Presales
Step into Customer’s
shoes
Always try to maximize the VALUE for the customer
The Sharepoint solutions are COMPLEX, ask your SMEs for support when
needed
Clearly define the in scope, out of scope,
constraints and limitations

Application, Storage,…
Document all your decisions!
As Architect DO NOT code your projects
IT Architecture Tradeoff
Design against requirements
ONLY
Avoid unsupported scenarios, this is a
BUMERANG
Propose business value, use ROI
calculations
Calculate the ROI of each pillar of your design and
sell it out to the stakeholders!

Sharepoint 2013 sales points
New BCM and DR model
More scalable incl. WFM & WAC
New search capabilities
The Collaboration is better with Lync and Ex (UCS & WAC)
Improved WCM (incl. licensing)
The new APP mode – huge partner opportunity
General Sharepoint Architecture Guidance
ALWAYS design against scenarios NOT features
Take into account the product limits and boundaries
Talk about RECOMMENDED and CURRENT instead of BEST practices
Ask Microsoft Premier support about supportability
Plan and maintain the capacity
Add the Governance plan in scope

Lessons Learned – SP Apps
Key Requirements Possible Approaches
Apps – Key Requirements
Consider your identity sources
Consider your App permissions level – hosting web/ tenant/…?
Cloud dependency – TO BE OR NOT TO BE?
Team skills – Sharepoint, ASP.NET, etc.

Lessons Learned – SP Infrastructure
Key Requirements Possible Approaches
SP Infra – Key Considerations (1)
Consider the availability and resources
Plan your servers and capacity, plan also the data growth…
Take into account the skills of the operations personnel
According to the new SP Apps infrastructure plan to have a SP Web application with no host header
Use host header site collections when you need site with unique URL
After Sharepoint deployment always deliver a Governance plan document, even in “lite” format
SP Infra – Key Considerations (2)
ALWAYS setup at least 2 environments – TEST & PRODUCTION
Create a simple application to track site collection requests
Plan a process for site collections and content DBs management
Use QUOTAs
