So, IT SharePoint developers, you've built it, but will they come? Adoption connects business users with business content by addressing basic questions of What's In It for Me? Your WIFM strategy must define and communicate where your users (and their sites) are coming from and where they're going, how to get from here to there, what's different, and why change (now) is important. NTT DATA Corp IT Collaboration Services used M&A integration as business and IT drivers to consolidate four legacy intranets onto a new intranet portal and a common, Microsoft-compliant enterprise information architecture that migrated, refreshed, and archived 2TB of content in 5500 sites for over 10,000 users with 100% uptime and "no user--or document--left behind." The team designed an Agile, governance-driven migration process that balanced business continuity with organizational change management by promoting and advocating business self-service content ownership and site administration, and engaged business owners and users at every step through monitoring, outreach, and training. One year after initial launch, three legacy platforms are retired, and the 445 site collections on the NTT DATA SharePoint platform receive over 2 million views a month: an average user logs in more than 4x/day. IT Collaboration Services sponsors the NTT DATA SharePoint User Group and Knowledge Management Working Group that provide advisory services in architecture, design, and configuration for the more than 800 business administrators who manage their own collaboration and publishing sites as self-service under a third-generation SharePoint governance plan. And, since the platform was architected for business agility, business and IT teams are now partnering for the first stage of business-driven upgrade to SP2013 on a common, global NTT DATA SharePoint deployment.
This presentation will highlight and demonstrate the key deliverable behind this success story: an enterprise Portal Information Center that includes a Quick Start knowledgebase, Migration Center, Enterprise Site Directory, Collaboration Community of Practice, SharePoint User Group, KM Working Group, Governance Handbook, and a set of Enterprise Information Architecture example site collection templates and KM analysis tools designed for no-code configuration and business self-service administration.
Governance and adoption work together when IT and the business work together as partners for managed self-service. If you build it with them and bring it to them, they will come: and they will build it with you the next time, or even build it themselves using the same guidelines and standards. Now that's SharePoint adoption AND SharePoint governance.
