Organizations considering a move to the cloud are engaged in an ongoing struggle between maintaining local control over security, functionality, and manageability or sacrificing local control to capitalize on the myriad of benefits cloud computing offers. Understandably, this can make it difficult to determine if or when a SharePoint on-premises and SharePoint Online hybrid solution will really provide value. Join Perficient as we explore several optimal hybrid solution scenarios, and the benefits that can be realized by designing and implementing a solution that encompasses the best of both worlds.

9. Methodology
Approach to Problem Solving
Start With the Need:
• Get the user to tell you the problem, not the solution
• Easy to jump into the technology, but don’t
• If you cannot explain why a user is asking for this, then you don’t know enough
Eliciting Requirements:
• Requirements can start only after you understand the needs
• When you hear “requirements” it’s hard not to think about this big, formal list
• Think of real people doing real things – personas and scenarios
• No one format is correct
• Use tools to help capture and validate the requirements with the users

10. Methodology
Solving Problems with Consistency
Waterfall
• Good for estimation when you need to know how long and how much
Ongoing Management Strategies
• Evolution of a solution is just as important as its construction
Agile
• Good for ongoing evolution of products
• Requires constant communication with users

11. SharePoint Hybrid
A hybrid SharePoint deployment can prove to be a useful deployment
scenario when looking to run certain workloads in SharePoint Online, but
maintain others running in a SharePoint on-premises deployment as part of a
longer term migration strategy or otherwise.
Microsoft has three topologies for SharePoint hybrid solutions:
– One-way outbound
– One-way inbound
– Two-way bidirectional
What is SharePoint Hybrid?
