Most enterprises are trying to understand -- and roll out -- social capabilities across the enterprise, but many are concerned about the lack of governance controls for social activities in SharePoint and Yammer. This presentation helps set the stage for what is available out of the box, and what organizations should be thinking about to better govern their social deployments.

SharePoint out of the box is a powerful platform
•
But many organizations don’t think they have
the time, money, people to spend on planning
•
The same can be said for governance
•
The result?

Site sprawl
Unfettered content
Process lawlessness

10. Many organizations are experiencing a
“Governance Crisis” – how to manage their
users and rapidly growing data across many
different platforms.
Cloud computing provides an opportunity to
move commodity infrastructure and services to
cloud-based services managed by some of the
world’s leading technology companies, reducing
risk and optimizing resource utilization.

As infrastructure and services increasingly are
distributed across public, managed and private
cloud environments, the need for sophisticated
tools to support Governance and Administration
will be essential.

30. The micro-feed enables users to do the following:
• Participate in conversations by posting comments and replies
• Post pictures and links
• Use tags (starting with the # symbol) to define keywords that users
can follow and search for
• Use mentions (starting with the @ symbol) to tag users in posts
and replies
• Indicate agreement with comments and replies by clicking Like.
• Follow people, documents, sites, and tags to customize their feed
Office 365 has all these capabilities too.
