Topics • Background and why did we skip 2010? • Why did 2013 meet our needs for a document management system • Significant Areas of Concern
Background and why did we skip 2010? • SharePoint 2010 planning was well underway when we had to put the project on hold due to resource availability • In Sept 2011, we were still on track for a mid- to late 2012 upgrade • Then SharePoint 2013 was announced, and other projects aligned to that feature set • So rather than impact the business with two back to back upgrades, we skipped and focused on SharePoint 2013 • Atypical for Micron, we prefer to wait for upgrades
Why did 2013 meet our needs? • Document hold/e-Discovery • Reusable and more powerful workflow (e.g. workflow 1.0) • Documents have a unique document ID • Cost barrier removed
Significant Areas of Concern • Significant architectural changes, even from SP 2010 plans • Virtualization • Opted for virtualized farms (except for dbs); easier to scale • Consolidation • Dropping from 11 prod farms to 6; 2 enterprise, 2 site specific, 2 function specific • Storage changes to further reduce costs • Used Premier Support early in process to validate plans • Hired Microsoft Consulting to assist with some aspects • Sometimes conflicting information
Significant Areas of Concern • Business Intelligence customer impacts • PowerView, PowerPivot, plans to expand Excel Services usage • PerformancePoint dashboards and Report Center reports needed to be republished • Hired partner to assist with conversion
Significant Areas of Concern • SharePoint customer impacts • Office 2003 Web Components widely used • Meeting Workspace template • Search and security • Migration Tools to minimize upgrade impact
