- 16. 16 Confidential SharePoint What is a SharePoint “citizen developer” • End users who are not professional developers, but who create business solutions – for themselves and their groups – to help them perform their jobs more efficiently – Also called “power users” • Used to be called “Rogue IT” (but it doesn't have to be!) Citizen developers do … Citizen developers don’t … Create solutions with user-facing tools like Excel, Excel Services or PowerPivot Write code using tools like Visual Studio Have some technical knowledge Have custom development knowledge or experience Understand their business needs Always know what tools are available
- 17. 17 Confidential SharePoint A root problem with SharePoint Users need SharePoint to do more • SharePoint out of the box doesn’t meet business requirements – Specific functional needs … – Forms – Data views / filtering – Navigation – Charting/BI – … Or composite solutions • Citizen developers (CDs) lack training and experience required to self serve – Or don’t have rights to customize if tools are locked down • CDs need enhancements done yesterday • Limitations are usually realized real-time
- 18. 18 SharePoint Your organizations face a choice Shut down citizen development or embrace it Too risky - Shut it down • Burden on IT to control and monitor this rogue development • Performance issues if solutions are not built and deployed properly • Lack of consistency across solutions, which lead to support and upgrade headaches Benefits abound – bring it on! • Increased user adoption • Better business productivity • Reduced IT burden • Improved SharePoint ROI • Enablement • And more!

Results in solutions IT can support and encourage

Reduces the IT burden • Empowered CDs can make their own customizations – quickly and confidently – without posing risk to the environment – in a way that IT can support and maintain • Frees IT staff to focus on important projects that only they are qualified to take on – especially important to free expensive developer resources

Notes de l'éditeur
- A “What if” journey based on historical facts and future possibilitiesLet’s challenge the current paradigmWith knowledge comes power and the ability to invoke changeMoving the needle internallyA better conveyer belt as a result of maximizing and improving the toolset (Business, IT, Operations, Control, Tax legal, HR, Marketing, R&D)What’s different about SharePoint going forward? How can this change the game for my group and my company?I’ve been a part of that change and the app store furthers SharePoints potential as a catalyst of improvement
- Worked with SharePoint before it was called SharePoint (12+ years)When the content management piece was a separate tool altogether. All the good old days…..not really….it sucked!!Progressive Insurance (the third-largest auto insurer in the US) and as a senior consultant for Crowe Horwath (one of the largest public accounting and consulting firms in the US)Founded a consulting practice that ran for 5 years.
- Audience QuestionsHow many of you know what the app store it?How many of you have actually downloaded a SharePoint App and used it?Someone tell me what the App Store is.
- Consumerization of SharePointPeople are becoming used to things outside of the workplace and now they are starting to demand it within the workplaceEspecially true of the younger workforceLife without an iPhone? Life without a tablet. Life without the internet?This methodology is now being injected in to the enterprise both young and old
- Only available in SharePoint 2013 going forwardOnly available in Office 2013 going forwardOnly available in Windows 8 going forwardA unified front across the Microsoft stack
- We are extending SharePoint native capabilities via Apps right?Apps can be used on a trial basisApps can also be purchased for useThere are various license types. Options vary by app and by vendor.
- Shamelessplug for Dell SoftwareA featured app in the app storeStill a beta but being feverishly worked on for full release this year
- Let’s talk about impactsWho is a SharePoint admin?
- Acquiring tools was difficult unless you were the adminStill challenges there as well post installTraining, adoption, internal supportRemember we are talking about moving the needle. SharePoint creates the potential to improve any group in your company and group to group collaborationWe don’t work in silos…..and if we do we probably shouldn’t….collaboration right? Accountability….transparency….what get’s measured get’s gone
- You have access to tools today but it’s not integrated (SharePoint 2010 and the latter)Farmville, Mafia Wars, etc.Most people don’t go through the effort to request a tool they wantOr don’t have budget to do itOr don’t feel empowered to ask or DO
- Question for the audience: Who has heard of the term “Citizen Developer”?Over time it may be higher than 25% depending on how proactive everyone isFight for the tools you need to succeed & make your company better
- Don’t we all create business solutions for themselves and their groups – to help them perform their jobs more efficiently?
- I hear this a lot “SharePoint drives me crazy sometimes” or “I can never find anything in SharePoint”When you try to fix it…..you can’t
- - Given the changes we talked about in the previous slides lets talk about
- The more ability the business users have the betterRequirements gathering is easiest for the people actually doing the work. They understand the business context, and requirements.Due to project prioritization you may be left waiting….and waiting….and waiting….COMON IT GOOD LORD I NEED A SOLUTION HERE….I NEED SOME HELP …..
- Makes things easier and more efficient for everyone (IT, Admins, and the business users / “CD’s”)We always hear about “best practices”….blabla….I don’t know about you but sometimes I feel like I see more “Worst Practices” than “Best Practices” when it comes to SharePointIt’s not easy
- A governed tool that enabled CDs Address the everyday common scenarios across the entire enterprise.The App Store can provide these types of tools
- I call SharePoint the conveyer beltCan makes the process better, more efficient.Both sides can provide input to improving and managing the process.
- At Progressive the control group had excel spreadsheets all over the placeNo consistency Highly inefficient 1 year later SharePoint was operationally critical to performing their jobsAnd it saved time, eliminated duplication, standardized process, made things faster and easierI was help a number of other groups implement similar solutions
- This wasn’t possible 1 year ago!This is the future!
- In business some parts work together but not very well (in some cases not at all)SharePoint can make the necessary pieces parts work together more effectively.The parts need to be synchronized and SharePoint + App Store tools can help you do thatCan this change how Enterprise software is purchased for SharePoint?I think it canI think it willThere is amazing power when there is a simple easy feedback mechanismGamification, Yelp (Reviewing restaurants, etc.)
- Show how to get to the SharePoint App StoreMicrosoft.Office.ComThrough SharePoint 2013Available apps (remember the # of apps are growing and will increase over time)Install an app (Dell Software Social Hub)Discuss the various license type optionsFreeware vs PaidConfigure the app so it extends native SharePointUse Case: A vendor management office that wants to pull in vendor/market information using social media streamsInstall another App (TBD)Configure the appDiscuss how the app store makes extending native SharePoint much easier than in the pastTalk about the endless opportunities this provides CD’s to make their jobs easier, faster, more efficient
