…but we do believe that Microsoft has got a couple of things quite right with Sharepoint 2013…

…we love technology, but we also start to realize how critical Social Readiness will be for succesful adoption in organizations…

OUR SIMPLISTIC APPROACH

Built & test innovation community

sites in Sharepoint

2013

Tenant of 25 seats

Sign up for Office 365 Enterprise

Trial

WHAT THEY GOT ‘QUITE RIGHT’

Office integration Mobile Open App store

Social & Collaborative Cloud

Build your own site easily

All of this worked almost bug-free during our trial period. If we should bitch about a couple of things: tag cloud display was on/off, profile picture changes took long, some site views on iPhone and iPad were flawed…

WHO ARE OUR COMMUNITIES, WHAT DO THEY DO AND WHAT DO THEY NEED?

we were positively surprised how straightforward these sites could be created in SP13:- lots of plug&play and drag&drop…- App store as a great and open resource

Creating sites with appealing social, collaborative and plug-in features (iframes) can be learned quickly and can be performed by beginner and medium-skilled sharepoint editors.

APP STORE – OPEN & VARIED, PLUG & PLAY

EXAMPLES OF SITES WE BUILT

Hi, and welcome to the new Idea Web! Down here you can read latest innovation news…

We found that i-frame embedding of short tutorial clips creates a great response with test users…

Tiles enable captivating overviews over idea categories and on-going discussion activity

Gamification through top-contributor performance bars

Widgets to corresponding innovation content on major social media

IDEA CATEGORY DISCUSSION BOARD

RSS-feeds from external blogs with category-related content

WELCOME AND CODE OF CONDUCT

GLOBAL ASSAY COMMUNITY SITE

Hi, and welcome to the GaCom site! Over here you can follow the newsfeed…

ANNOUNCING SEMINARS, NEWSLETTERS AND DISCUSSING TECHNOLOGY

INNOVATION OFFICE DEPARTMENT SITE

department newsfeed, instead of e-mails!

Document repository and collaboration: *one place, one version*

Idea discussion board…

I-frame linking to external content

MOBILE VERSIONS We tested iPhone and iPad

Worked almost flawlessly

Some site views were bugged and did not win a beauty contest – yet…

But OK, considering that we work in a free beta version

iPad: Oops, were did the i-frame go?

iPhone: screen section displayed is a bit small …

?

CONCLUSION All in all this was a great first experience!

We are especially intrigued about: the social & collaborative features the ease with which we can build our own social sites

It seems Sharepoint 2013 is (almost) ready for today’s enterprise organizations

The question is: are today’s organizations ready for Sharepoint 2013 and similar social platforms?

The key will be digital profficiency on the individual, functional and enterprise level – adoption will be the big challenge!

SITES, BLOGS AND COMMUNITIES WE FOUND USEFUL TO SHARE EXPERIENCES ON SHAREPOINT 2013

GO BUILD AND HAVE FUN!
