Intranets & Digital Hubs With Office 365: What You Need To Know
There is a growing trend of organisations moving to “the cloud” to meet their intranet needs. While some organisations are running their Intranets “on premises,” others are considering entirely cloud-based solutions or running them on platforms like Office 365.
The question for many companies is not “should our intranet be built with Office 365?” but “how should we integrate or build our Intranets with Office 365.” This is even more true today with the emergence of new modern Intranet capabilities and continued innovation from Microsoft that must be reconciled with enterprise Intranet/Digital Workplace needs.
In this session Richard Harbridge will explore:
• The benefits Office 365 brings to an intranet...
• Where the issues and challenges lie...
• Practical guidance on when and how you can integrate Office 365 with your existing intranet today...

The MW2008 conference featured a professional forum on "What Does Openness Mean To The Museums Community?" which generated much interest. The main focus of discussion during the forum was on open content and use of Creative Commons licences, with additional discussions covering open standards and open source software. But the next step in opening up the museum sector might be the exploitation of open APIs and greater use of Software as a Service (SaaS).
What are the potential benefits which Open APIs and SaaS seek to provide? What about the associated risks in moving from an environment in which software is installed and managed either locally or by a hosting agency with formal contractual agreements to a environment in which there may be no formal agreements, the services may be hosted in different countries and governed by different legal frameworks? And at a time of global economic uncertainties is it sensible to be seeking to make use of Open APIs and SaaS at the current time?
This mini-workshop will seek to encourage open discussion and debate on these questions. The outcomes of the mini-workshop will be an awareness of ways in which open APIs and SaaS are being exploited within the sector and a better understanding of the approaches which should be taken in order to maximise the potential benefits of this approach.
Mini-Workshop: APIs- how and why [Mini-Workshop]

This document provides a summary and conclusions from a workshop on "Preparing for the Future: Technological Challenges and Beyond". It recaps the workshop which explored tools for thinking differently about the future, used a Delphi process to gather expert opinions, and developed an action brief planning template. It notes limitations in approaches and the importance of acknowledging risks while also learning from past examples. Contact details and additional resources are provided for those interested in further information.
This document discusses making a case to senior management for funding to explore innovative technologies. It provides guidance on identifying implications, risks, and risk management strategies for new technologies. It also presents an action brief statement template to convince management of a technology's potential benefits. The document concludes with an exercise where attendees in groups prepare a short presentation making a case for funding to investigate one technology.
This document discusses scenario planning as a strategic planning method. It describes the scenario planning process, which involves defining assumptions and drivers of change, developing initial scenarios, and identifying issues. The document then provides examples of scenarios for the library sector, including the effects of UK withdrawal from the EU or greater power for the European Court. Small groups are asked to develop scenarios focusing on alternative discovery sources, changed librarian roles, or other topics. Finally, the document summarizes scenarios developed in a previous workshop on commercialization of libraries, devolved ownership of services, universal skills, and niche librarians.

Coordinate Systems in FME 101 - Webinar SlidesSafe Software
If you’ve ever had to analyze a map or GPS data, chances are you’ve encountered and even worked with coordinate systems. As historical data continually updates through GPS, understanding coordinate systems is increasingly crucial. However, not everyone knows why they exist or how to effectively use them for data-driven insights.
During this webinar, you’ll learn exactly what coordinate systems are and how you can use FME to maintain and transform your data’s coordinate systems in an easy-to-digest way, accurately representing the geographical space that it exists within. During this webinar, you will have the chance to:
- Enhance Your Understanding: Gain a clear overview of what coordinate systems are and their value
- Learn Practical Applications: Why we need datams and projections, plus units between coordinate systems
- Maximize with FME: Understand how FME handles coordinate systems, including a brief summary of the 3 main reprojectors
- Custom Coordinate Systems: Learn how to work with FME and coordinate systems beyond what is natively supported
- Look Ahead: Gain insights into where FME is headed with coordinate systems in the future
Don’t miss the opportunity to improve the value you receive from your coordinate system data, ultimately allowing you to streamline your data analysis and maximize your time. See you there!
Kief Morris rethinks the infrastructure code delivery lifecycle, advocating for a shift towards composable infrastructure systems. We should shift to designing around deployable components rather than code modules, use more useful levels of abstraction, and drive design and deployment from applications rather than bottom-up, monolithic architecture and delivery.

1. Web 2.0 And The Institutional Web Brian Kelly UKOLN University of Bath Bath Email [email_address] UKOLN is supported by: http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/meetings/scottish-web-folk-2006-08/ Acceptable Use Policy Recording/broadcasting of this talk, taking photographs, discussing the content using email, instant messaging, Blogs, SMS, etc. is permitted providing distractions to others is minimised. This work is licensed under a Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 licence (but note caveat) scottish-web-folk-2006-08 tag used in del.icio.us
2. Contents Web 2.0 / E-Learning 2.0 / Library 2.0 It's great Organisational barriers Technology is immature Legal risks It's too costly … Addressing the barriers Understanding our culture Risk assessment and risk management Deployment strategies Exploiting Our Strengths The IWMC The Scottish Web Folk community
3. Web 2.0, E-Learning 2.0 & Library 2.0 We know how: Blogs allow our users to easily create content and share their views Wikis allow communities to easily collaborate in creation of content Social networking services (e.g. del.icio.us, Flickr, etc) allow communities to share resources (e.g. bookmarks, photographs, …) Syndication technologies (e.g. RSS, Atom) allow communities to be easily repurposed ('mashups') Messaging technologies (e.g. MSN, Jabber, Skype) allow people to communicate And this relates directly with our learning & teaching & research activities Web 2.0 So we will all be deploying these services within our institutions. Are we?
4. Takeup Of New Technologies The Gartner curve Developers Rising expectations Trough of despair Service plateau Enterprise software Large budgets Mainstream… Early adopters Chasm Failure to go beyond developers & early adopters (cf Gopher) Need for: Advocacy Listening to users Addressing concerns Deployment strategies … This talks looks at approaches for avoiding the chasm
5. The Barriers There are barriers to the deployment of Web 2.0: It's scary: I've just mastered CSS; we've just spend a lot of money on a CMS; … It's immature: I've heard it all before (XML, Semantic Web, …). This is just the latest hype. There are legal risks: Copyright infringement; data protection; protection of minors; … Infringement of guidelines: Web 2.0 infringes our AUP; accessibility legislation; e-Gov legislation; .. Institutional inertia: We'd like to do it but we have large existing systems; reluctant colleagues; … Web 2.0 Barriers How do we go about addressing these barriers? (And should we – what if the concerns are legitimate!)
6. Addressing The Barriers In order to address these barriers we need to: Understand our organisation's culture Recognise the limitations of the services we're seeking to deploy Be user-focussed in the services we seek to implement Support safe, possibly small-scale usage Have a deployment strategy to build on small-scale pilots and move to larger-scale usage (if appropriate) We may also wish to: Work within our organisation's culture Instigate cultural change within our organisation Web 2.0 Barriers
7. Nobody Likes Us - The Users' View IT Services: Don't understand learning and teaching and think that students only ever use the Web for messing around. Have no interest in what the users actually want and generally prefer to give the users what they themselves think they want. (I've seen senior IS staff dismiss the data gathered in formal user requirements gathering exercises because it doesn't fit their own viewpoint.) Tend to work in silos (example: student information systems team which won't talk to the VLE team), and will do anything to avoid working with others outside of their own silo. They have no concept of team working across services or with academic staff. Consultation usually consists of them telling you what they are going to do . If you tell them what you want they don't listen! IT Services Barrier Do these comments ring any bells? If not, how can you be sure?
8. Beware The IT Fundamentalists We need to avoid simplistic solutions to the complexities: Open Standards Fundamentalist: we just need XML Open Source Fundamentalist: we just need Linux Vendor Fundamentalist: we must need next version of our enterprise system (and you must fit in with this) Accessibility Fundamentalist: we must do WAI WCAG User Fundamentalist: we must do whatever users want Legal Fundamentalist: it breaches copyright, … Ownership Fundamentalist: must own everything we use Perfectionist : it doesn't do everything, so we'll do nothing Simplistic Developer : I've developed a perfect solution – I don't care if it doesn't run in the real world IT Services Barrier IT Director, March 2006 " I could give names of the individuals in my department! "
9. The Librarian Fundamentalists Librarians: Think they know better than the user e.g. they don't like people using Google Scholar; they should use Web of Knowledge (who cares that users find it easier to use Google Scholar & finds references they need that way?) Think that users should be forced to learn Boolean searching & other formal search techniques because this is good for them (despite Sheffield's study). Don't want the users to search for themselves (cf folksonomies) because they won't get it right. They still want to classify the entire Web - despite the fact that users don't use their lists of Web links. Want services to be perfect before they release them to users. They are uneasy with the concept of 'forever beta' (they don't believe that users have the ability to figure things out themselves and work around the bugs). Library Barrier
10. The Problem With The Users The enthusiastic users will be: Here, encouraged by Web 2.0 descriptions Cheering the critiques of the service departments However: Many users are conservative & won't care Many will feel threatened Many won't like WiFi in libraries, lecture theatres, students chatting on IRC, Googling answers, … Many will soon ask for WiFi to be removed, blocked from lecture theatres (including areas where it's not yet available!) The Users Barrier
11. Addressing the Barriers How do we address such barriers: A change in culture Being more open (surely what HE is about?) Revisiting AUPs Developing more sophisticated models for standards, accessibility, open sources, … Developing key principles Ongoing debate and discussion Cultural Change
12. Implement An Open Approach Implementing an open approach should not be difficult: We have tradition of sharing & using OSS The HE sector is now more open to discussing open access issues (e-prints, financial issues, …) Creative Commons (CC) provides a legal framework What can we do: Make support services resources available with CC licence: see paper on " Let's Free IT Support Materials! " Exploit UKOLN's QA Focus briefing documents: 100+ documents available with CC licence … Using other's resources and service may be unpopular (job security, ideology, …). For example, should IT services host email, … when this can be outsourced? Cultural Change
13. Acceptable Use Policies (AUP) Is Skype Permitted over JANET? "The Computing Service is frequently asked for a ruling on whether Skype may legitimately be used ... the Computing Service considers that use of Skype contravenes the JANET Acceptable Use Policy, although UKERNA does not concur with this view." (Mar 2006 - now toned down) Missing The Point? There may be (religious) debates over the interpretation of UKERNA's words. But Did the policy come from God? Is it infallible? Why do we hide behind AUPs? Revisiting AUPs Proposal : An AUP is meant to work on behalf of an organisation, helping to ensure the effective use of IT by its users. An AUP should not be used as a control mechanism to prevent usage which IT staff may frown upon.
14. The Need For An AUPP AUPs: Shouldn't be cast in stone: technologies change; usage changes; culture changes (e.g. AUPs banning social use; email; Web; messaging; …) Therefore need for mechanisms for changing AUPs and engagement with users Proposal: We need an Acceptable Use Policy Process (AUPP) We need mechanisms to ensure users can input into the discussion process We need more flexibility in our AUPs (e.g. to reflect blended learning, pervasiveness of IT; …) Cultural Change
15. Risk Management (1) IWMW 2006 has taken a risk management approach to its evaluation of Web 2.0 technologies: Agreements : e.g. in the case of the Chatbot. Use of well-established services : Google & del.icio.us are well-established and have financial security. Notification : warnings that services could be lost. Engagement : with the user community: users actively engage in the evaluation of the services. Provision of alternative services: multiple OMPL tools. Use in non-mission critical areas: not for bookings! Long term experiences of services: usage stats Availability of alternative sources of data : e.g. standard Web server log files. Data export and aggregation: RSS feeds, aggregated in Suprglu, OPML viewers, etc. Taking Risks
16. Risk Management (2) File Formats Microformats are a bottom-up approach OPML is simple but ambiguous How scalable? Will formats change in light of experience? Approaches: Use to provide services today Look for tools which will allow for changes Applications No longer critical in many areas! If application is flawed, no longer available through it away and use an alterative Taking Risks Note that you also take risks in not providing a service! Will your users go elsewhere?
17. Safe Experimentation How can we gain experiences of Web 2.0: Safe environment Which minimise risks Which allow learning Possibilities: Using technologies at events such as ILI! Supporting the services which your users use (e.g. Google!) Using services which require minimal effort Piloting Web 2.0 Let's quickly review how Web 2.0 was used at the IWMW 2006 event, June 2006. Slides taken from " Web 2.0: Behind The Hype " panel session
