2007

MCSE; MCP: WSS & MOSS
Agenda
• Introduction• Four foundations that
make a successful MOSS intranet
• Microsoft’s school collaboration offering: SharePoint Learning Gateway
Each Portal Type Usually A Separate Project
A point solution without an enterprise strategyAn overambitious implementation that tries to serve all users at once
Many organizations either underestimate the depth and breadth of MOSS—or overestimate what they can accomplish in one project.
MOSS Governance
Balancing Act• Empowerment versus
Control• Standards versus
Customizations• Managed versus

Intranet becomes primary means of collaboration among
teachers, students and parents.Intranet provides timely, accurate and targeted
communication of measures of student achievement and curriculum effectiveness

Content Inventory
• A portal is always replacing something—find out what that is! – Cannot avoid this step—as difficult as it may
seem• Strategies to get it done
– Exclude obsolete content– Divide and conquer
Content Inventory Types
Portals
File shares
Email mailing lists
Discussion boards
Group calendars
Et cetera…
Iterate the Inventory
Deep-dive inventory• Know what you need to know• Some, but not all, of the inventory taxonomy
comes from the portal taxonomy• Customize the inventory to the type of content
High-level Inventory
•Cast a wide net for content and content contributors•Be guided by the portal type

The Information Architecture Should Be Based on the Vision
• Different portal types leverage the taxonomy in different ways
Publishing Intranets Collaboration Intranets
Site Columns tends to be most important
Content types tend to be primary
Navigation tends to hide the site map
Navigation tends to mirror the site map
UI is highly customized UI often “out of the box”—or close to it
Content Types
An inheritable collection of settings that defines several elements of a piece of content, including:
Document Template
Metadata
Workflows
Information Management Policies
Document Information Panel
Content Type Settings
Conclusion
• Key Deliverables of a Vision/RA/Design/Plan Engagement– Governance Model– Vision & Requirements Documents– Taxonomy & Site Map– Graphical Prototypes– Implementation Plan
