New SharePoint strategy in Aker Solutions
“SharePoint as a Service”:
Implemented SharePoint 2013 as a “private cloud” ready to
onboard almost any amount of applications. Using multiple farms
(Service farms for Search and Office Web Applications) we can
share services across applications and build a more standardized
service delivery for SharePoint.
SharePoint governance
Years with SharePoint experience we see the need of stronger
governance and have worked with this parallell with establishing
the SharePoint 2013 platform and SharePoint as a Service
6 November, 2014 Slide 12

SharePoint strategy established
SharePoint as a platform has an owner
All business applications on the platform are connected to
at least one business driver
All business applications have a business owner and
have a set of policies and controls
Policy for onboarding applications, (develop, test and
deploy)
Governance board run on a regular basis

New product portal
We did little or nothing with content types and term store
in first phase, this will come in the project that has started
now
More personalization on intranet
Team sites – probably cloud based
