Social Networking
Social Networking
What is Social Networking?
• A virtual gathering place• A web of contacts• A bulletin board
• A scrapbook• A knowledgebase
Social Networking
Examples• Linked In• Facebook• MySpace• Twitter• Classmates.com• Reunion.com
• Forums• Distribution Lists• Blogs, RSS feeds• Many more…
One user example…
• Participate in LinkedIn as a career networking tool– Keep track of previous co-workers, networking contacts, etc
• Participate on facebook with friends, family and some work and community contacts
– Get a little more personal by sharing photos and comments with friends– Control access to different groups– Follow statuses and updates
• Forums– Keep track of a few hobby-related lists to keep up on the latest news and info. – Contribute from time to time
• Blogs– Family blog – Technical or work topical blog– Read a list of blogs using Google Reader or some other RSS aggregator
Social Networking
What is Enterprise Social Networking?
• Employing the same concepts used in other social networking solutions, but done while asking: “Is this good for the company?”
• Realize the potential of social networking concepts in your workplace, with your partners and with your clients.
• The same standard business questions apply:– What is the return on investment?– Where are the efficiencies?
• But in one slide… WHY?
Social Networking
Why Enterprise Social Networking?
Social Networking
Drive collaboration &
social interactionCapture & share tacit knowledge
Discover content in new ways
Capture the “wisdom of the
masses” via social feedback
Build a sense of connection to the company
SharePoint Social Networking – Key Features
1. Profile Database – The database containing information about SharePoint users, imported from Active Directory and other potential sources.
2. People Search – A search scope and result page configured specifically for finding people, based on data crawled from the Profile database.
3. My Profile Page – One method of displaying the Profile database information, using web parts designed for that purpose and available only on the Profile page
Social Networking
SharePoint Social Networking – People Search
Social Networking
SharePoint Social Networking – Profile Page
Social Networking
Scenarios for Enterprise Social Networking
• Finding the right resources, when you need them– People Search or advanced search can be used to find people based on many
attributes – based on the Profile Database– Immediate needs: Finding the right resource for the current issue, fast– Ongoing needs: Building a project or organizational team
Social Networking
Scenarios for Enterprise Social Networking
• Accessing the organization chart– Succession planning– Finding co-workers, colleagues
and managers
Social Networking
Scenarios for Enterprise Social Networking
• Communication– Using blogs and RSS feeds to internally broadcast information
• Company announcements rather than e-mail broadcasting• Strategy and quarterly updates • Promotions, staffing changes, etc…
– Use external blogs to share relevant information with clients • Press Releases for stakeholders and the public• Technical / Product information and updates for clients and
partners
Social Networking
Scenarios for Enterprise Social Networking

Social Networking
Scenarios for Enterprise Social Networking
• Retain and more effectively utilize intellectual property – Use knowledge bases to capture critical information and make it
available to those that need it, when they need it• Wikis can be used to capture critical information and allow it to evolve quickly as
needed by as many people as needed. • Blogs can be used as internal ‘journals’ to track research, work and progress• Discussion boards can be used as places to capture and track conversation threads
and have benefits over e-mail
– Train new employees• Use the knowledge captured in the containers listed above to identify ‘required
reading’ for new team members.
Social Networking
Scenarios for Enterprise Social Networking
• ‘Communities of interest’– Aligning employees in different departments that have similar roles so they can
benefit from each others’ experiences– Internal User Groups– Cross-Department Collaboration
Social Networking
SharePoint – Version Recap
WSS – Windows SharePoint Services. The ‘no additional charge’ version of SharePoint that includes all the core functionality.
MOSS Standard – Some considerable enhancements on top of the core platform – My Sites, People search, Employee Lookup web part, etc…
MOSS Enterprise – Doesn’t offer a lot of functionality for social networking, but does include the BDC, which may allow for richer data
Social Networking
SharePoint MOSS Feature Reference
• My Sites– Special web parts– You could do the facebook status with a Discussion list – configure a web part on the
home page to only show the latest entry, have alerts, allow others to comment on it…
• People Search• Employee Search web part• Audiences
SSP• Profile Management• Search Management
Social Networking
Break

Unified Communications
Unified Communications
What is presence and how does it impact collaboration and social
computing in SharePoint?
What is Presence?
• This is presence...
• Know before you attempt to reach out
• Presence is the “center ring” of Unified Communications
What is Unified Communications?
• A COLLECTION of technologies – not a silver bullet
• “Game-Changer”• “Disruptor”• “Equalizer”
THE GOAL OF UNIFIED COMMUNICATIONS IS TO REDUCE THE
HUMAN LATENCY IN BUSINESS PROCESSES
The collection of communication technologies, applications and processes to enhance communication and business between you, your customers, partners and employees

Thoughts on Governance
• Don’t just update SharePoint – keep Active Directory up to date– Information also available in Outlook / other tools
• Sync with other systems – PeopleSoft, etc…• Development processes for User Profile/Import Changes• Database and server topology planning is required before rolling out
company-wide My Site deployments (100s or 1000s of sites)
