Tactical Governance Planning for a Hybrid Environment
What I’ll cover today:
• Governance definitions• Microsoft’s move into the cloud and
how it impacts your world• Various flavors of hybrid SharePoint
and their governance concerns• How to jumpstart your planning
What does governance look like
inside of your organization?
Draft Outline of presentation
Governance is about taking action to help your team organize, optimize, and manage your systems and resources.
What is driving SharePoint into the cloud?

Organizing for the Cloud
What is driving cloud adoption?
Data anytime, anywhere.
It’s all about self-service.
Bring your own device.
Everything is social.
Built for the business user, not IT.
A professionally managed data center with 24x7 support and advanced network security and intrusion detection.
No need to worry about network and server hardware and software.
Rapid provisioning with little or no upfront costs for hardware and software.
Identity management for external users, multiple security options.
On-demand scale-out to meet variable capacity demands.
Advantages of the Cloud
Microsoft in the Cloud
Office 365 and SharePoint Online
Microsoft’s solution for Cloud based collaboration
Includes SharePoint, Yammer, Exchange, Lync, Office Suite, etc.
Businesses collaborate from virtually anywhere
World-class hosting and reliability
Avoid overhead in managing your own infrastructure
Is there risk in moving my data to the
cloud?
According to a 2013 Forbes survey:
of workers used an unsanctioned cloud service for document storage in the last 6 months41%
87%$1.8
of these workers knew their company had policies forbidding such practices
(billion) estimated annual cost to remedy the data loss

• The cloud decision is intrinsically tied to end user adoption and, ultimately, business alignment
What are the differences between SaaS, PaaS, and Iaas?
Alternatives for control, cost, & capability
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
(network architects)
Software as a Service (SaaS)(end users)
Platform as a Service (PaaS)(app developers and designers)
Standardized (packaged) platform Provided with Service Level Agreements
(SLAs) Minimal customization Both software and hardware infrastructure
provided within the service
Software as a Service
Architectural and development access to application services, storage, and application runtime
Infrastructure Service Level Agreements (SLAs), but work must be conducted within agreed framework
Some customizations allowed, within framework
Both software and hardware infrastructure provided within the service
Platform as a Service
Virtualized hardware and software, including servers, storage, and network infrastructure
All components delivered as metered services (pay per use)
Complete application control and customization
Infrastructure as a Service
What is the difference between public and private cloud?
Infrastructure maintained solely for customer
On premises or off
Managed by the customer, or by a 3rd party hoster
Private Cloud Hybrid Cloud
Multiple infrastructure options
Components both on premises and off premises
Management spread between customer and 3rd party hosters
Infrastructure shared by multiple customers
Off premises
Managed by 3rd party on behalf of customers
Public Cloud

SharePoint has become a place to
surface information
What about my existing investment in SharePoint?
Most SharePoint deployments have included customizations to meet critical business needs User Management & Administration
Security and Compliance
Auditing, Reporting, Alerting
User Adoption, Records
Branding, etc…
Consider the business problems you’ve already invested in solving

Decommission
• Perform regular security checks across your farm, down to the document level
• Proactively review, delete, and reassign user permissions as needed
• Clean up users who are no longer in Active Directory but are in SharePoint
• Review SharePoint groups• Have a process to backup and restore
permissions• Document site permissions (roles) so that
its easier to duplicate for new employees
Managing your SharePoint Permissions
• Monitor and track the growth of sites for better
planning, especially with migrations• Analyze web part usage to determine
which sites are using which web parts• Understand and manage SharePoint features• Ensure consistent branding and behavior:
site themes, quotas, regional settings
Administrating your Content & Storage
• Analyze activity down to the site, page, document level
• Identify who is accessing which documents, including
details on that activity (i.e. checking in a document, editing a document, or just viewing a document’s properties)
• Isolate sites that are no longer needed and delete them
• Compare activity from the past to help anticipate the future
• Find sites with the most or least activity
Tracking your Usage and Activity trends
• Proactively manage architecture of your site collections, sites, lists, libraries, folders and items within your farm or across farms
• Have a plan for moving content and structure from test environment to production environment
• Understand impacts due to architectural changes or business changes
Maintaining strong Change Management
What are some of the common cloud scenarios for SharePoint?
You can deploy SharePoint 2013 solutions on physical and virtual infrastructures, which include the following environments:• On-premises, physical or virtual• Private cloud (in-house)• Private cloud (hosted)• Public cloud
Rapid provisioning of new workloads on Office 365 while maintaining existing on-premises workloads
Organizations wishing to migrate workloads from an existing on-premises environment to the cloud over time in a phased approach
Organizations wanting to supplement their cloud environment with additional features or customizations which are currently only possible on-premises
Compliance or data sovereignty reasons which might stipulate certain data be hosted in a particular location

SP2013 and SPO Hybrid Considerations• Size and geographical distribution of an organization can affect cloud
adoption.
• Regulatory compliance and governance requirements can limit cloud options.
• External collaboration may require on prem farms.
• Service-level agreements (SLAs) may limit cloud options.
• It is important to under the ROI of any proposed solution (and the cost of change).
• Hybrid may be more of a transitional environment from on prem to the cloud.
• Enables customers to use preferred features from SharePoint 2013 on prem and SharePoint Online.

Factors in your cloud planning

As SharePoint and Office 365 mature, they will be broken into their core services.
Through OTB tools, APIs and 3rd party vendor solutions, organizations will be able to consume via a truly IaaS model.
Eventually, we will design solutions using only those components needed to meet business requirements, many of them accessed via the app model or other customized solutions.
Requires firm understanding of your requirements and your current, and future, employee skillsets.

The future of SharePoint…
Business Need Service
GOVERNANCE
Governance is the set of policies, roles, responsibilities, and processes that guide, direct, and control how an organization's business divisions and IT teams cooperate to achieve business goals.
Take a strategic view
Understand your changing requirementsUnderstand which workloads can be moved now, and which will require more platform and cloud infrastructure maturityUnderstand and mitigate governance risks
Identify requirements
Map requirements to SharePoint functionality
Make the difficult decisions
Ongoing operations management
Business Need Service
What is required? What can be automated? Who manages each site, site collection, and farm? Do the standards change across them? What roles and permissions are in place? How transparent does it need to be? What is our ongoing change management and
review model?
Ask yourself:
Make governance a priority
Look at your systems holistically (a business view), regardless of where the servers sit
Clarify and document your permissions, information architecture, templates, content types, taxonomy -- and ownership of each
First define what policies, procedures, and metrics are needed to manage your environment, and then look at what is possible across your various tools and platforms
