Since its introduction in 2001, SharePoint has been a juggernaut in legal services, supporting everything from intranets to content management and beyond. The release of SharePoint 2013 offers substantial new features, such as enterprise search, moving to the cloud and a customizable app model -- all significant improvements that can positively impact your IT performance. In this presentation, we will discuss SharePoint 2013's new capabilities, such as enhanced search and collaboration, as well as new ways to visualize and create workflows. We'll also cover: - Top reasons for -- and warnings about -- moving SharePoint to the cloud - How to reduce risk and administration in SharePoint and its applications - Talent and tools needed to undertake application development for SharePoint - A demonstration of a successful SharePoint legal app Speaker: Ted Theodoropoulos, as the founder and President of Acrowire, combines his interest in technology with his passion to improve the business productivity of entrepreneurs and corporations.

Enterprise Search

6. Search: A Serious Enterprise Search Contender
Historically
• FAST was an add-on to SharePoint 2010
• Incremental crawls led to stale search results
• Best Bets used to refine search results
• Poor search results with little relevance and
intelligence
• Cumbersome user experience
SharePoint 2013 Search
• FAST is now seamlessly integrated into SharePoint
2013 at no additional cost to the end user
• Continuous crawl increases freshness
• Query Rules are used create Promoted Results
• Addition of Analytics allow for intent-driven search
capabilities
• User experience (UX) has been dramatically
enhanced
Gartner’s Magic Quadrant

7. Create YouTube-like video
experiences through Search
View video thumbnails without
leaving your search page

refiners
Dive into the part
of the document
that matters most
Live previews
of documents
New Hover Panel
changes based
on content type
Search: Improved Results UI

8. Search: Personalized Behaviors
When searching for documents, new intelligence recalls previous behavior to quickly
surface relevant documents that you’re likely to be searching.
A list of Results you’ve clicked and Suggested documents to follow
helps you narrow files based on your intent

9. Collaboration: Capabilities With Just One Click
Users can now collaborate even better by leveraging the new Facebook-like
paradigm of “following” content. Sharing content no longer requires multiple
steps.
Share and Follow buttons are universally
placed on every file, site and contact
Within your profile, you can easily
manage and monitor the people,
documents, sites and tags you are
following

10. Collaboration: Edit Documents Simultaneously
There is no longer a need to email large documents back and forth for collaborative
editing. SharePoint emphasizes its collaborative features by enabling co-author
capabilities and managing tracked changes for you.
Quick view into
others editing the
document at the
same time
Can view
changes by
others in real-
time

11. Intranet/Extranet: OOB Opportunities
SharePoint 2013’s flat intranet and extranet design encourages developers with basic
skills to create a unique and branded experience for the firm.
Out-of-the-box features allow organizations to create a dynamic, interactive and
informational environment, such as:
Message from
the President
News Feed
Blog
Document
Library

12. Intranet/Extranet: Branding Opportunities
Familiar Content Authoring and
Management
Managed Navigation/Friendly URL’s
Support Automated or Manual
Translation
Image Renditions
Video Improvements
Usage Analytics
Design Manager
Device Based Rendering

13. Intranet/Extranet: Branding Examples

14. Apps: SharePoint Application Evolution
2003 – What is an Application?
-SharePoint was not an Application Platform, except web parts
-Investments were in portals and content
2007 – Everything is an Application!
-Push to embrace SharePoint for LOB applications
-Experience was to write custom server side code
2010 – Choose the right Application
-SharePoint and Developer Tools come together
-Silverlight, CSOM and other new capabilities
-Partially trusted code reduces impact and risk to farm
2013 – Redefine Application as App…
-Client side experience via html or iFrame
-Leverage CSOM and REST APIs from Azure and other clients
-Investments in app discovery and management via SharePoint store

15. Apps: SharePoint Application Evolution
Full Trust Solutions
No real control
Support is a nightmare
Upgrade is quite a challenge
Securing code to run in hosted
environments is effectively impossible
SP Code
More custom code:
aspx, dlls, web
services, GAC
Sandbox
Partial control
Way too strict for developers
Hard to maintain and expand
Managed by your self
SP Code
Sandboxed
Custom Code
App Model
Control, Trust, Manage
App code
(client or
server)
SP Code
Isolated App
client side
code
Host/language independent
Management and update easily doable
per app
Embrases reusability / improved CSOM

16. Apps: Side by Side Comparison
Full-Trust
Solutions
Sandboxed
Solutions
Apps
Use Client-Side SharePoint API
Use Server-Side SharePoint API
Use Remote Services
App-based Permissions (OAuth2)
On-Premise Deployment Friendly
Hosted Deployment Friendly
Distribution via Marketplace
SharePoint Provided Schematics for Install /
Upgrade / Uninstall

17. Apps: What is a SharePoint App?
Is the future proof way to add new capabilities to SP2013+
Is available from Corporate Catalog and/or SP Store
Is easy to install by site owners or Tenant/Farm Admin
Is a web application that runs “OUTSIDE” of SharePoint
Uses CLIENT APIs to talk to SharePoint (JS, REST, and .NET)

18. Apps: Build Alongside SharePoint
SharePoint now emphasizes The App Model (vs. Solutions) which allows developers
to build alongside SharePoint.
Custom code never runs on the SharePoint server.
• Custom application code runs either on a web browser or on a separate
server
Why Do You Care?
• Reduces risk - Vulnerabilities and
dependencies are mitigated
• Better performance - Environment
remains supported
• Minimizes hesitation to make updates
• Latest capabilities will be enabled
• Does not lock your firm into your current
version of Sharepoint
• SharePoint cloud environments may now
seem more attractive

19. Apps: Developer Skillsets
Earlier versions of SharePoint emphasized Full Trust Solutions, requiring heavy
SharePoint skills.
The App Model is a demonstration of Microsoft’s commitment to the shift in industry
standards.

23. Business Intelligence
Excel BI:
In-Memory BI Engine (IMBI): The In Memory multidimensional data analysis
engine (IMBI), also known as the Vertipaq engine, allows for almost instant
analysis of millions of rows and is a fully integrated feature in the Excel client.
Power View Add-in for Excel: Power View enables users to visualize and
interact with modeled data by using highly interactive visualizations, animations
and smart querying.
Decoupled PivotChart and PivotTable reports: Users can now create PivotChart
reports without having to include a PivotTable report on the same page.

•Data exploration improvements
•Field list and field well support
