”It takes us 6 weeks to get something updated due our release model with FTC”Change
it!
If this is not what you’re looking for, change the model – the product doesn’t require it
ApproachHow the transformation was approached?
How?
There is no 1-to-1 match
Concentrate on business requirement, not how it’s technically achieved…
“I really cannot help you if you don’t have the requirements
collected”It’s pointless to concentrate on servers
and code, if we don’t know what they are for…
Cost vs. Gain vs. Pain
Simplicity first…Gradually add new capabilities after initial CAM release…
Understand the long term impact of the customizations to the platform…
Project phases – gradual change management

Consistent cleaned branding experience
OneDrive for Business branding
Intranet front page (mock up) Specific capabilities
Fully personalized front page experience based on organization and location information in user profile
JavaScript as driving technology to provide personalized experiences Provide same personalized capabilities
as with server side code, but by using alternative approaches
Page layout based design
Demo
Walking through the functionalities and approaches for “Camification”
MigrationOften overlooked, but important and time consuming phase…How do we convert existing sites and
content?
Challenge?Existing sites are dependent on full trust code…
Gradual reduction to FTC dependency from page layouts and master pages
Implemented as remote operation to control the used elements on sites
Replace page layouts and master pages
Remote operation to replace web parts on page Replace with pre-configured out of the box web parts Replace with App part instances Embedded JavaScript
App part installation requires enabling of app side loading in the site Can be enabled only on the needed time by using
CSOM with feature activations
Replacement of web parts and controls
If created declaratively using feature framework, no known solution currently If created using code, no actual
dependencies on FTC code or farm solutions
There is work being done on providing a solution to remove the dependency
Site columns and content types
\\15\Templates\Features\FeatureA
Content database
WSP package
Configuration database
Content Type A
Content Type B
Content Type C
<<has reference in manifest.xml>>
XML
<<Provisioned content types And site columns
have dependency on element xml files>> Feature with
element files for content type and
site column defintion
No matching solution as such in CAM side Scheduling can be done using any external
platform Access to SP as using CSOM/REST
Timer jobs
Custom fields types Custom site definitions Moving from publishing
to non-publishing sites
Case of a bad headache?
Will require full migration project…

Recap – Business value for customer
Cloud ReadyAgility for business Cost efficiency
Customize for business value
Key takeaways
Remember to consider content, not just the functionality…
Lot of proven patterns, it’s not just web part to app part discussions…
You should not compare FTC and CAM as one to one…
