5. Background and why did we skip 2010?
SharePoint 2010 planning was well underway when we had to put the project on hold due to resource availability
In Sept 2011, we were still on track for a mid- to late 2012 upgrade
Then SharePoint 2013 was announced, and other projects aligned to that feature set
So rather than impact the business with two back to back upgrades, we skipped and focused on SharePoint 2013
Atypical for Micron, we prefer to wait for upgrades

6. Why did 2013 meet our needs? Document hold/e-Discovery
Reusable and more powerful workflow (e.g. workflow 1.0)
Documents have a unique document ID
Cost barrier removed

7. Significant Areas of Concern
Significant architectural changes, even from SP 2010 plans
Virtualization
Opted for virtualized farms (except for dbs); easier to scale
Consolidation
Dropping from 11 prod farms to 6; 2 enterprise, 2 site specific, 2 function specific
Storage changes to further reduce costs
Used Premier Support early in process to validate plans
Hired Microsoft Consulting to assist with some aspects
Sometimes conflicting information
