 2011 Wrap Up  Predictions  Cloud  Social Communications  Governance  SQL 2012 Denali  Next Wave of SharePoint  3 rd Party Products to Watch in 2012 Agenda

 Office 365 will make slow, steady progress  Historically, the level of functionality SP Online has lagged in on-premise version  Lag is closing – expect next version of Office & SP to deliver same functions at the same time in the cloud or locally  Prediction: Functions begin to debut in the Office 365 cloud before making there way into on premises versions later “The Cloud”

 Prediction: Demand for users to adopt Personal Content “PCM” to aggregate & classify their own information will increase. Extremely large SP sites can start to feel anonymous, & a personal voice is needed to avoid feeling lost Social Communication  SP has improved social networking but lacks maturity  Organizations will likely avoid jumping in with two feet – lack of governance-aware tools  Third party ISVs will play a crucial role in extending SP social functions and governance

 Double digit growth for 2011  New users will require care, channeling, guidance and oversight  Governance is not management – it’s the answer to the questions about how and why SharePoint is managed  Prediction- Forward-thinking end customers requiring application developers to create applications that integrate prebuilt solutions to improve manageability, governance and portability, all of which can pose challenges with custom solutions.  Largest Challenge – Business Intelligence, Social Networking and Taxonomies Governance

Internet Sites Go to SharePoint  An increase will occur due to the ability of SharePoint to:  Make authoring simple with SharePoint Ribbon and Multilingual User Interface  Easy publishing with multistage disposition and workflow templates  Compelling online experience by building online communities and a powerful, interactive search  Rich web applications that develop sandboxed solutions with familiar tools including SharePoint Designer 2010 and Visual Studio 2010  Manage unified infrastructure that takes advantage of metadata management and streamlined central administration for handling administrative tasks on a shared service across multiple farms

 Microsoft will rollout SQL2012 in March  New Release: Improved self service report system & Power View.  Power View- logical extension to Power Pivot and Excel (If you can set up a data model in Excel, you can make it easy for users to build their own reports)  Prediction: May only be important for enterprises that already have used SP BI tools; they most likely will wait until “SharePoint 15” to take advantage of the enhancements to data and report based alerts, self-service BI and Power Pivot. SQL 2012 Denali

Next Wave of SharePoint  More organizations will consider SP consolidation due to SP 2010 proven to handle extremely large content pools – (Terabytes)  Enterprises will look to aggregate legacy ECM platforms and divisional SP “islands” into unified applications  Users want to move away from both big iron ECM platforms with high support costs and “open” platforms with limited scalability and compliance capabilities  Organizations move to develop Second Wave Functions -  Project Management  Business Intelligence  Workflows  SharePoint practitioners will need to translate user requirements beyond IT due to more business-driven projects  Success will require the ability to translate needs of CFO’s, CMOs and PMOs
