Others have it!
Sooner or later, you will need SharePoint!
3 reasons why SP 2013 is better than Sex:
– You can usually find someone to do it with
– A little Scotch and you can usually do it all night!
– If you don’t finish, you won’t gain a reputation of a “SharePoint Teaser”
Wheel is still there, but friendlier message

Analyze: Decision Points
• Content Analysis– File Shares
– Exchange Public Folders
– Notes Databases
– Existing SharePoint farms
– Web Content
– Other lines of business applications
• Who is involved?– Stakeholder(s) (Accountability)
– Business Drivers (Awareness)
– Information Technology (Accessibility)
– Individual(s) (Owner)
• Where is our content?– Hosted or In House
– Centralized or Decentralized
– Local or Abroad
@chrysalisbts
• Content Analysis– How much content? How large?– How many layers? (Web Applications, Site Collections,
Sites)– Content Types, Metadata? CTH?– Security Levels– Workflows– Linked Information– M.U.D.R (Systems and Content)
• Maintain• Upgrade• Dispose• Replace
Analyze: Decision Points
@chrysalisbts
• Service Applications Analysis
– Search
– Managed Metadata
– Secure Store (must be done before BCS)
– BCS
– User Profiles
– PerformancePoint
Analyze: Decision Points
@chrysalisbts
• Custom Code
– WSP
– Event receivers
– Apps (if 2013 to Online)
– Workflows
– Etc…
• 3rd Party Tools
Analyze: Decision Points
@chrysalisbts
• Action Items
– Roles and Responsibility Matrix
– Content Inventory Worksheet
– Security Report
– Decision: Build or Buy migration tools ANDservices

Private Cloud
Farm SolutionsSandbox Solutions
Expensive to runExpensive to maintain
We know what we knowWe expect innovation and great new features
@chrysalisbts
Azure
If you’re used to a virtual environment, you’re ready for Azure
A few quirks
Farm Solutions
Sandbox Solutions
Pricier
Not clear on upfront cost
@chrysalisbts
SharePoint Online
No Farm Solutions
Limited Sandbox Solutions
More script and CSOM code is being added
Totally based on access
AND “seats”
Usually cheaper that the other options
New Features come online first
Updates are almost every quarter
Good support from MS and the partners
@chrysalisbts
Hybrid Solution
@chrysalisbts
Upgrade Scenarios
Gradual Upgrade
In-Place Upgrade
@chrysalisbts
• All content databases
• Search administration
• BDC
• Managed Metadata
• PerformancePoint
• Secure store
• User Profile databases
Database Upgrade
@chrysalisbts
@chrysalisbts
Identify SPO Gaps
Midsize Business plan or higher for AD integration
Midsize, Enterprise E1 or higher for Yammer
Based on size and number of items
Lots of vendors, some are the same core engine
Farm solutions are not supported in Office 365
Need to know what is in the farm, and where they are being used, to create a remediation plan
App Store is rich with many solutions
@chrysalisbts
•
– Out of date
– Duplicated
– Difficult to find
•
– delete/archive/migrate triage
– reorganization
– tagging with metadata
Real world content
@chrysalisbts
Plan: Decision Points
• Where will the content go?– Web Applications
– Site Collections
– Sites
– Pages
– Libraries
• What will the content do?– Policy Management
– Business Process
– Search ability
– Metadata
• Communicate and Train!

Solutions
@chrysalisbts
Use OneDrive For Business
• Migrate your MySite and personal files
Personal Sites must be created first before you migrate
Bulk migration requires an account to be added to the personal sites
Use PowerShell to add a migration account to the admin group for individual personal sites
Remove when done with migration
Bulk Site creation is available through CSOM API

Migrate your Service Applications First
Steps to migration
@chrysalisbts
Service Apps
Online• Search
– Consider Hybrid Search
• MMS– You want to consider 3rd party
tools
• BCS– You need Hybrid environment
• PerformancePoint– PowerBI, PowerView
• User Profile– AD Sync
On-premises• Search
– Consider Hybrid Search
• MMS, Secure Store, BCS, PerformancePoint, User Profile– Consider DB Upgrade
@chrysalisbts
• The migration to the cloud must be performed remotely
• User identities are different
Migration considerations
@chrysalisbts
• Do you really want to migrate?
• Use OOB if possible
• Rebuild if needed
• Test against trial content
• Finalize and lock down code deployment
Execute: Code Migration
@chrysalisbts
• Triage your content
• Assess
• Reconfigure your scripts/strategy
• Try again
• Follow your Plan
• Divide and Conquer
• Delta Migration
Execute: Content Migration
@chrysalisbts
NO migration is 100% success
Execute: Content Migration
@chrysalisbts
• Assess your content
• Re-run migration for missing content
• How is the current state performing/growing?
– Storage
– Security
– Performance
– Event Log
Assess: Action Points
@chrysalisbts
• What is your disaster recovery plan?
– SPO, No action
– On-Premises, Plan and implement a DR site
• Turn off old farm, but do not kill it
• What are our growth metrics?
• How we will manage issue tracking and support?
Sustain: Action Points
