  10. What is SDPS? • SDPS = • “free” 1, 3, 5 , 10 or 15 day pre-defined planning service • Specifically for SharePoint deployment • Provided by Microsoft • Delivered by partners • Used by qualified customers worldwide SharePoint Deployment Planning Services

  11. What is BVPS? • What are Business Value Planning Services (BVPS): • Partner initiative where partners deliver a 3, 5, 10 or 15 day service engagement to drive customer adoption and create new Partner Services opportunities. • Joint Investment model where Microsoft and Partner share cost • Easy for the customers to consume since the offer is the same regardless of partner • Inexpensive engagement designed to scale, with costs equivalent to DDPS • Targets customers who WANT to adopt • Goals: • Reduce the cost/uncertainty of adoption. • Create a customized business process solution using Information Worker (IW) technologies • Develop relationship between customer and partner • Demonstrate Adoption Best Practices

  12. What is BVPS?

  13. User Adoption Resources • GearUp • BuzzKit • Posters • User Training • Super Users • Communities • Productivity Hub • Training Portal • Community

  14.

  15. Demo – Productivity Hub

  16. Ideas That We Scrapped • SharePoint End/Power User Conference • Road show at organisation’s premises

  17. What Could Partners Do? • Educate customer on the problem • Build adoption into project plan • Hook in with training partners to deliver relevant training

  18. What has worked for some customers in the room • Bragging Site – when user/dept has done something well, they can share it with others so others can get in touch to see how it was done • Brown bag sessions – an hour session where everyone from company is invited to watch a presentation on tips/tricks etc. Could give something away • Hide SharePoint from users – partner did some clever “dev” which means users don’t even know they are using SharePoint. Their day to day task means that “stuff” just ends up in SharePoint without users understanding that

Future Meetings • Sept • TechEd Feedback (Rob to deliver) • Live Meeting (Zlatan to come in) • Anyone else... • Oct • Governance / Architecture Panel Discussion • Nov • SharePoint 2010 Overview and What’s New (Michael) • Dec • Social Event • Jan • Visual Studio 2010 + SharePoint Dev Session (Rob) • Feb • SharePoint + Office 2010 RoundTables • March • BI in SharePoint • April • Fast ESP in SharePoint
