YOU SHOULD! And this is why…


Current Business Environment

million jobs have been lost ~ BLS

*50% of businesses fail in the first 5
years ~ SBA

*Over the lifetime of a business:
• 39% are profitable
• 30% break even
• 30% lose money ~ NFIB Study


Project Statistics

Overall project failure rates vary
• From 33% to 67%
• Even a 1 in 3 failure rate is totally unacceptable

ACM Article (1)

– 25% of projects fail along multiple axes
– Any more than one change in project
management leads to 50% risk of under
performance
– Risk of under-performance is closely
correlated to effort (person-months).

Fatal Mistake #1
Not defining a complete roadmap for your
SharePoint environment
• SharePoint 2010 is a disrupting technology and will have a
major impact on your overall IT strategy. Ignoring a well
defined roadmap will result into a bad IT strategy.

- Fastest growing product in
Microsoft’s history to reach $1B
in sales
- ERP for unstructured data
- Touches all aspects of your IT
strategy


Fatal Mistake #1
• Not leveraging the features of SharePoint to the fullest will
result into high maintenance costs, duplicate technologies
for end users, and lower productivity for end users

- Web Content Management
- Document Management
- Custom Applications
- Social Networking
- Extranet
- Enterprise search
- Business Intelligence

Fatal Mistake #1
For instance:
• Not considering the Business Intelligence capabilities of
SharePoint could result into multiple systems and having a
disintegrated system for end users

•Not considering the new FAST search
would mean not providing advanced
findability capabilities and missing out
on Search apps


Fatal Mistake #2
Failing to completely analyze your current
environment and prepare a migration plan
• Risky migration approach with vendors and internal staff
providing migration estimates that do not accurately scope
the project. Can result into a failed migration.
- Technical Analysis
- Usage Analysis
- Governance
- Requirements Queue
- Search and Retrieval

Risky Migration


Fatal Mistake #2

• Unable to determine the timeline and budget for migration
resulting into missed expectations with your end users

- Site Collection Sizes
- Security Policies
- Taxonomy / Meta data Management
- Search
- Customizations
- Operations


Fatal Mistake #2
For instance:
• Performance issues and data restore issues with your large
site collections
• Third Party web parts deployed on some WFEs and not on
all WFEs (Surprise!)

Do this, so you don’t end up
here


Fatal Mistake #3
Relying completely on the results of the Sharepoint pre-
upgrade checker

• Utility provided by Microsoft to assess your environment and
its readiness for migration
- Hardware readiness
- Database readiness
- List of customizations

For Instance:
•Require SharePoint 2007 SP2 service pack
•Need to upgrade to 64 bit machines


Fatal Mistake #3
Relying completely on the results of the SharePoint pre-
upgrade checker
• Excellent starting point but should not be the only thing in
your bag of tricks
• Could lead to a non-functional SharePoint environment
leading to lost productivity, wasted money, time and human
resources by the business.

- Known and unknown
customizations
- Undocumented things done by
administrators and end users


Fatal Mistake #3
Relying completely on the results of the SharePoint pre-
upgrade checker

• Could lead to critical data being lost after migration is
performed.

• Unable to migrate a site
collection due to a missing
custom feature
• Partial migration of the
Mysites due to missing third
party web parts


Fatal Mistake #4
Failing to re-architect prior to migration
• Involves looking at your overall SharePoint environment
and ensuring that the roadmap that is defined fits with the
overall architecture and using the new features of
SharePoint to implement them

- Farm Architecture
- Information Architecture
- Taxonomy Architecture
- Search Architecture
- Operations Architecture
- Governance Architecture

Fatal Mistake #4
Can cause your team to:
- Miss Technical improvements
- Miss Operational improvements
- Miss Process improvements

- Replace custom features with
OOTB features
- Plan and enable new features that
come with SharePoint 2010
- Develop new customizations to
meet business requirements

Fatal Mistake #4

Common questions regarding re-architecture:
• Deep Site Collections vs. Wide Site Collections
• Having Extranet and Intranet in the same farm
• Working with large digital content (Video)

- Deep vs. Wide - Intranet and Extranet
- Few site collections hosting intranet, - Separate Active Directory to manage
collaboration, and document users
management - Leveraging the use of the DMZ
- Use of SharePoint groups and AD - Better administrative functions
groups
- Search Scopes
- Small or large Taxonomy


Fatal Mistake #5
Not analyzing the customizations in detail

- Custom Templates

- Custom Workflows

- Custom Applications

- Custom Search

- Custom Web Parts

- Custom Features


Fatal Mistake #5

• Root cause of delays in migration. Not having a complete
handle on the customizations can result into costly delays
and an unstable environment.
• Prepare a list of customizations, analyze and test the
customizations and perform appropriate changes
• Site Definitions
• Third Party Web Parts
• Workflows
• Line Of Business Applications
• Custom Features


Fatal Mistake #5

• Multiple file delete function in a document library
• Taxonomy Management application

- Multiple file delete is an OOTB
feature. Remove the
customization
- Replace components of the
taxonomy management
application with OOTB features


Fatal Mistake #6
Trying to cut corners by using an inexpensive third
party migration tool

• Assist with content migration
• Assist with customization migration

- Date / Time stamps preserved
- Created By / Modified By
preserved
- Deleted users cleaned
- Merge and split of site collections
and sites
- Merge and split of libraries
- Customization migration

Fatal Mistake #6

• Often ignore the learning curve required for the third
party tool
• Migration Tools themselves require customizations at time
to support specific needs
- Ability to take folder names and
turn them into site columns

Don’t be this guy


Fatal Mistake #6

- Several HR Site collections
exist that are spread across
the farm. Need to combine
them into a single site
collection

- Customer Site collection too
big, need to break it into
multiple site collections

Fatal Mistake #7
Failing to Conduct a Test Migration
• Most important step prior to preparing your final
migration plan. Without this, the project plans will not be
final
• The credibility of your business hangs in the balance here!
The incorrect scoping that can result will likely mean costly
project delays.

- Untested migration scripts
- Non functional content
migration tool
- Time it takes to migrate


Fatal Mistake #7
Failing to Conduct a Test Migration

• Verify your plan
• Verify your assumptions
• Validate your tools
• Ensure you have the right team with the required skills

- Incomplete test scripts
- Lack of co-ordination with the
server group for hardware
- Availability of end users for testing
of the migrated content
