ECM 104 - Case Study: Intermountain Healthcare's Employee Intranet and Physician Extranet Providing an engaging and highly adopted enterprise portal for an audience of over 33000 employees and thousands of clinicians is an ongoing challenge. It is a careful balancing act to maintain a consistent look and feel, to integrate content from outside the portal, and make the experience easy to use for a broad audience. Intermountain Healthcare, a Utah-based healthcare leader, over the course of 10 years continues to provide an award-winning employee Intranet and Physician extranet that has engaged users throughout their organization. Learn the challenges and lessons learned as it relates to content authoring, content sharing across environments, search, integrating social components, and branding. Attendees will leave the session with ideas on how to improve their own corporate web sites and considerations when planning an enterprise Intranet or Extranet.

eBusiness Governance How we manage SharePoint for 33,000 employees and thousands of other customers
9
User Experience
10
It’s hard to govern without a governor. “A slave with three masters is a free man.” Proverb of Roman law
11
At Intermountain, the eBusiness Group “owns” our websites. Owning our web properties with an eye towards the consumer’s comprehensive experience with us. Overall accountability to the organization for the value of those properties.
12
Governance Model eBusiness eBusiness Analysts eBusiness Developers eBusiness Directors Partners Communications Content Authors Site Owners
13
“Above the line” Standard header and global navigation Standard site navigation style Site Provisioning Standard library of page templates/layouts/content types Federated search Standard style sheets for web parts and content (i.e. links list, document libraries, etc.)
14
“Below the line” Site owners build, name and add pages to their navigation. Choose a page layout-one column or two. Place web parts from a standard library on their pages as needed Enter content into web parts with really easy authoring tools. -No HTML enabled! -No site admin access for content contributors
15
SharePoint Sites Overview Intermountain.net Teamspace Document Center Physician Portal
16
Intermountain.net Our official employee portalemployee portal Content and services for broad consumption Easy tools for content and site management Distributed ownership within standard framework Running on SharePoint 2010, moving to 2013 Example: Human Resources Advertise and promote services offered Who to contact for what General content that makes working with HR easy
17
Team Space Small team or work group collaboration Not for broadcast Document sharing, but not real document management Limited access and membership for sites Example: Human Resources Team Spaces for the “inner workings” of HR? Spaces for specific client engagements and projects?
18
“Below the line” Collaboration sites Any employee can create on demand Not content for broadcast to the organization Limited membership by design—can’t open to all employees Standard template across all Team Spaces Completely locked down template—content only Limited services within template to keep it simple Very scaled down version of out-of-the box Team Sites
19
What our detractors said about this idea to standardize and “lock down” the collaboration service… You’re taking away all the good stuff People want to build the sites the way they want them You’re going to ruin the product There won’t be enough value for anyone to use it.
20
What our employees said after we launched Team Space… “I just have to say…I LOVE Team Space. It’s made my work so much easier. Please don’t replace it with something new and improved.” Currently over 6,000 Team Spaces Very low support cost ratio No interference with “above the line” message Easy to use means adoption by our non-technical audience Know your audience
21
Document Center Full document management tool Publishing workflows with approvals Check in/check out services Version history Security down to the document level Taxonomy services and collection search Example: Human Resources Storing large collections of documents for department or enterprise access
