NO. 1 ANNOYANCE WHEN SELLING
            Incorrect targeting
 Says geek to CTO/Business stakeholder “…IT can do all these
  weird and wonderful things”
 …(The Geek can‟t wait to show of f all the fancy new features
  which will „impress‟ the business stakeholder)
 ….(The Geek launches into detailed demonstration of how XYZ
  works, completely bypassing any related „business‟ benefits)
 Says stakeholder to geek “but I still don‟t understand how it‟s
  going to benefit my business – where are my cost savings?”
 The Geek seems confused, “but I just showed you how it
  works, what more do you need?”
 CTO/Business stakeholder, “but where are the real business
  benefits? What will IT do that my current system does not
  do?”…

    etc.)
 Main changes between SharePoint 2007 and SharePoint 2010
  is around internet facing sites
   With SharePoint 2007 internet facing sites, you needed to purchase
    an internet connector license for non-employees which was licensed
    at Enterprise level only, i.e. no Standard connector.
 No pricing yet available
 Important – IF upgrading then must upgrade from same
  version to equivalent version!
                                                                   Kathy Hughes

KEY UPGRADE CONSIDERATIONS

 To Upgrade now or wait
 *NO* supported upgrade paths from Beta 2 or Release
  Candidate to the RTM!
 Degree of existing SharePoint 2007 customization
 Number of open source and/or 3 rd party tools deployed
 Client-side add-ons
 Client-side applications, i.e. Of fice
   Value-add if moving to Office 2010, i.e. InfoPath Designer 2010, Visio
    Premium 2010 for SharePoint 2010 workflows, Word 2010 integrates
    well with SharePoint 2010 content type „templates‟, Excel 2010
    includes additional features like Spark lines and options for Power
    Pivot, External Content Types only integrate with Outlook 2010!
 Current security protocols in use
   SSO?
   Kerberos
   NTLM
                                                                    Kathy Hughes
MOVING FORWARD: UPGRADE PREP

 MUST be running SharePoint Server 2007 SP2 + October 2009
  CU or greater
 Run the pre-upgrade check
   Included in the SharePoint Server 2007 SP2 + October CU updates
    the pre-upgrade check STSADM command
 Backup and document all existing customizations
 Perform special backups of existing content databases
 Establish a test environment
   Mirror your existing production environment
   TEST TEST TEST
 Review any existing 3 rd party tools currently in use and check
  with vendors about upgrade plans
   This could seriously impact the timing around when you upgrade!!
 Which upgrade path works best for you?
                                                                  Kathy Hughes
UPGRADE PATHS

 In-place upgrade
   Use existing hardware
   Farm will be offline during upgrade process
   (most) Customizations will be available post-upgrade
   Farm-wide settings preserved
   This approach is recommended for small or non-productive
    environments
   There is no rollback when using an in-place upgrade – no „un-do‟
    button
   Requires a solid DR strategy
   Other reasons for in-place upgrade include where you want to
    upgrade existing SharePoint site templates, i.e. deprecated STP
    template format and upgrade to new 2010 WSP format


                                                                   Kathy Hughes
UPGRADE PATHS (CONTINUED)

 Database attach upgrade
   Detach existing 2007 databases and attach to a new 2010 farm
   No existing (2007) server farm settings will be maintained
     Requires existing settings to be documented and recreated in new
      environment
   This approach is recommended where farm level configurations are
    minimal!
     A prime example is where you have 100‟s of SharePoint audiences
      configured in your current 2007 farm and lots of content targets
      associated with those audiences. Those audiences and targets will need to
      be recreated on the destination 2010 farm.




                                                                         Kathy Hughes
POST-UPGRADE MAINTENANCE

 Visual upgrade – initially the SharePoint 2007 look and feel
  will remain until you choose to switch to the 2010 UI -
  gradual upgrade
 Some assemblies may need to be recompiled
 Timer jobs for any custom workflows may need to be
  recompiled
 Check any pre-existing site templates, i.e. the STP format is
  deprecated in 2010 and replaced by WSP format
 Check any custom themes – 2007 themes are deprecated in
  2010 though 2007 themes are installed on 2010 WFE for
  legacy purposes
   Won‟t work once you switch the UI to 2010 look and feel
 Any existing queries which query greater than 5000 items will
  fail and you will need to modify those queries
 3 rd party upgrades – check with vendors
                                                              Kathy Hughes
MOVING FORWARD: PLAN OF ATTACK

 Infrastructure – server and OS levels
 People – get key stakeholders involved
 Training – identify levels of training, i.e. developer if in -house
  development
 Add-ons – carry any existing add -ons over or add new ones
 Support – in-house or outsourced / training
 Hosted or On Premise
     SharePoint Online (licensing)
     Costs for hosting
     Customizations allowed by host – SPD, DLLs, Custom Web Parts
     On Premise costs
       IT Support
       Service Packs
 Development – in-house or outsource
 Design – in-house or outsource
                                                                     Kathy Hughes

LICENSING!  SharePoint 2010 comes in Three flavours:  SharePoint Foundation 2010 (AKA Windows SharePoint Services 3.0)  Included as part of Windows Server 2008  SQL Express limitations, 4GB storage  SQL Express (Advanced Services) with SQL 2008 R2 – 10GB  SharePoint Server 2010 Standard  SharePoint Server 2010 Enterprise (InfoPath Services, Visio Services, etc.)  Main changes between SharePoint 2007 and SharePoint 2010 is around internet facing sites  With SharePoint 2007 internet facing sites, you needed to purchase an internet connector license for non-employees which was licensed at Enterprise level only, i.e. no Standard connector.  No pricing yet available  Important – IF upgrading then must upgrade from same version to equivalent version! Kathy Hughes
  • 20. KEY UPGRADE CONSIDERATIONS  To Upgrade now or wait  *NO* supported upgrade paths from Beta 2 or Release Candidate to the RTM!  Degree of existing SharePoint 2007 customization  Number of open source and/or 3 rd party tools deployed  Client-side add-ons  Client-side applications, i.e. Of fice  Value-add if moving to Office 2010, i.e. InfoPath Designer 2010, Visio Premium 2010 for SharePoint 2010 workflows, Word 2010 integrates well with SharePoint 2010 content type „templates‟, Excel 2010 includes additional features like Spark lines and options for Power Pivot, External Content Types only integrate with Outlook 2010!  Current security protocols in use  SSO?  Kerberos  NTLM Kathy Hughes
  • 21. MOVING FORWARD: UPGRADE PREP  MUST be running SharePoint Server 2007 SP2 + October 2009 CU or greater  Run the pre-upgrade check  Included in the SharePoint Server 2007 SP2 + October CU updates the pre-upgrade check STSADM command  Backup and document all existing customizations  Perform special backups of existing content databases  Establish a test environment  Mirror your existing production environment  TEST TEST TEST  Review any existing 3 rd party tools currently in use and check with vendors about upgrade plans  This could seriously impact the timing around when you upgrade!!  Which upgrade path works best for you? Kathy Hughes
  • 22. UPGRADE PATHS  In-place upgrade  Use existing hardware  Farm will be offline during upgrade process  (most) Customizations will be available post-upgrade  Farm-wide settings preserved  This approach is recommended for small or non-productive environments  There is no rollback when using an in-place upgrade – no „un-do‟ button  Requires a solid DR strategy  Other reasons for in-place upgrade include where you want to upgrade existing SharePoint site templates, i.e. deprecated STP template format and upgrade to new 2010 WSP format Kathy Hughes
  • 23. UPGRADE PATHS (CONTINUED)  Database attach upgrade  Detach existing 2007 databases and attach to a new 2010 farm  No existing (2007) server farm settings will be maintained  Requires existing settings to be documented and recreated in new environment  This approach is recommended where farm level configurations are minimal!  A prime example is where you have 100‟s of SharePoint audiences configured in your current 2007 farm and lots of content targets associated with those audiences. Those audiences and targets will need to be recreated on the destination 2010 farm. Kathy Hughes
  • 24. POST-UPGRADE MAINTENANCE  Visual upgrade – initially the SharePoint 2007 look and feel will remain until you choose to switch to the 2010 UI - gradual upgrade  Some assemblies may need to be recompiled  Timer jobs for any custom workflows may need to be recompiled  Check any pre-existing site templates, i.e. the STP format is deprecated in 2010 and replaced by WSP format  Check any custom themes – 2007 themes are deprecated in 2010 though 2007 themes are installed on 2010 WFE for legacy purposes  Won‟t work once you switch the UI to 2010 look and feel  Any existing queries which query greater than 5000 items will fail and you will need to modify those queries  3 rd party upgrades – check with vendors Kathy Hughes
  • 25. MOVING FORWARD: PLAN OF ATTACK  Infrastructure – server and OS levels  People – get key stakeholders involved  Training – identify levels of training, i.e. developer if in -house development  Add-ons – carry any existing add -ons over or add new ones  Support – in-house or outsourced / training  Hosted or On Premise  SharePoint Online (licensing)  Costs for hosting  Customizations allowed by host – SPD, DLLs, Custom Web Parts  On Premise costs  IT Support  Service Packs  Development – in-house or outsource  Design – in-house or outsource Kathy Hughes
