SharePoint Communities & Internal Support Erich Kohtz – Micron Technology, Inc.
In today’s discussion… • Micron Case Study • Lessons Learned • Roundtable
Micron Case Study Background: Due to cost cutting during the migration from SP 2003 to MOSS, the new environment had move to a self-support model. • Site Owner CBTs • MOSS Resource Center • Practice Sites • Microsoft Online Resources
Training/Certification • Two CBT classes: Overview, Info Mgmt Policies • Pro: Self-service, on-demand training • Con: Enforcement left to Site Collection Admins • Given more time and resources, could provide recorded overviews of the Resource Center, process, etc.
MOSS Resource Center • Central ‘Collaboration Portal’ for support • ‘Get Started’ • 7 steps on what you need to know (planning, learning, creating) • Discussion Forum • SP Discussion List • Pre-populated during MOSS setup/development • Easy to sign up for alerts (Micron very e-mail driven) • Very successful
MOSSRC (cont.) • Resource Library • Major Microsoft resources • Blogs • Training videos • Can get stale • Site Owner Index • New SCs must be approved/created • Populated after creation • Only SCAs/Owners can create sites under SCs • Didn’t know who to contact for support/creating sub-sites • Not well advertised
MOSSRC (cont.) • Automated practice site request • 4 different site-collection templates • Auto-created on 15-minute timer job • No production data allowed • Auto-deleted after 30 days – Warning e-mail before deletion. • Very well received – a bit of confusion in the beginning
Lessons Learned • Discussion Forum • Content must be pre-populated • Community must sign up for alerts (make it easy) • Great resource for single item collaboration • Community Presentations • People need info on concepts/total solutions • Need to capture/share knowledge sets • Currently very sporadic • Maintenance • Changing policies • Announcements • Stale content
Roundtable • What challenges have you encountered? • What has worked? • What plans do you have for 2010?
