Një bezdi Pak bartura…

SP2010 stuff është shumë i ftohtë, por unë dëshiroj që ata do të kishin rregulluar të gjuhës në listën e bibliotekave dhe faqet Settings ', kur është fjala për llojet e menaxhimit të përmbajtjes:

Gjuha e njëjta gjë ishte në vend për WSS / myshk.  Vetëm të ndryshojë fjalën "Delete" për të "hequr" dhe ajo do të thjesht të bëjë më shumë kuptim.

SharePoint On Line // BPOs - Disa duart mbi përvojën

(Shënim: ky artikull është ndër-postuar këtu: http://www.endusersharepoint.com/?p=1912)

Update 09/01/09: Bazuar në reagimet e eksitim, I need to clarify that InfoPath is supported in the sense that BPOS provides forms libraries. What I mean when I write "not supported in any way" is that InfoPath forms services functions are not supported. That means that you can’t publish an InfoPath form to BPOS and and have it render in the web browser. It also means that some out of the box workflows, e cila InfoPath përdorimi (madje edhe në MOSS Standard Edition) don’t work in BPOS because their initiation and other forms use InfoPath. Hopefully that clears things up.

Unë kisha një shans për të vërtetë gërmoj në ofertë Online Microsoft në fillim të këtij viti dhe në veçanti suite produktivitetit të biznesit në internet (BPOs). This came along before I even hard a firm plan to set out on my own at Arcovis. I immediately saw, megjithatë, that BPOS could be a key part of my company’s internal infrastructure and over time, it has become exactly that. Arcovis, uses it on a daily basis. I thought I’d share some of that experience from a practical perspective in case you want to evaluate it for yourself or are just curious about it.

As the word “suite” in BPOS implies, you get a small bundle of applications:

  • Exchange
  • Live Meeting
  • Communicator
  • SharePoint

You can buy each of them separately, Unë besoj. It’s all spelled out relatively clearly on the Microsoft online site. You may be able to get better deals through MSFT partners. Arcovis has been working with Strategjitë cloud dhe ata duket se e di stuff e tyre, kështu që unë do të përfshijë ato në listën tuaj të shitësit, nëse ju bëni një kërkim multi-shitësi.

Unë përshkruajë përvojën time dhe mendimet për secilin nga këto respektivisht.

Exchange

Kjo është një mjedis priti shkëmbimi dhe nga perspektiva ime, it works like any other Exchange server I have ever used. It’s fully integrated with all of my fellow Arcovis partners’ environments and gives me access to the calendar (i cili është i madh). Good stuff.

Ajo gjithashtu ofron Outlook Web Access (OWA) interface. That means I can get my email on any machine that has a web browser.

Telefoni im celular HTC, running Windows Mobile 6.1(?) connected to it nicely via Active Sync. It did this in exactly the way I expected and wanted.

I don’t consider myself much more than a casual outlook and exchange user so there may be really important Exchange features that just aren’t supported and I wouldn’t necessarily know it.

I think the strongest recommendation I make for this is that I am completely unaware that my exchange environment is “somewhere else.” I don’t know see any difference in Exchange and how I use it on a daily basis versus the half dozen or so other times I used someone’s exchange environment. Në të vërtetë, this is better because it simply works.

Bottom line – hosted exchange is what it needs to be and I’m very happy with it.

Live Meeting

This is a truly indispensible tool when you’re in the consulting business. I fire up instant live meetings several times a week to show intermediate work product to clients, to watch them break my solutions so that I know how to fix them, do sales presentations, etj. Live meeting is bundled with BPOS and it’s very easy to use.

I’m even less of a live meeting expert than I am on exchange. Megjithatë, for my purposes, it’s great.

Communicator

Deri tani, I use communicator almost only for presence information. I say “only” but have that presence data available to me whenever I’m connect has become addictive. With communicator installed and running, kolegët e mi e di kur unë jam në dispozicion, çfarë orari im është si në këtë moment, dhe mund IM mua (pse ndërfaqe IM është shumë e shurdhër, në të mirë). It’s one of those things that I really miss when I don’t have it. I actually get a little annoyed when my colleagues aren’t running communicator because the presence information is missing.

The presence indicator feels pervasive. It shows up in SharePoint whenever their name appears as an author to a document, caktuar një detyrë, etj. It shows in email, embedded right in outlook. It shows up in the communicator client itself.

For the most it just sits there running in the background and decorates my outlook and SharePoint screens with real-time presence information. It’s very cool.

SharePoint

My favorite bit, sigurisht, is SharePoint.

BPOS provides a modified version of MOSS standard edition. I’ll explain “modified” below. We’ve been using our BPOS SharePoint portal for stuff like:

  • Marketing information
  • Sales (proposals, lead tracking) –> we do plan to invest in a CRM solution but for now, SharePoint is working out as our CRM solution.
  • Partner and customer contacts
  • Kërko
  • Client project information
  • Billing (mainly for storing our invoices)
  • Discussions
  • Prototyping solutions
  • Building out demonstration sites (e.g. e re me qira Menaxhimi i Burimeve Njerëzore proces)
  • Fletët Koha
  • Bashkëpunim dokument

Në parim, të gjitha gjëra që ju do të presin për të përdorur SharePoint për.

Gjatë rrugës, ne përdorim karakteristikat teknike si:

  • Administrim Shkarkimesh Faqerojtësa Fjalorë
  • SharePoint Designer
    • Menu
    • Branding
  • Llojet Përmbajtja
  • CQWP
  • Bibliotekat dokument me kontrollin version
  • Listat e personalizuara për të gjitha llojet e gjërave (si fletët tona të herë)
  • jQuery (dhe të gjithë mirësia që mund të vijnë nga ajo, duke përfshirë thirrjet AJAX për SharePoint Web Services)

Çfarë nuk mund të bëj unë me të? There are a bunch of things that would be nice:

  • I cannot provide anonymous access. Në të vërtetë, i don’t think I can do that for any price. I could be wrong, ose MSFT shpresojmë se kjo do të ndryshojë në të ardhmen.
  • Asnjë InfoPath të çdo lloji.
    • Kjo ka efekt paksa e çuditshme anësore të bllokuar një workflows disa standarde Moss që mbështeten mbi InfoPath.
  • No server side code. That means, ndër të tjera:
    • No event receivers
    • No custom SharePoint designer actions
    • No custom field types
    • No proper SDLC (i.e. features/solutions).
    • No access to stsadm
  • No access to a shared service provider.
    • The last bit is a little sad because we can’t do as much search configuration I would like.

      You basically give up a lot of technical capability and are forced to live within the confines of out-of-the-box SharePoint functionality.

      I can live with that. I have found myself wanting to slap together an event receiver or use a custom action once or twice,, but for the most part, I don’t notice the lack.

      I should add that this is not a comprehensive list of the differences between a hosted “on prem” MOSS environment and SharePoint on line. Cloud Strategies has a very detailed presentation that goes into all that if you’re interested. I’m speaking from the perspective of a business owner leveraging the tool.

      Ease of Use

      Microsoft provides a nifty desktop application that enables quick and easy access to all of the BPOS functions:

      image

      You don’t need to use it, but eliminates the need to log into each of the applications separately and for live meeting, It’s quite nice because you can do a “meet now” session with just 2 clicks (one on the “web conferencing” button above and another on the web browser that pops up). It’s also nice to get OWA with one click, though you can just put that in your browser favorites as well.

      The other major advantage with this desktop application is that it provides a background kind of single sign on service. As long as this is running in the background, I can open up web browsers and connect to my BPOS environment without ever needing to enter credentials.

      Full Disclosure

      Microsoft made BPOS available to me for free so I am not currently paying the monthly per user fee at this time. Megjithatë, I see value there and you can accept on faith (or not) that I would pay for this service. The fact is that I can’t count on Microsoft providing this for free forever and it’s become so strongly integrated with my business that moving … the mind quails.

      Conclusion

      BPOS is an insanely feature rich platform. Exchange, SharePoint (MOSS Standard!), presence, instant live meetings – it’s a lot of functionality that I would sorely, sorely miss if I had to live without it. My business would be severely impacted without it. Could I find replacement functionality? Probably, but I think I would have to cobble it together from a variety of other vendors, complicating my life. BPOS has so far proven itself to be stable and reliable. For the right kind of customer (like my company), BPOS is worth strong consideration.

      Efikase Ndiqni Microsoft SharePoint (dhe të tjera) SharePoint Forumet

      Unë kam qenë pas forume MSDN për më shumë se një vit (dhe ndoshta pothuajse 2 vjet në këtë pikë) and every now and then I hear from someone how “hard” it is to do that. I find it quite easy and thought I’d share my “technique”. This technique also works for www.endusersharepoint.com (http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP).

      Duke MSDN si një shembull, I pari shkoni në faqen forum standarde të tilla si pyetje të përgjithshme për faqen SharePoint kryesor këtu: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointgeneral/threads

      Ju duhet menjëherë të vini re se forume janë RSS aktivizuar, siç tregohet:

      image

      Unë kam qenë duke përdorur Google Reader për menaxhimin RSS feeds tim për një kohë të gjatë tani (www.google.com / lexues). I go there, add the RSS feed for the forum and now I’m getting all new forums posts via RSS. My Google feeds for SharePoint forums look like this:

      image

      Google ofron mua një pamje e bukur e postimit vetë:

      image

      Dhe së fundi, Google më lejon të përdorni tastierën për të lëvizni nëpër postings në forumet në këtë mënyrë.

      Unë mund të shpejt scan nëpërmjet postës dhe të përqëndrohet vetëm në ato që unë ndjej se mund të bëjë një kontribut të dobishëm.

      Alerts close the loop. Updates to posts don’t come through RSS (edhe pse unë mendoj se ato përdoren për një kohë të gjatë më parë). Megjithatë, në qoftë se të postoj një përgjigje ndaj një forum postimit, the forums alert me via email and IM that someone responded in turn. Ose, në qoftë se unë nuk mund të bëjë një kontribut të dobishëm, por unë dua të di se çfarë të tjerët kanë për të thënë, Unë mund të Stërvitja në atë dhe të kërkojë në mënyrë eksplicite alerts kur të tjerët bëjnë përgjigjet.

      Në një orë ose më pak ju mund të vendosni këtë proces dhe deri dhe në një javë të përdorimit të rregullt, të mësojnë truket të ndryshme dhe shkurtesat e tastierës në mënyrë që kjo të bëhet natyrë e dytë.

      I use the exact same technique for End User SharePoint.Com’s “Stump the Panel” forums. This is their RSS feed: http://www.endusersharepoint.com/STP/rss/.

      Forumet janë një mënyrë tmerrshëm, ndoshta mënyra më e mirë e shkurtër e eksperiencës direkte personale, e të mësuarit të produktit dhe për të gjetur një anketë e bukur sa bota, në liri, uses SharePoint. Give it a try!

      Qeverisja është një Plan Marketingu Too

      The reason we spend so much time (or should, dosido) working out governance plans is because we want the SharePoint solution to be as effective as possible. We want good infrastructure and rules to keep it humming and safe in case of disaster. We want good security processes to both properly secure the environment but also make it reasonable to manage. We want a good information architecture that will stand the test of time, ideally managing to survive a major organizational change in the company.

      To achieve that desirable objective, a governance document and plan can devolve into a bunch of “thou shall” and “thou shall not’s”, si në:

      • Thou shall not create SharePoint security group; use AD instead.
      • Thou shall not create folders in document libraries; use content types and views instead.
      • Thou shall create all document content types based off a specific custom base type.
      • Thou shall not create an information taxonomy based off today’s company org chart.

      “Thou shall” and “thou shall not” certainly have their place in the governance plan.

      A more successful governance plan will also have a strong marketing angle. It should sell and justify itself to the maximum extent possible. A truly successful governance plan relies upon the voluntary cooperation of all SharePoint users. (There are fringe cases where community cooperation is not needed, such as when SharePoint is used by a very small number of tightly managed users; I’m sure you can think of others). If the user community doesn’t buy into your governance plan then it will be partially successful at best.

      I use that word “buy” deliberately. The community will buy the governance plan if it’s fundamentally sound and you go to some effort to sell them on it. Selling leads to marketing and that’s why I think that a governance plan should be considered a marketing plan too. Convince your end users that they need to follow the governance plan and they will voluntarily follow it. If you can get a critical mass of people following the governance plan then the plan’s benefits follow and you’ll have a stronger environment for it.

      Përdorimi MSDN (dhe të tjera) Shënoji Forumet Mbështetje për SharePoint

      Unë mund të shkruaj më në gjatësi të madhe rreth forumeve MSDN, rregulla të mirësjelljes, konventat emërtimin, kërkoni, etj. I may do that, në të vërtetë. I wanted to point out a small thing which may help people have a better overall experience.

      Unë kam qenë kohët e fundit duke u thënë njerëzve se në qoftë se ju drejtuar në disa lloj problemi me mjedisin tuaj SharePoint, Projekti zhvillimor ose një aktiviteti tjetër SharePoint lidhura, post a question to the forums earlier in your action chain rather than later. I know for myself that when I have a problem, a number of potential solutions present themselves right away. I order these potential solutions in terms of likelihood, applicability and how easy they are to investigate. I go through that list and by the time I’ve gotten to #10, Unë jam duke e bërë ndryshime të regjistrit të një kyç "/ foo / bar / almostThere / isThisIt / noThisIsNotIt / iCantBelieveIAmDoingThis / finallyThere!"Në këshillën e një blog gjetur në faqen 8 of a Google search. When that doesn’t work, Unë në fund të postoj një pyetje për MSDN (e.g. këtu: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointgeneral/threads).

      I suggest that you reverse that approach. Post the forums much earlier in your investigation because:

      • Është e lirë për ju anyway.
      • Nuk ka asnjë SLA garantuar (nga të cilat unë jam i vetëdijshëm, të paktën).
      • Prandaj, ajo mund të marrë një kohë të gjatë për njerëzit për t'iu përgjigjur.
      • Njerëzit shpesh nuk përgjigjet përfundimisht.
      • Nëse ju prisni derisa 2 ose 3 ditë pas problemit të parë u shfaqën, ju jeni furishëm për një përgjigje dhe forume nuk janë një vend i mirë për ndihmë emergjente (nëse ju jeni me fat).

      Kështu, në parim, është e lehtë dhe të lirë dhe ju keni një e shtënë të mirë në marrjen e disa lloj përgjigje, por ajo do të marrë një kohë për të marrë atë përgjigje (përsëri, nëse ju jeni me fat).

      I used to think that I should hold off on looking for community help because I don’t want to waste someone’s time asking for help when I could find it out myself. Some forum moderators and active participants may feel that way, por unë nuk e bëj (të paktën, Unë nuk do të ndjehen në këtë mënyrë asnjë më shumë). I don’t see any downside. The worst case is that you post a question and then answer it yourself some time later, possibly “wasting” some one’s time. I don’t see a big risk in that and there’s value in the researching of questions like that in any event.

      Parashikimet për SharePoint 2009

      Unë e kam lexuar pak në retrospektivën 2008 and this has got me to thinking about 2009. Here are my guesses at the future of SharePoint in 2009.

      Disclaimer vogël

      Unë jam një MVP SharePoint dhe si rezultat, I sometimes get a little advance information before it’s public. I am NOT making any such information public. I really haven’t been around long enough to be entrusted with that kind of stuff anyway.

      With that out of the way, on to the predictions …

      FAST

      I believe that FAST will become a very hot topic in 2009. It’s already well known in the enterprise search community. Megjithatë, everyone that plays around with SharePoint in 2009 will soon be interested in this product and what it can do for them. New consulting companies will spring up around it and existing partners will work and scramble to add it to its portfolio. This time next year, almost everyone in the SharePoint community will have heard of and have an opinion about FAST.

      FAST is targeted at large companies and that will continue. I think there’s at least an outside chance that Microsoft will release a more focused version of the product that is accessible to smaller companies. Failing that, they will open up the SharePoint search engine so that it can be customized along the lines that FAST can be customized. Për shembull, FAST uses pipeline architecture for consuming content and indexing it. FAST admins and developers can assemble pipeline components per data source and even create new pipeline components. We don’t have this flexibility with SharePoint today. If FAST remains firmly targeted at very large companies, SharePoint search will adopt some of FAST’s features.

      SharePoint V.Next

      I believe it will come out in 2009.

      I believe that it will provide us the ability to secure views on a list or document library. This may be more of a hope than a belief 🙂

      I hope it will provide some better support for end users in SharePoint Designer and particularly workflow.

      I don’t know much else, I have been actively tracking what I do find here: http://delicious.com/pagalvin/SharePoint_O14.

      Vendors Will Create Business Applications

      Sot, most SharePoint vendors seem to be gadget oriented. Take Bambu ose Corasworks për shembull. They have a huge following and great portfolio of products. Megjithatë, they seem sort of gadgety to me or developer / tool focused. Admin tools, workflow tools, etj. That’s not a criticism at all because SharePoint can definitely use some gadgets.

      Në 2009, some vendors (and very possibly Bamboo themselves, if I read this correctly) will put together verticalized business applications in the form of templates, features, solutions, etj. I’m thinking about the fabulous forty templates today but tailored to specific industries. I’m sort of surprised it’s not already exploited this way. SharePoint is a platform for delivering these kinds of things. What’s everyone waiting for? They won’t wait any longer in 2009.

      Në të njëjtën kohë, Silverlight and other cool .NET stuff will fuel new, better and more interesting gadgets.

      Sharepointreviews.com will become the essential community catalog of these products.

      End User Focus

      2009 will see the emergence of the End User as a major focus for bloggers, organizations and Microsoft themselves. Mark Miller’s End User SharePoint.Com played a big role in 2008 and will continue to do so in 2009. End Users will begin to blog, help to transform user groups into less technical venues and even convince someone or organization to launch a pure End User focused conference.

      Conferences, User Groups, Code Camps, etj

      Speaking of conferences – they will continue to expand and grow in number and focus. Aside from end user content, they will continue to cater to developers and administrators.

      Virtual conferences will start to pick up and existing conferences will provide live feeds to remote attendees who cannot or choose not to attend in person.

      Free venues will expand, si Mike Lotter’s (et al) SharePoint e shtune.

      This is going to be very important because there will continue to be a large influx of new developers, admins and end users who will be craving the kind of information these groups provide.

      Computing Sociale

      Demand for social computing features will rise. All things being equal, companies that implement effective social computing strategies will do better and be stronger than their competitors.

      Smaller companies will adopt these features more quickly and effectively than large companies.

      Large companies: beware 🙂

      Best Practices versus Remediation

      Në 2008, a lot of SharePoint bloggers and organizations and Microsoft themselves spent a lot of time figuring out the best way to solve certain problems (usually technical problems).

      There are still opportunities to define and foster adoption of best practices. Megjithatë, while we’ve been figuring out the best way to install, configure and manage SharePoint, hundreds and thousands of companies have been installing, configuring and managing SharePoint without those best practices at hand.

      Në 2009, a lot of companies are going to realize they have some deeply rooted problems to solve and will be looking to the elite members of the SharePoint community and Microsoft for help to fix them. I think this will extend well into 2010 and possibly spawn a cottage industry providing remediation services for companies that really need and use SharePoint, but are hurting badly because of poor decisions made early in their implementation.

      The Mother Ship Will Return

      Në 2009, the Mother Ship will return and bring Bob Fox home.

      Final Thoughts

      I didn’t start working with SharePoint myself in any real way until January 2007. It seems to me that SharePoint has really taken off and proven itself capable of delivering a lot of value in these two years. I think that in many ways, it didn’t really straighten itself out until the infrastructure update. It still has its bugs and problems, but we’ve all come along way since 01/2007. 2009 is going to be a banner year for SharePoint.
