3. Six New SharePoint POC Offerings
4. Enterprise Content Management POC
SharePoint 2013 delivers core content management capabilities in a single, extensible platform. These capabilities are
central to the SharePoint platform and provide a consistent approach to managing traditional content (Word, Excel,
PowerPoint, PDF), Web content, and social content (blogs, wikis). By taking an integrated approach to Enterprise Content
Management (ECM), SharePoint 2013 can reduce the need to maintain multiple systems and develop costly integration
solutions.
The eDiscovery functionality in SharePoint Server 2013
provides improved ways to help you protect your business
including eDiscovery queries across multiple SharePoint farms
and Exchange servers, non-disruptive in-place preservation of
documents and email, and support for exporting those
documents and email messages. Atidan’s Planning & POC will
address these core topics:






Social Interaction
Document Set Management
eDiscovery
Records Center
Enterprise MetaData Management
Search Visualization
5. Web Content Management POC
Web content management is a better experience in SharePoint Server 2013. Not only can content authors cut and paste
content directly from Word and have the resulting semantically correct HTML markup display in the styles that were
defined by the site designer, but site owners and designers can now customize the global and current navigation menus
by dragging and dropping menu items directly on the page.
There are many new features that improve video and image handling, as well as inserting page external components via
iframes using industry standard web development. Other powerful new features in SharePoint Server 2013 include Topic
Pages for easily managing and presenting catalog information, tight integration with the native search engine and
improved multi-lingual support. In addition, SharePoint 2013 supports many new mobile computing capabilities like device
channels to target content to specific display platforms, a new geolocation data type and push notifications. Atidan’s
Planning and POC will address:



Easy Content Authoring & Management
Targeted User Experiences
Search As Content Provider
Managed Navigation
Content Re-Use
Multi-Lingual Support

Office applications and other Microsoft technologies.

SharePoint 2013, PerformancePoint Services in SharePoint

and Microsoft SQL Server. Atidan’s Planning and POC will

Powerview and PowerPivot

7. Social POC
Social computing isn’t just a new set of tools – it’s a new way of thinking about organizations. It’s about putting people at
the center of the organization and ensuring that customers, employees, partners can connect with the people and
information that they need to actually get their work done.
The social computing and collaboration features in SharePoint Server 2013 and Yammer offer an improved administration
and user experience, in addition to new functionality for enterprise users to share and collaborate with others in their
organization. The introduction of Community Sites offers a forum experience to categorize discussions around subject
areas, and connect users who have knowledge or seek
knowledge about subject areas. Improvements to My Sites
offer a more intuitive workflow for users to develop their
personal profiles, store content, and keep up-to-date with
activities of interest. Atidan’s Planning and POC will focus
on:





Yammer
Personal Sites
Team & Project Sites
Communities
Integration

5. 8. Search POC
Search in SharePoint Server 2013 is a single unified platform that combines an integrated, easy-to-manage query and
data integration platform with native integration of the best-of-breed core enterprise search technology to give users the
ability to find the content, information, and people they need.
New Search features in SharePoint Server 2013 make it easier for you to locate more relevant information and find
colleagues quickly and efficiently. And now, user behavior influences the relevance of documents, bringing more popular
results to the top of the list over time. Other key improvements include search UI changes that allow you to look into the
search results with a simple roll-over instead of having to click into the document, as well as powerful new ways to
process Query Rules and Results Sets.
9. SharePoint Apps Planning
The new apps model for SharePoint provides a new method to deliver specific information or functionality to a SharePoint
site. An app for SharePoint is a small, easy-to-use, stand-alone app that solves a specific end-user or business need.
Site owners can discover and download apps for SharePoint from a public SharePoint Store or from their organization's
internal App Catalog and install them on their SharePoint sites. These apps for SharePoint integrate the best of the web
with SharePoint 2013. They do not replace SharePoint features and solution packages, which customize or enhance
SharePoint sites.
Unlike features and solutions, which farm or site collection administrators
have to install, apps for SharePoint are stand-alone applications that owners
of sites can add to their SharePoint sites. The apps for SharePoint have a
simple lifecycle - they can be installed, upgraded, and uninstalled by site
owners. Atidan’s Planning engagement will focus on:


The new Apps model
