alone has a quite a few…
• Dynamics CRM
• Dynamics ERP
• Dynamics AX
• Dynamics GP
• Dynamics NAV
• Dynamics SL
Exchange
Lync

41. The Main Point of Implementing SharePoint:
SharePoint eventually allows Business Users to
develop and implement business solutions that
use technology without IT’s direct involvement.
SharePoint and IT
42. When I Say “SharePoint
Integration” You Probably Think
Of This...
Secondary (But Important) Points:
SharePoint’s integration with technologies you
already use and it’s extendibility are invaluable.

43. The Reality:
IT struggles with supporting another technology.

50. Add Value (Decision Makers)
The Biggest Point to Share is:
SharePoint can help achieve business objectives by
improving productivity, reducing waste, etc.
The Reality:
Business Objectives are often not specific enough to be
achievable.
It takes time and investment to reach the
point all managers and executives want.
52. HR Onboarding Solutions
• Onboarding Workflow
• Onboarding Electronic Forms
• Integration with HRIS
• New Employee Site

57. The Outcome
Joe achieved momentum and buy in
by ensuring stakeholders have a shared
understanding of SharePoint value.
58. What to watch out for…
Joe must carefully manage expectations
and maintain the momentum.
61. Show expected cost and return over multiple time periods.
Remember to ‘discount’ values to account for cost of capital
impact and the fact $5 dollars today is worth less than $5 in
the future.
Evaluating With Discounted
Cash Flow
65. There are really only two ways
of using ROI…
1. For Prioritization
2. To Improve Return
66. The Simplest ROI Formula Ever
Estimated Value
Estimated Difficulty
Even I can
do it!
1. For Prioritization
67. Examples
I have a difficult requirement. It’s an 8 in difficulty (out of 10).
I have an easy requirement. It’s a 2 in difficulty (out of 10).
The expected value of the difficult requirement is 4 (out of 10).
The expected value of the easy requirement is 6 (out of 10).

1. For Prioritization
69. ROI analysis often misses 'non-
financial impact’ or ‘increased
potential’
Website/Intranet Visitors

2. To Improve Return
81. Teamwork is Key
There are typically 5 teams for SharePoint Governance:
Business Strategy Team
Initiatives/Technical Strategy Team
Tactical Teams:
Tactical Operations Team
Tactical Development Team

96. Why Iterative?
SharePoint is a very large platform.
It takes time to understand SharePoint.
SharePoint is great for rapid prototyping,
and for proof of concept work.
It ensures there is enough time to
review, adjust, and communicate.
99. SharePoint Can Be Intrusive
