5. Moving to SharePoint 2010
“We’ve decided to move to SharePoint
2010, so what considerations do we need
to make and where do we start???”
• Should we upgrade from our SharePoint
2007 environment?
• What documents do we migrate from our
Shared Drive?
• How important is overall usability and “look
and feel” to adoption?
• How do we make people govern and own
their areas within SharePoint?

6. Moving to SharePoint 2010
For those currently on SharePoint 2007, consider the following:
 Site Architecture  Branding
 Does your current site architecture allow for scalability, ease  Does the look and feel of your environment represent the
of navigation, and simplicity? corporate brand and culture?
 Usability and Adoption  Governance
 Did your first SharePoint deployment achieve good  Are SharePoint roles and responsibilities clearly defined and
adoption and did users like the system? understood within your organisation?
 Content Types  SharePoint Committee
 Have you deployed content types for managing core  Do you have an internal working group that regularly catch
business documents and other functionality? up in relation to the SharePoint evolution within your
organisation?
 Search
 Has search provided ROI to your business?

THE INFORMATION EXPLOSION
IT ALL COMES BACK TO THE
USER EXPERIENCE
• Give users an experience they are comfortable with (ie use proven designs)
• If it takes more than 3 clicks to get somewhere, users won’t go there
• Give users functionality they are becoming familiar with (ie facebook/twitter/bing)
• Understand your users, and persona profiling – different users will interact differently
