Office 365 contains a set of world-class collaboration tools. Organizations however are struggling how to use these tools effectively to collaborate and communicate smarter. This session is about a real-world implementation of a custom Next-Gen Social Intranet Portal at a big Dutch school (ROC). How did we realize a single starting point for employees, teachers and students, where they can meet and find everything they need for their work or study? Why do we need a social intranet portal anyway? Why not use Office 365 out-of-the-box? How did we achieve user adoption? This session addresses various design choices, like using Office 365 Groups instead of SharePoint Team Sites, the role of Yammer, integrating Delve and using Umbraco CMS for managed content. The result is an intuitive, smart, and fast portal that uses modern web technologies, works great on mobile and empowers users by making it fully personizable. The portal has been implemented as a web application hosted on Microsoft Azure and uses the Microsoft Graph to communicate with the Office 365 applications.

Notes de l'éditeur
- Where did we come from?
- Strong community ties: Noorderpoort teams with municipalities, employers, trade organisations and other parties and institutions “With our educational skills, our passion for human development and our diversity in schools we aim to contribute to something that is bigger than us: inspiring Groningen to make the most of itself.” A large number of professional training courses: carpenter, technician, secretary, management assistant, interior advisor, baker, cook, hotel management, tourism, hospitality training courses, ICT courses, game developer, media designer, photographer, automotive technician, hairdresser, musician, actor, dentist assistant, nurse
- Noorderportal: Social Intranet & Digital Workplace for students, teachers & staff
- Tension field!
- Why do we need a portal anyway? Video Portal Delve Modern teamsites Etc. Where to start? Where to find my information Which tool for different form of collaboration
- Portal for students
- Portal for students
- Workshops, see how users work, communicate, what tools they use
- Prototyping instead of making a full functional design
- Groups for all users including students: There’s governance on groups, but afterwards Monitoring: if a group isn’t used for 6 months: email to group owner. If not used anymore: delete group All students group: moderating Based on trust, not on distrust
- SESSIONS 15000 Students, 1800 Teachers, daily coverage around 71% Timetables are directly pushed in outlook agenda, no need to visit the portal People where skeptical about the participation of students TRANSACTIONS Timetable import, almost 350K individual events are pushed into peoples agenda on a weekly bases Around a thousand grades per week - Around a million notifications every week DEPENDENCIES Dependencies include Storage, such as SQL Server databases, Table / Blob Storage Other services, such as Microsoft Graph, Microsoft Azure AD, Sendgrid Other systems, such as PeopleSoft, Xedule, Magister, OnTrack, LOAD TIME We managed to get an average loadtime of 1.6 seconds of the dashboard, while retrieving information out of these 15 different sources
- Why create a web app and not a Sharepoint Solution?
- Sharepoint is great at document management and collaboration, in the form of groups, We’ve totally embraced this functionality We use sharepoint for all of our configuration We get out of the box user management Can easily create small data structures to hold configuration information Get a free GUI to edit this stuff Use powershell to automatically provision the configuration across the OTAP environment We’ve created little processes for Internal Job applications, suggest news to the editorial department etc.. We can easily inject simple messages in sharepoint lists From here people are triggered and guide by small workflows to do their work
- For our content editing we’ve used Umbraco. If you don’t know Umbraco, it is an highly adopted open source .net CMS.
- 1. Users and groups 2. Azure AD Connect 3. Enrich Powershell Peoplesoft 4. Create an online Identity 5 Used by MS Graph 6. Reuse in all of your applications
- It’s about the people, they have to work with the tools and have to like it. At the same time not everybody understands the new way of working Focus on the people working with it People can make it a success, but they can also be the weakest link
