About Me

The Most Important Thing

Do not simply upgrade your existing environment and call it a day!

Why Migrate to Office 365/2013?

• Content type publishing

• Improved Managed Metadata

• Better support for rich media categorization

• Search improvements and Display Templates

• New Column Types

• Yammer Integration

• Office 365: Evergreen Platform

Special Considerations with Office 365

• It is an evergreen platform

• Interface customizations (e.g. master pages)

• Hybrid scenarios for specific situations

• Workflow

What Hasn’t Changed?

• Content types are unchanged from 2010

• Associating content types to lists/libraries remains unchanged

• Other than the managed metadata columns, the provided columns are unchanged

• The same process used to generate 2007/2010 information architectures is still utilized for 2013

Benefits of Past Implementation

• Allows reflection of what did and didn’t work

• Eases training to end users

• Content analysis is more structured

• Logging is provided to improve areas like search

IA Design Approach

• Conduct user research

• Watch user’s workflow and experience with the existing system

• Run content type audits and pre migration scans

• Conduct content analysis

• Identify, remove and consolidate information with a ROT (redundant, outdated, trivial) analysis

• Analytics and search logs analysis

IA Design Approach

• Managed Metadata• Identify 2007 columns that can be moved to term store

• Allow interviews and keywords analysis to determine where term set augmentation is needed

• Help client structure term store

• Use enterprise keywords if not already

• Use new MMS features such as pinning and reuse

• Identify any additional list, library or site templates necessary for content categorization
