My colleague, David Drinkwine, does a (slightly more than) pen-on-napkin estimate for building a truly world class intranet for a large enterprise organization. You can read about it here: (http://www.bigapplesharepoint.com/pages/View-An-Insight.aspx?BlogID=86&stitle=WCI).

(یادداشت: this article was cross-posted here: http://www.endusersharepoint.com/?p=1912)
بروز 09/01/09: Based on twitter feedback, 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, which use InfoPath (even in MOSS standard edition) don’t work in BPOS because their initiation and other forms use InfoPath. Hopefully that clears things up.
I had a chance to really dig into Microsoft Online’s offering earlier this year and specifically the business productivity online suite (BPOS). This came along before I even hard a firm plan to set out on my own at Arcovis. I immediately saw, اما, 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:
You can buy each of them separately, I believe. 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 استراتژی های ابر and they seem to know their stuff, so I’d include them in your list of vendors if you do a multi-vendor search.
I outline my experience and thoughts for each of these respectively.
This is a hosted exchange environment and from my perspective, 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 (which is huge). Good stuff.
It also provides the Outlook Web Access (OWA) interface. That means I can get my email on any machine that has a web browser.
My HTC mobile phone, 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. در واقع, this is better because it simply works.
Bottom line – hosted exchange is what it needs to be and I’m very happy with it.
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, غیره. 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. اما, for my purposes, it’s great.
تا کنون, 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, my colleagues know when I’m available, what my schedule is like at this moment, and can IM me (though the IM interface is pretty dull, at best). 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, assigned a task, غیره. 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.
My favorite bit, البته, 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:
بطور اساسی, all the stuff you’d expect to use SharePoint for.
Along the way, we use technical features like:
What can’t I do with it? There are a bunch of things that would be nice:
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.
Microsoft provides a nifty desktop application that enables quick and easy access to all of the BPOS functions:
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.
Microsoft made BPOS available to me for free so I am not currently paying the monthly per user fee at this time. اما, 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.
BPOS is an insanely feature rich platform. Exchange, شیرپوینت (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.

I have been following MSDN forums for well over a year (and possibly almost 2 years at this point) 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).
Taking MSDN as an example, I first go to standard forum page such as the General Questions for SharePoint main page here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointgeneral/threads
You should right away notice that the forums are RSS enabled, به عنوان نشان داده شده است:
I’ve been using Google Reader for managing my RSS feeds for a long time now (www.google.com/reader). 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:
Google provides me a nice view of the posting itself:
And finally, Google lets me use the keyboard to scroll through the postings in the forums this way.
I can quickly scan through posts and focus just on those I feel I can make a useful contribution.
Alerts close the loop. Updates to posts don’t come through RSS (though I think they used to a long time ago). اما, if I post a response to a forum posting, the forums alert me via email and IM that someone responded in turn. یا, if I can’t make a useful contribution but I want to know what others have to say, I can drill into it and explicitly request alerts when others do respond.
In an hour or less you can set this process up and and in a week of regular use, learn the various keyboard tricks and shortcuts so that this becomes second nature.
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/.
Forums are an awesome way, possibly the best way short of direct personal experience, of learning the product and getting a nice survey of how the world, at large, uses SharePoint. Give it a try!

The reason we spend so much time (or should, در هر صورت) 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”, همانطور که در:
“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.

من می توانم در طول بزرگ در مورد انجمن MSDN ارسال, علم اداب معاشرت, نامگذاری کنوانسیون, جستجو, غیره. I may do that, در واقع. I wanted to point out a small thing which may help people have a better overall experience.
من به تازگی شده است گفتن مردم است که اگر شما را به نوعی از مشکل با محیط شیرپوینت خود را اجرا کنید, طرح توسعه و یا سایر فعالیت های مرتبط با شیرپوینت, 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, من ایجاد تغییرات در رجیستری را به یک کلید "/ تولی / نوار / almostThere / isThisIt / noThisIsNotIt / iCantBelieveIAmDoingThis / finallyThere!"در مشاوره یک وبلاگ در صفحه 8 of a Google search. When that doesn’t work, من در نهایت یک سوال به MSDN (e.g. اینجا: 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:
پس, بطور اساسی, آن آسان و رایگان است و شما باید در موقعیت خوبی قرار گرفتن برخی از نوع پاسخ, اما آن را در حالی که برای دریافت کنید که پاسخ (دوباره, مگر اینکه شما خوش شانس هستید).
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, اما من نمی (حداقل, من که راه احساس نمی). 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.

من مروری چند بر 2008 and this has got me to thinking about 2009. Here are my guesses at the future of SharePoint in 2009.
من MVP شیرپوینت و به عنوان یک نتیجه, 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.
با که از راه, به پیش بینی ...
I believe that FAST will become a very hot topic in 2009. It’s already well known in the enterprise search community. اما, هر کس که در اطراف نقش با شیرپوینت در 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, تقریبا هر کس که در جامعه شیرپوینت خواهد شد که شنیده و نظر درباره 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. مثلا, 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, شیرپوینت جستجو برخی از ویژگی های FAST اتخاذ.
من باور دارم که خواهد آمد در 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 🙂
من امیدوارم که آن را برخی از پشتیبانی بهتری برای کاربران نهایی در طراح شیرپوینت فراهم می سازد و به خصوص گردش کار.
من نمی دانم که زیاد دیگری, I have been actively tracking what I do find here: http://delicious.com/pagalvin/SharePoint_O14.
امروز, most SharePoint vendors seem to be gadget oriented. Take Bamboo یا Corasworks مثلا. They have a huge following and great portfolio of products. اما, they seem sort of gadgety to me or developer / tool focused. Admin tools, workflow tools, غیره. That’s not a criticism at all because SharePoint can definitely use some gadgets.
به 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, غیره. 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.
در همان زمان, فیلمهای مستند و چیزهای دیگر. NET سوخت جدید, بهتر و جالب تر اسباب بازی.
Sharepointreviews.com تبدیل خواهد شد فروشگاه جامعه ضروری از این محصولات.
2009 ظهور کاربر نهایی به عنوان یک تمرکز عمده برای وبلاگ نویسان, organizations and Microsoft themselves. مارک میلر کاربر نهایی SharePoint.Com نقش بزرگ در 2008 and will continue to do so in 2009. End Users will begin to blog, کمک برای تبدیل گروه های کاربری را به مکان های کمتر فنی و حتی متقاعد کردن کسی یا سازمان برای راه اندازی یک کاربر نهایی خالص متمرکز کنفرانس.
Speaking of conferences – they will continue to expand and grow in number and focus. Aside from end user content, آنها ادامه خواهد داد برای تهیه کردن به توسعه دهندگان و مدیران.
همایش های مجازی، شروع به بلند کردن و موجود در همایش ها خوردها زنده را به شرکت کنندگان از راه دور است که نمی تواند ارائه دهد و یا شخصی به شرکت را انتخاب کنید.
مکان های آزاد را گسترش می دهد, مانند مایک Lotter (و همکاران) شیرپوینت شنبه.
که این امر بسیار مهم است زیرا ادامه خواهد داد هجوم زیادی از توسعه دهندگان جدید را به, مدیران و کاربران نهایی خواهد بود که ولع مصرف این نوع از اطلاعات این گروه را فراهم.
Demand for social computing features will rise. All things being equal, شرکت هایی که پیاده سازی استراتژی های موثر محاسبات اجتماعی را انجام خواهد داد بهتر و قوی تر از رقبای خود.
شرکت های کوچکتر، این ویژگی ها را به سرعت و به طور موثر اتخاذ شده از شرکت های بزرگ.
شرکت های بزرگ: beware 🙂
به 2008, بسیاری از وبلاگ نویسان شیرپوینت و سازمان ها و خود مایکروسافت زمان زیادی را صرف بدانند بهترین راه برای حل مشکلات خاص (معمولا مشکلات فنی).
There are still opportunities to define and foster adoption of best practices. اما, در حالی که ما شده ایم تا بدانند بهترین راه برای نصب, پیکربندی و مدیریت شیرپوینت, صدها و هزاران نفر از شرکت ها شده اند نصب, پیکربندی و مدیریت شیرپوینت بدون آن بهترین شیوه در دست.
به 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 و احتمالا یک صنعت کلبه ارائه خدمات بازسازی برای شرکت های که واقعا نیاز به تخم ریزی و استفاده از شیرپوینت, اما در حال صدمه زدن به بد به دلیل از تصمیم گیری های ضعیف ساخته شده در اوایل اجرای آنها.
به 2009, کشتی مادر باز خواهد گشت و به ارمغان بیاورد فاکس باب خانه.
من شروع کار با شیرپوینت خودم را به هیچ وجه واقعی تا ژانویه 2007. آن را به من به نظر می رسد که شیرپوینت واقعا برداشته و ثابت خود قادر به ارائه بسیاری از ارزش در این دو سال. من فکر می کنم که در بسیاری از, واقعا نه خود راست تا زمانی که زیرساخت های بروز رسانی. هنوز هم دارای اشکالات و مشکلات آن, اما همه ما در طول راه می آیند 01/2007. 2009 است برای رفتن به یک سال بنر برای شیرپوینت.

This is a fairly popular "fabulous 40" قالب. It also has a bug which is widely known (I’ve even blogged about how to fix it).
Sogeti released a codeplex project this week that fixes the bug (which is nice by itself, but not earth-shattering) but they also claim to have solved a much thornier problem: امنیت. The fab 40 template requires a very generous security setting (users needs contributor level access to virtually everything). Not any more! According to the codeplex summary:
"This template also includes a new custom workflow action which enables the template to work without having to give all users contribute permissions to the courses list."
That’s good stuff and worth checking out.
