12.
13. Delete Unused/Evaluate Underused
Site Collections & Sub Sites
Not every ‘unused’ site collection or
‘old’ site collection should be deleted.
Example: Emergency Preparedness Site
14. Delete Unnecessary Versions
Before Digital File Shares SharePoint
Hopefully you already limit the number of versions
whenever versioning is enabled…
If you don’t – the upgrade provides a reminder (and benefit)
to adjusting and evaluating versioning and previous stored
versions of documents.

33. Inform your user community
• Information on what will happen during transition…
• Communication on when their 2013 ‘infrastructure’
upgrade will occur…
• Provided directions if using self-service upgrade…
• Notifications and reminders for when upgrade must be
completed by…
• Self-service upgrade still means getting people to do it
eventually by a specific time
• Notification when the ‘infrastructure’ upgrade is
finished…
• What IT support, training, and help will be available…
34. Understand The Differences
1.No Design View in SharePoint Designer 2013
2.No Breadcrumb (By Default)
3.Create Sub Site Has Moved
4.No Sign In As a Different User
5.App Naming & Organization (For Those Who Are
Used To Previous Methods For Creating New
Lists/Libraries The App Naming Can Be Confusing)
6.Share Instead Of Manage Permissions (Better
Than Previous Model, But Requires Explanation)
37. Are you still using SharePoint
2007?
• Things to Know:
–Direct Upgrade NOT an option
–Need to use a 2010 Staging Farm (or a tool)
• Must be 64 bit; Should be Windows Server
2008 R2/SQL Server 2008 R2 or better
39. Demo – Inventory
Upgrade Worksheet
PreUpgradeCheck
PreUpgrade Solutions
Site Templates
Web Apps/Databases
40. Configure SharePoint 2010 Staging
Farm
• Configure the 2010 Staging Farm (we use a
custom PS Script)
• Create a new web application for each 2007 web
app (don’t forget mySites)
• Install 3rd party solutions
• Restore and attach the content database (Mount-
SPContentDatabase)
• To Visual Upgrade or not To Visual Upgrade?
• Test, Test, Test
• GOTO “How to get there from SharePoint 2010”
43. Things to know ahead of time
• 2010 database must be RTM or later
– No Service Pack required
• Upgrade from 2013 beta to 2013 RTM not allowed
• Office web apps are now on their own server so plan
accordingly, 2013 will not consume 2010 OWA
• Add managed paths manually before attaching
databases
• Always upgrade database with root site collection first
• Try to use same URLs
• You need more hardware!
44. Things to know ahead of time
• Valid methods
–Database attach (Mount)
• Authentication
• Nomorepreupgradecheck
2013 Upgrade Report
45. Features and Solutions
• 2010 stuff mostly just works
• Hopefully everything is WSPs
• Fab 40 Solutions will not upgrade – upgrade
process refuses and leaves them in 14 mode.
46. Things that are new
• Upgrade just affects the database schema not
the site collections
• No more visual upgrade
– 2010 vs. 2013 site collections
• Everything is in the hands of site collection
admins
– Test upgrade – creates a new site collection to test
– Upgrade health rules
– Upgrade process
50. Users Can Try A Demo Upgrade
Sends an email to the Site Collection Admin
when queue and eval site creation is complete.
• The “Upgrade Evaluation Site Collection” must be clearly communicated as NOT FOR
REAL USE as it expires in 30 days – noted in a bar at the top.
• It also creates a copy of the site collection, so depending on search settings, and
storage this can have significant ramifications (beyond just the performance
implications).
• Depending on SQL (non enterprise) this may set the site to ‘read only’ until creation
is complete.
52. What did we learn?
• Communication with stakeholders is key
– Show the benefits, get their buy-in.
– Explain the process
• Train the trainer
• Detailed Inventory Identifies Pre-Upgrade Work
to be done
– 3rd party
– Deprecated features
• Prepare to do a lot of design work
• UAT is key

Watch out for the hidden costs
Technology is not the biggest expense, it’s the manpower it takes to rethink your content’s structure (IA)
You have two choices:
Upgrade – start fresh and copy over the content.
Upgrade/Migrate – upgrade your existing farm (in place or new farm)
This is what we did at Kiefer
This is what we did at POLA
Run PS Scripts and Provide them a list
Preupgradechecker will give you a good list
During an upgrade from the server products in the Office 2007 release to SharePoint 2010 Products, you could allow site owners to use Visual Upgrade to keep sites in the old experience on the upgraded environment. When you upgrade to SharePoint 2013 Preview, all sites that are still in the old experience in SharePoint 2010 Products are automatically upgraded to the 2010 experience. If you want the opportunity to address any issues and review the sites before they are switched to the new experience, upgrade them to the new experience in your SharePoint 2010 Products environment and review them before you upgrade them to SharePoint 2013 Preview. We recommend that you finish visual upgrades before you upgrade to SharePoint 2013 Preview. Finishing visual upgrades before you upgrade provides the following benefits:
You can address issues while you still have the server products in the Office 2007 release components available.
You can have users be involved in reviewing and fixing issues in their sites.
You can roll back to the old experience temporarily if it is necessary. You cannot roll back when you are in the SharePoint 2013 Preview experience.
You avoid adding potential errors to the upgrade process. The fewer operations occurring during upgrade, the better. Trying to troubleshoot errors is more difficult when you have more processes involved. And users might think that upgrade has caused an issue when it's really the experience changing to the new version. If you have an issue with how the site interface is displaying, how will you know whether it is an old issue from the site that was forced through visual upgrade, a problem with the 2010 mode in SharePoint 2013 Preview, or a problem with a new CSS file?
To check for sites in the old experience, on the SharePoint 2010 Products environment, you can use the Get-SPSite Windows PowerShell command.
To check for and upgrade sites still in the old experience in the SharePoint 2010 Products environment by using Windows PowerShell
Verify that you have the following memberships:
securityadmin fixed server role on the SQL Server instance.
db_owner fixed database role on all databases that are to be updated.
Administrators group on the server on which you are running the Windows PowerShell cmdlets.
An administrator can use the Add-SPShellAdmin cmdlet to grant permissions to use SharePoint 2013 Preview cmdlets.
Note: If you do not have permissions, contact your Setup administrator or SQL Server administrator to request permissions. For additional information about Windows PowerShell permissions, see Add-SPShellAdmin.
On the Start menu, click All Programs.
Click Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products.
Click SharePoint 2010 Management Shell.
At the Windows PowerShell command prompt, type the following command to return all site collections that are in or have subwebs in the old experience:
Get-SPSite | ForEach-Object{$_.GetVisualReport()}
At the Windows PowerShell command prompt, type the following command to upgrade those sites to the new experience:
Get-SPSite | ForEach-Object{$_.VisualUpgradeWebs()}
For more information, see Get-SPSite and Manage visual upgrade (SharePoint Server 2010).
If you have any custom site templates, you’ll need to recreate some of them in the 2013 experience.
We’ve really focused on making sharing simple in this release. You can drag and drop content directly into your document libraries and by hovering over a document you can see live document preview and at a glance see who you’re sharing with and when the document was last edited. Without leaving the library you can edit your documents using Office Web Apps, and in one click share it with a colleague. We’re taking document sharing and storage one step further with the introduction of SkyDrive Pro.
We have incorporated all the social networking capabilities that people love in the new SharePoint.
Here you can see the SharePoint Newsfeed, which enables you to speak your mind, share ideas and get answers in real time. You get hashtags (#), ‘likes’ and the ability to mention people (@) in a post. You can follow people, document and sites, so you always know what is going on with your colleagues and projects. You can even create an Outlook task, right from your Newsfeed, so you can effectively track an action item.
This is what we call social to get things done.
Theme: Connect your workplace with integrated social capabilities – communication and collaboration within and across agencies; Knowledge Sharing to Drive Productivity and Efficiencies; Resolve issues faster
Office 2013 capabilities: social capabilities in SharePoint and Office – like newsfeeds to follow sites, documents and discussions to get answers in real time - follow people, teams, documents and sites to stay on top of the latest happenings. Keep track of what your colleagues are up to through their activity feed. SharePoint even recommends people and documents to follow based on your interests and responsibilities. Ratings and reputation scores enable you to recognize colleagues and develop expert communities.
Enterprise newsfeeds and microblogging
Follow people, document and sites
Create Outlook tasks from your Newsfeed
Click to communicate with pervasive presence and People card
Yammer:
Yammer already integrates with SharePoint and Dynamics, and over time it will offer more and more connections with SharePoint, Office 365, Dynamics and Skype. SharePoint will include new social networking capabilities, and Yammer will power the next generation of SharePoint and Office 365 social experiences.
Yammer and SharePoint have highly complementary strengths that will benefit business users and IT.
-Users love Yammer – their viral growth model and high engagement is the recipe for success with social.
-SharePoint is the platform IT NEEDS – SharePoint will offer IT the support it needs to ensure that Social is not only a success with users, butcan continue to grow and meet IT’s governance, security, and compliance needs.
-Yammer is always improving: For free users they will often release multiple times a week in an effort to continue to fine tune engagement and even roll out new features. Users are used to iterative changes with consumer software, and with social it’s crucial that we are always at the front of the curve with innovation. IT departments simply can’t keep pace with our ability to innovate and roll-out software in the cloud.
-SharePoint will always be the place that IT goes to manage social: SharePoint will offer a more stable platform that IT can understand and easily predict ensuring that they can both continue to have the latest Social experience with Yammer, but also ensure they the key controls needed to meet the business’ highly demanding SLA’s.
-Yammer is simple and consistent: By not allowing major changes to the experience it ensures that Yammer is always confident that ever user stays engaged and get work done.
-SharePoint will offer our customers that need that ability to provide advanced, highly customized experiences a way to continue to do this and still leverage the powerful social layer to keep these applications dynamic and alive.
Together Yammer and SharePoint will enable Microsoft to offer a service that no other company can match, that both the business and IT will love
Animated Slide with two views of search results in SharePoint
Answering a question is only helpful if the user can act on it, and SharePoint makes acting natural and intuitive with the introduction of the hover card.
From the hover card you can do a live preview of a document, deep dive into that document, in meaning not just to the right document but to the right part of the of the document with the introduction of a new features called “deep links”. And finally you can act on that result with contextual actions based on the document itself.
So for an example for a person result, actions can be follow/send email/view profile, while for a video it can be play/share/etc. All of this is also extensible and customizable allowing you to make search actionable for any content and create a richer experience.
Click for 2nd image of video search:
Here is a great example of a out of the box experience, the video search. Visualizing the results is important, but having the ability to inspect and interact, in thiscase ability to play the videos with-in the results or even inside the hover panel makes for a compelling search experience. Note how the hover panel surfaces additional metadata and event relevant actions.
Right under the search box, you will see a list of verticals. These not allow for users to find quickly what they are looking for by setting the right context but arealso a customizable and extensible as any part of the search results page which will allow you to create your own great and unique experiences on top of theplatform.
All of these experiences can be customized to allow organizations to easily extend and build their own experiences both inside and outside of SharePoint.
More on SharePoint Search:
MSFT has invested heavily in search in the past several years….In this release we brought together SharePoint Search and FAST Search into a next generation search engine that we consider the best of both worlds. The scale and power of FAST with the simplicity and manageability of SP Search. But this release is far
more then best of both worlds, it is step ahead for the entire search industry.
Search in SharePoint 2013 focuses not just on technology, but the core belief that search should help users find what they are looking for and get answersto the questions they ask. This means doing far more then searching a index, but requiring the development of a entire new experience dedicated to the usersintent, that can analyze user interactions while having the flexibility to draw information from across the enterprise and even from out in the web.
The search experience in SharePoint 2013 is beyond just a great user experience, as it will allow anyone looking to leverage the extensible engine to
build their own experiences that can benefit much of the richness that SharePoint provides.
Across Exchange, SharePoint, Lync and file shares
Based on enhanced search technology
Delegate discovery dashboard with role based access control
With advanced search technology (from the FAST acquisition) the new Office unifies the eDiscovery process by letting you retrieve content stored across Exchange, SharePoint, Lync and even file shares.
You can search and view content by project, legal matter, or business context. Laser-focused refiners help you get the exact content you are looking for.
Key benefits of our unified eDiscovery solution are:
First, you can find it all in one place: one single experience for searching and preserving email, documents, site mailboxes, etc.
Secondly, find what you need and only what you need: be specific about what you want to search for and preserve, to reduce discovery costs
Thirdly, find it without user impact: place no burden on the user for preserving and searching for data, do it all in the background.
Eliminate the need to buy and manage a separate archiving solution by allowing users to access an email archive from within their Inbox and equipping specialized users with eDiscovery tools.
With SharePoint you can embed PowerPoint presentations and videos into your team or intranet sites to help communicate business priorities and initiatives. SharePoint blogs allow you to provide regular updates to your team or the entire organization and get rapid feedback. We’ve made a number of improvements to inline site editing so updating sites and communicate changes to critical business processes can be done quickly to keep everyone up-to-date.
Office works across devices and platforms, from smartphones and tablets to desktops and from PCs to Macs, and even on popular browsers. Support for Windows phone, iOS and Android phones enables bring-your-own-device. The new Office is designed to work closely with Windows on PCs, tablets and phones.
Moreover with improved Lync meeting integration, mobile workers can one-click into Lync meetings and view shared content.
Summary on Rights Management:
Data can flow anywhere anytime
Access based control does not protect content once it has been accessed.
Rights Management provides encryption that is persisted with the content.
Enables rich policy to be associated with content to prevent accidental disclosure of content.
Rights Management is now integrated within the Office 365 Preview
Does not require any additional on-premise infrastructure and takes a few minutes to configure.
Available as a part of the Office 365 Enterprise Preview.
Deep Integration with Office 2013, SharePoint Online and Exchange Online.
Users are familiar with the applications and have very little to learn.
View and author Information Rights Management protected messages in Outlook, Outlook Web Access, and on the mobile phone without the need for additional software add-ons.

Microsoft BI Story:
We started our Business Analytics journey with a unique differentiated perspective…which at the time was not shared by the competition… It was founded on a simple set of principles….
It started with the notion of empowering all users with self-service BI
But balancing that with the right IT governance and control
And valuable insights are created by individuals, but are only maximized when they are easily shared and collaborated on by teams
We pioneered the idea of Self-Service BI with SQL Server 2008 R2 when we first introduced the popular PowerPivot Add-In for Excel, enabling users of all levels to quickly access data from virtually any source, to analyze and model that data in Excel.
Then we enabled collaboration and sharing these insights through SharePoint. After all, BI is about decision making and decision making is an inherently collaborative process. By integrating BI more seamlessly into our existing collaboration platform, and existing business workflows, we enabling a more collaborative and effective decision making process..
Through SharePoint we also provide what we refer to as managed Self-Service BI – providing IT with the tools they need to manage and protect the data and content that end users are creating. Microsoft uniquely provides IT administrators with the insight and oversight they need through tools for monitoring and managing user-generated content, as well as for transforming that content into corporate grade solutions that are professionally managed by the IT department. This simplifies compliance without hampering user agility and creativity.
With the new release of SQL Server 2012 we built on this foundation with the introduction of a new tool in our self-service line up – Power View. Power View is a highly interactive, browser-based data exploration, visualization, and presentation experience for users of all levels—from business executives to information workers. Now anyone can create a report in just seconds, transform the “shape” of data with a single click, add powerful timed animation sequences to quickly identify trends or anomalies…With Power View customers can get insights at the speed of thought.
Recently, Microsoft announced that we will enable delivery of solutions on Microsoft BI across a range of devices. Our goal is to provide great touch based experiences on all devices including iPads and the best in class experience on Windows….
Let’s take a look at Power View and BI on devices in our next two slides….
We’re introducing a new lightweight task management feature in SharePoint to help coordinate tasks across the entire team. Sites make it so easy for teams to work together, sharing content, organizing tasks, editing lists and it’s designed to work with Microsoft Project so it’s easy to aggregate all your project tasks across the team or the entire organization giving project managers broad visibility into the priorities and initiatives people are working on.
The new Office introduces a new Cloud App Model to extend and personalize the way you create and consume information from within Office and SharePoint.
This new Cloud App Model combines cloud services and web technologies to enable the quick development of secure, scalable and flexible apps.
Developers can leverage their skills in familiar languages such as HTML/CSS, JavaScript or PHP, in addition to their favorite tools and hosting services. Apps can be published through the Office and SharePoint Store, or as IT approved apps, through an internal App Catalog.
In this example I have embedded the Bing maps app in Excel. The app is passing to Bing the data I have selected in Excel and the Bing app, maps that in real time.
This new cloud app model, will make your new Office even more exciting, and more useful, as it can be extended to fit your business needs.
Experience Office Best on Windows 8
Benefits:
Lower development costs
Spend less IT time on development and delivery
Reduce training costs by leveraging familiar Office UI
Increase insight into web content and LOB data to improve decision making and unlock the ROI in existing investments (ERP, CRM, etc.)
More On Cloud App Model:
The Cloud App Model provides a loosely coupled architecture for building apps in SharePoint 2013. This loosely coupled architecture gives the freedom of choice for developers in the technologies they use to not only host their applications but also the tools they use to write them. These apps leverage industry web standards such as HTML, JavaScript, jQuery, JSON, REST, OData and OAuth to provide apps an integrated user experience, yet architecturally provides for loose coupling with SharePoint 2013.
Apps for SharePoint execute “off-server” which allows for the app to scale independently of SharePoint and provides for a more secure SharePoint environment. You have complete control how apps interact with SharePoint. IT has complete control on how users discover, acquire and license apps. IT can specify which apps are white listed for install, or provide a mechanism where users can request an app that requires IT approval to install.
Apps can be accessible from any device with a web browser whether it be a PC, Tablet or smart phone. If it has a web browser that supports the latest web standards then it can be used.

To help IT manage and distribute apps the Internal App Directory provides a central place for business end-users to download and discover IT approved apps. We’re providing administrators with tools to track app requests and manage licenses so you have complete control of which apps can be accessed and set policies around app download and approval to keep you in control.
An email should be sent out to Site Collection admin when the temporary site is provisioned.
