources dedicated to supporting the two
older environments can be reclaimed• Costs of the cloud environment eliminated• SP2013 costs less than SP2010, skipping 2010
makes senseExample Savings# of Internal Users 100 # of Servers 2
Internal CAL Enterprise (Est.) Cost
SharePoint 2010 $ 82 $ 40,000 $ 88,200
SharePoint 2013 $ 94 $ 7,000 $ 23,400
Saving (Est.): $ 64,800

Legacy SharePoint Customizations
Choices:• Retired• Replaced w/ other (non-SharePoint) solutions• Replaced using OOTB SP2013 features• Must be rebuilt with the App model
![Page 11: Movin’ On Up - A SharePoint 2013 Migration Case Study](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54dab8f34a7959ef358b4573/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Use SharePoint
![Page 12: Movin’ On Up - A SharePoint 2013 Migration Case Study](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54dab8f34a7959ef358b4573/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Plan
Documents customized to reflect the existing environment and desired outcomes labeled as “Plan”, and as-yet un-customized docs are “Templates”.
As the templates get filled out, they become plans.

To Do
• Determine Governance• Determine Architecture• Install Servers and Software• Configure 2013 Environment• User Training• Content Migration• Application Migration• Decommission 2007 and 2010
![Page 14: Movin’ On Up - A SharePoint 2013 Migration Case Study](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54dab8f34a7959ef358b4573/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Governance
• Identify Key Stakeholders• Project Kickoff Meeting• Vision and Goals• Decisions List
These decisions feed into Architecture design

MAKE IT BETTER!INTRANET MIGRATION TO SHAREPOINT 2013
Upgrade project kickoff meeting with key stakeholders (Presentation Rough Draft)
![Page 18: Movin’ On Up - A SharePoint 2013 Migration Case Study](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54dab8f34a7959ef358b4573/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
WE’RE GETTING AN UPGRADE
• SharePoint 2013 has some great new features – including a more intuitive interface!• Streamlined Permissions – it will be easier for you
to get access to your stuff!• Better Search – it will be easier for you to find
what you are looking for!
![Page 19: Movin’ On Up - A SharePoint 2013 Migration Case Study](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54dab8f34a7959ef358b4573/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
BETTER SEARCH!
• So significant, I had to mention it again!
• You know how Google has gotten better over the years at giving you what you are looking for? Microsoft has figured out that it needs to step up its game.
![Page 20: Movin’ On Up - A SharePoint 2013 Migration Case Study](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54dab8f34a7959ef358b4573/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
MOST IMPORTANT…
We are trying to make work easier for you.
![Page 21: Movin’ On Up - A SharePoint 2013 Migration Case Study](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54dab8f34a7959ef358b4573/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
THAT’S THE CARROT
• Carrots are good for you!• But you aren’t a horse, and carrots may not be
your favorite food…
• In other words, while it is good for you, you might have to “eat” some things that you may not like the taste of in order to reap the benefits.
![Page 22: Movin’ On Up - A SharePoint 2013 Migration Case Study](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54dab8f34a7959ef358b4573/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
CHANGE CAN BE HARD….
• But we are going to do everything we can to make it as easy as possible to get to the good stuff.
![Page 23: Movin’ On Up - A SharePoint 2013 Migration Case Study](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54dab8f34a7959ef358b4573/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
WHY SHAREPOINT?
Provides a secure place to store documents
• Always backed up• Always available (cloud!)• Version control• Access control• Alerts – stay informed of changes!
![Page 24: Movin’ On Up - A SharePoint 2013 Migration Case Study](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54dab8f34a7959ef358b4573/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
WHY SHAREPOINT?
Workflow automates business processes
Spend less time managing processes and more time accomplishing things!
![Page 25: Movin’ On Up - A SharePoint 2013 Migration Case Study](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54dab8f34a7959ef358b4573/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
WHY SHAREPOINT?
Empower users – get IT out of the way of business!
![Page 26: Movin’ On Up - A SharePoint 2013 Migration Case Study](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54dab8f34a7959ef358b4573/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

A FEW CHANGES…
• Additional Governance - Consistent look and feel across the organization• Better experience for the end users – you!• More consistent system behavior• More consistent search results!
• Behavior - Never add another attachment to e-mail• Cost savings!• No more playing “Which version is correct?”
• No more folders!• Say what?!?!?
![Page 28: Movin’ On Up - A SharePoint 2013 Migration Case Study](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54dab8f34a7959ef358b4573/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
FILE FOLDERS ARE SO 19TH CENTURY
• Prior to 1898, businesses kept papers in envelopes in turn stored in arrays of pigeonholes often lining a wall. Finding and opening envelopes and unfolding papers was troublesome and inefficient.• The vertical filing cabinet (more or less as in use
today) was invented by Edwin G. Seibels in 1898. Seibels reasoned that folding was not necessary; papers could be kept in large envelopes standing on end vertically in a drawer.• Electronic folders are designed to mimic the
separation provided by the 1898 invention.
![Page 29: Movin’ On Up - A SharePoint 2013 Migration Case Study](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54dab8f34a7959ef358b4573/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
LIMITING YOUR VIEW
• Folders limit your view of information to only the way the data is separated by the folders• But what if you wanted to look at the data a
different way?
![Page 30: Movin’ On Up - A SharePoint 2013 Migration Case Study](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54dab8f34a7959ef358b4573/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
HOW WE FIND STUFF
• Then: Location was everything
• Now: Search is king. Search is so much the prevalent way we find things that we don’t even call it “searching” anymore. We call it after a common search appliance – we “Google” things now! (Even when we are using Bing! Sorry, MS!)
• Search gives you what you are looking for when you are looking for it
![Page 31: Movin’ On Up - A SharePoint 2013 Migration Case Study](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54dab8f34a7959ef358b4573/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
CONTAINERS ARE FOR LOCKING
• Use containers (like sites, libraries or folders) to create security zones.• Use labels – tags and “metadata” to group things
by what they are and make them findable
• Use “content types” to determine what types of labels can be applied, and how to handle the document lifecycle
![Page 32: Movin’ On Up - A SharePoint 2013 Migration Case Study](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54dab8f34a7959ef358b4573/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
TRAINING!
• A big change like this is an opportunity to address training gaps• A big part of helping you to get the most out of
SharePoint is teaching you how to get the most out of SharePoint
![Page 33: Movin’ On Up - A SharePoint 2013 Migration Case Study](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54dab8f34a7959ef358b4573/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
MAKE USERS HAPPIER
• Easier to use• More effective, giving you time to spend on things
that matter!
![Page 34: Movin’ On Up - A SharePoint 2013 Migration Case Study](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54dab8f34a7959ef358b4573/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
MAKE MANAGEMENT HAPPIER
• Cost reductions!• Increased efficiency! (More cost reductions!)• More focus on capturing business (more profit!)• More focus on improving services (happier
customers, more profit!)
![Page 35: Movin’ On Up - A SharePoint 2013 Migration Case Study](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062511/54dab8f34a7959ef358b4573/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
