In case you haven’t heard, Microsoft is “all in” on the cloud
At the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference (WPC) in Toronto in July 2012, Kurt DelBene, President of the Microsoft Office Division announced that Office 365, including SharePoint Online, is growing at over 8x their predictions, and is likely to eclipse SharePoint as the fastest growing Microsoft offer ever.
![Page 16: Generating Business Value Through Social](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062617/54b758814a79594f0d8b4572/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
SharePoint is also “all in” on the cloudDuring his keynote presentation at SPTechCon in February 2012, Jared Spataro, Director of SharePoint at Microsoft, announced that SharePoint 2013 was being developed using a “Cloud First” strategy, and that Office 365 customers could expect to have access to the benefits of the new release sooner than on-premises deployments.

Why partners and developers should care about SharePoint in the cloud
As SharePoint continues to expand its footprint, companies are demanding flexible architectures to help them better meet internal and external collaboration needs
• Reducing costs
• Reducing headcount
• Doing more with less
• Focusing less on traditional IT activities and more on activities that will help drive the business forward
![Page 19: Generating Business Value Through Social](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062617/54b758814a79594f0d8b4572/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Is social a fit?
![Page 20: Generating Business Value Through Social](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062617/54b758814a79594f0d8b4572/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
An Avanade global study of enterprise social collaboration trends, analyzing the habits of 4,000 users and 1,000 IT and business decision-makers in 22 countries, found that
• Facebook is twice as popular as SharePoint – 73% to 39%
• Facebook is also four times more popular that IBM Open connections (17%) and six times more popular than Salesforce’s Chatter (12%)

Of course…
• Although Facebook is used by 74% of organizations surveyed, organizations put SharePoint and Chatter (tied at 23%) at the top of their list of deployments for the coming year
• When asked about priorities, Facebook fell to the end of the list

According to the Avanade study:• Social technologies make their jobs more
enjoyable (66%)• And more productive (62%)• And help them get work done faster (57%)• Of the businesses using social collaboration
tools, 82% want to use them more in the future

Many business leaders have a false sense of accomplishment in social collaborationConsumer-driven technologies lack enterprise capabilities• document sharing• enterprise search• integration with communications systems

Social Features in SharePoint

The Yammer Question
![Page 30: Generating Business Value Through Social](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062617/54b758814a79594f0d8b4572/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Why some organizations are looking at Yammer rather than SharePoint:• Current users may ignore SP2013 or O365
advances because their current systems are “good enough”
• Prospective users may be overwhelmed by all of the new features and options, and just don’t know where to begin
• Yammer is just an easier model to understand

AOL took a conjoint approach to understand the DNA of comments within their sites. They looked at:• fact based comments• clarity of thought• original article criticism• name (full name, nicknames, anonymous)• icon (author picture, avatar)• adherence to party lines• grammar
Richard Heseltine, AOL, from January 2013 Emerging Media Conference (EmMeCon)
AOL’s analysis showed what people cared about: • style -- 7% (not very important) • individual substance - 14% mildly important • community involvement -- 19% somewhat important• personal identity --- 19% somewhat important• relationship to content - 42% very important

Introducing Gamification
“The addition of game mechanics to a site or application allows you to layer more
compelling user experiences into existing activities.
“These gamified activities address and satisfy
basic human desires, creating the addictive experiences that motivate users to take
specific actions, and to return more frequently.”
BunchBall, Gamification 101: An Introduction to Game Dynamics

Case Study
A global computer manufacturer launched a Facebook campaign to build out a community for tech-focused college students, with the goal of promoting their educational computing site. They created a gamified Facebook app that offered a chance to win a $5,000 scholarship and free laptop. Students received points for registering, by inviting friends, creating groups, and by posting on their Facebook wall. Six weeks after launch, they increased participation by 1000%. Other metrics included:1 in 3 checked out their product reviews1 in 3 promoted the Facebook app1 in 3 posted their award to a new level1 in 3 visited the educational computing site1 in 4 recruited friends to help them1 in 5 made the laptop their Facebook profile picture for a day1 in 6 participants wrote and submitted an essay

Does this really work?
World class companies have introduced Gamification imperatives and have measured the following improvements on different user behavior levels:
• 500% increase in user comments and activity in the Intranet• 140% increase time on site• 600% gain in shop clicks• 2000% surge in social sales• 60% increase in Employee engagement• 250% growth in training compliance

The overall goal of social is to reach business goals by• driving engagement
• improving collaboration
• instilling a sense of community

How you moveforward with social
depends on what you are trying to achieve

How to move forward:• Understand your
organization’s cultural capacity for social
