Loose Collaboration –The New Network

• Communities

• Social tagging and rating

• Traditional, undefined and implicit teams



SharePoint Communities



Tagging and Rating

• Direct access to rate a document 1-5 stars

• User driven keywords/tags and ‘I Like It’

• Can also use formal, predefined taxonomies



Undefined and implicit teams

• Discover teams through active selection of colleagues

• Discover teams through newsfeeds and activity streams

• Coalesce around tag profiles as storefronts to topic areas

• Discover new colleagues through tag and people search



Demo

Beyond the Desktop

• SharePoint Workspace

• Office Web Applications/Firefox

• Mobility Clients

• Multiuser Editing

• All Together Now



SharePoint Workspace 2010



Client/Browser Technology

• Internet Explorer 7/8, Firefox and Safari are all supported.

• IE6 is not supported, so don’t defer that upgrade!

• Most other browsers are still supported for Internet configurations

• Office 2010 includes optimizations for the new platforms

• Offline Access– 2007: used Outlook 2007 and Groove

– SharePoint Workspace 2010 integrates offline documents and lists

Office Web Applications

• SharePoint 2010 provides a server version of Office applications – Office Web Access, or “OWA”.

• Core viewing and reasonable edit functions

• Ribbon “Fluent” UI

• IE 7/8, Firefox, Safari

• Word

• Excel

• PowerPoint

• OneNote



Mobility Clients

• Phone micro browsers

• Windows Mobile Workspace

• iPod / Mobile Safari for bigger screens

– What’s missing from the AppStore?

– SharePoint OWA is the only way to get Word, Excel, and PowerPoint on the iPod



Multiuser editing

• Excel in OWA, not client

• Word/PowerPoint on client only if file opened from a shared document library

• OneNote client or OWA



Collaboration Best Practices -Locations

• Where should we collaborate? • My Site is not “Our” Site• Shared Team sites offer a single place to collaborate with

multimodal access– Remote clients– Multibrowser– Social discovery

• Its SharePoint, (singular!) not ShareFuzzySetOfOverlappingLibrariesAndSites!

• Go beyond the firewall! Extranet with claims authentication to combine FBA and Windows Logins



Collaboration Best Practices - Usage

• Asynchronous - Use the Feedback Workflow (2007 Aggregated Workflow SC Features)

• Synchronous – Use Multiedit/Multiedit View for Decentralized Workers

• Use Tags for Categories • Use Versioning for

Versions



Collaboration Best Practices -Messaging

• Every time someone emails a document from a SharePoint library, God kills a tree!

• Email a link instead!

• (Apologies to Todd Klindt and Shane Young)



All together now
