Sofmart’s Analytical Advantage


Let’s Get Into It…


SharePoint 2013 and the Consumerization of IT
Today there are ongoing trends in business that are driving consumer or end user
expectations within the workplace.

Trends such as cloud readiness, social collaboration, and mobility are all driving end user
adoption of technology platforms such as SharePoint.

Without us keeping up with these trends end user adoption suffers.

Today we will learn about how the SharePoint 2013 ecosystem is paving the way for end
user experience and innovation while addressing today's top trends in business.

Changes in SharePoint 2013 licensing will also be addressed.


What’s Consumerization of I.T. really mean?


CIO update says,

Consumerization is driven by the end user who is taking
technology innovation into their own hands, outside of the
influence of the IT organization, and buying their own devices,
procuring their own service subscriptions, installing their own
applications, and finding creative ways to connect to the
corporate network -- all without your approval or knowledge


“Consumerization”

Users expect to get access to personal, work,
business applications and data from any device,
anytime and anywhere.

Your end users are used to the “right now” in today’s
world of technology and applications available to
them at home

Audience Participation Please

What's your definition of social?


Is SharePoint Social?


Your users want to find information in ways that makes sense to them


SharePoint 2013 Social- New Features and
Functionality

• Community Portals


Reputation Settings:
• Will your organization use rating
for members?
• Do you find value in
achievements for your
members?
• What levels are there and how
many points do you assign to
certain actions?

There is also an option called gifted
badges. Here, you can assign
badges to a member and specify
his or her role. For example, Bob is
a SSRS expert. Now this member
with SSRS expertise can be easily
recognized by the other members:
