1. Planning and Architecture
|
Plan the physical architecture (server farm and network topology) and logical architecture (services infrastructure and hosting environments) of your SharePoint implementation. Questions answered: What are the hardware and software system requirements? How many servers will I need to support my environment, based on the number of users, locations, capabilities/services used, amount of content, performance requirements, etc? How should I think about capacity planning and business continuity management?

2. Governance
|
Put a Governance Plan in place to enforce corporate policies, comply with financial, industry or government standards, identify security roles, team responsibilities, and define processes that guide, direct, and control your enterprise SharePoint Collaboration Platform. Questions answered: What are my company’s information architecture and management principles and goals? What kind of document retention and auditing policies are required? What should my corporate taxonomy look like? What security policies, authentication and access controls do I need to put in place? What are the training, support and service levels? What kinds of customizations should I allow? |
