7. Intranet Trends
1. Intranets age quickly
2. Organizations have seen wave after
wave of intranet failure, renewal,
stagnancy and failure once again
3. Enterprises have higher aspirations
for their next generation of intranets
4. “Mobile” and “Social” are the
watchwords for new intranet
initiatives
5. The new intranet must be a true
network
“Products with social and mobile
capabilities are increasingly
complex to develop, manage and
maintain. The results of melding
together content management,
portal, advanced social technologies
and disciplines are hard to predict.”

23. When Should You Consider Intranet as a Service
Why
Intranet as
a service?
Your organization
structure is likely to
change and you have a
small team to maintain
your solution.
You are concerned with
upfront design and
deployment costs and
ongoing maintenance.
Budgets are tight.
You are looking to derive
value quicker and focus
on incremental
improvements rather
than a very lengthy
project.
You don’t want to have
to upgrade your
intranet every 2 years.
You don’t want to
depend on
understanding the
complex Microsoft
roadmap.
Hi and welcome to our webinar on custom build sharepoint versus ready to go intranets.
Let me quickly go over some housekeeping.
This webinar is being recorded, it should last about 45 minutes with a 15 minute Q&A session at the end
The slides and webinar recording will be emailed to all registrants after the session.
If you have questions, please send them in anytime during the webinar and we will answer at the end.
Okay, great, let’s get started. I’d like to introduce Jill Hannemann, Director of Advisory Services at Portal Solutions. Jill, would you share a little bit about yourself?
Great, thanks Daniel. Let me briefly go over the agenda then we’ll dive right in.
Great, thanks Daniel. Let me briefly go over the agenda then we’ll dive right in.
Custom SharePoint intranets have been the industry standard for years, but there is a new contender on the scene and that is the ready-to-go intranet.
Tools & Forms – typical involve enabling access to HR forms, policies, and information “How do I…?”
Corp Communications – Company-wide, team, one-to-one. “What’s going on…?”
Department sites - Specific questions answered fast – “Don’t ask me, Find it yourself…”
Project Sites – consolidated project artifacts and project data – “What the status…?”
People – easily find experience and expertise – “Who has worked on…?”
Portal/Gateway – single place to access internal systems - “What’s the web address for…?”
Key take away: enable self-service; minimize internal requests – less searching and more doing.
Jill to frame challenges and experience, what are we hearing
WE have another poll – What is the state of your intranet? Please take a moment to answer. DANIEL TO COMMENT ON RESULTS
This may change
Mostly Office 365
Talking points: Office 365 offers a great foundation and fabric to build an intranet
Disjointed and non consistent User Experience
Several disconnected workload (integration in progress), example Yammer
At the end, (Jenny) - Very compelling reasons, thanks. Jill, let’s hear your side of the story from the custom build perspective.
