What’s new in SP13 for Comms

• New ways of doing News content:– Article pages with their own URL’s for enhanced tracking and analytics– Enhanced metadata functionality powers navigation– Multiple page types (big, middle, small image sizes, no image;

above pages with or without comments)

• Conversations on articles– Comments and Likes attached to the Article page

17




Re-usable standard page types

Enterprise Initiatives landing page

• A single place to anchor pages and sites that communicate information about major strategies or initiatives

• This page layout can be re-used as the landing page for a particular initiative, and the standard news article pages re-used as content pages (including the page type with comments)

• Similarly, CEO Communications site layout reused for COO / CMO etc….

18




Medium Term – SP13 Social

Work is ongoing in T & O to spec and build a Compliance solution that will allow social collaboration functionality to be used by all BMO employees.

• Newsfeeds – Personal information sharing, hybrid Twitter / Facebook model

• Follow – Follow People, Sites, Documents, and Tags and receive updates in your Newsfeed

• Site Feeds – OOTB on Team Sites, can be added to Publishing Sites

• Social Community Sites – a site template offering conversation centric collaboration via multiple discussion topics, with reputation management and gamification (simple badges)

19




Social Collaboration Functionality – Newsfeed

• News Feed – Micro-blogging. A Twitter / Facebook Wall hybrid, users can follow other users and follow trending topics by using hash tags. SharePoint sites and even documents use this mechanism for broadcasting updates, e.g. you can “follow” a person, a site, or a document. It is a ‘broadcast’ communication, there is no facility for a “private conversation”.


20



Social Collaboration Functionality – Social Community Sites


21



Social Collaboration Functionality – Site Feed

• The Site Feed is part of the SharePoint 2013 Team Site template. It can however be used / added to other types of sites.

• The Site Feed, as it sounds, is a newsfeed tied into a particular SharePoint site rather than an individual:

• The site feed is a feed scoped to a particular group of users

23

Social Collaboration Functionality – SP13 Blogs




Summary

24

• Managed Metadata Service provides new functionality for navigation, filtering and the Content Search Apps to replace CQWB

• Easier to do things you could always do in SP, by separating Page Layout from branding and use of Content Types

• Comments “on the page” allow Communicators to decide whether it is “on” or “off” (rather than true social functionality)

• Social functionality – how do Corporate Communications guide the conversations, and deal with potentially negative feedback etc. How do they become Community Managers but retain the role of story teller ?
