SharePoint 2013 Mobile App Device Support Matrix

In preparing for my Mobile Enterprise Strategy Session in London, I put together two different mobile app support matrices. People want to see what works on what platform. None of this I’m calling Official. This is my experience and from my own testing. There may be bugs and you need to should also verify this yourself if you have any questions. If you disagree with anything please add in the comments so I can either update or you can make others aware.

If you want the full slides you can download them here: SharePoint 2013 Mobile Enterprise Strategy. Despite the fact that it says only says SharePoint on some of these images. This applies to SharePoint 2013 On Premises, Office Online, OneDrive, and Office 365. I’m sure MS would like to know what you use that is missing from apps they are targeting for your device.

Enjoy! Feel free to download this infographic “SharePoint 2013 Mobile App Platform Supportability Matrix” or share it on your own blog!

I love seeing all these boxes. Reminds me of a conversation with Noah Sparks in 2013. We asked… Will Microsoft ever check all the boxes? They checked all those… so I had to add more!

Here’s the extended Office 365 and SharePoint mobile platform and OS support matrix.

Microsoft doesn’t officially support Linux, and I’ve never seen anything officially called out about Kindles, but I do know there is an Ubuntu community that uses Office Online and OneDrive.

Any Doubts Office 365 is More Secure Than Your Datacenter? [Infographic]

It was originally posted “10 Hard Facts That Prove Your Data’s Safer in Office 365 [Infographic]” by Ben Niaulin. I put together an infographic myself based on the Office 365 Trust Center to help you in your efforts to share critical information about security and privacy. I like how these Infographics help to make the business case and can help bring awareness to the emphasis Microsoft has put on building Trust and really cares about data security.

Search-First Approach to SharePoint 2013/2016 Migration Infographic

I’m working on a strategy paper on the Search-First approach to migrating or upgrading SharePoint. I see three big phases to this approach. The first is building out the brand new ultimate farm, the SharePoint farm that provides enterprise search. Many may decide that this first state should also provides profiles and also may provide the new OneDrive to also get people started with SharePoint. Those who previously deployed my sites, may wait for phase 2 for that. I’ll be providing more detail in the paper on these phases and a few recommendations on the strategy. Love to get feedback from those who have approached the upgrade and migration in this manner.

Those that are planning an upgrade SharePoint on prem should consider a search-first migration. The Search-First approach to migration assumes you want to get started, and you are willing to invest in separate infrastructure for SharePoint 2013 Search and leave your existing farm alone for some period of time with the idea of indexing that content with the new farm. This approach allows organizations to benefit from the improved functionality and user experience while requiring relatively low effort. Microsoft has dramatically improved search in SharePoint 2013 in three key areas: User Experience, Relevancy Tuning and Infrastructure. I’m working on a paper that will highlight these enhancements while illustrating the benefits of a search-first approach. In our experience, a good deployment of search can help with adoption of other structured and unstructured collaborative or portal based workloads by providing discovery, findability and refinement for content most important to the enterprise. This article begins with an introduction to the new features and improved look and feel along with other search relevance, and infrastructure flexibility enhancements that demonstrate the support for Search-First approach to migration.

Organizations that are overwhelmed by the thought of migrating the substantial content they house in SharePoint 2016, 2013, 2010 or SharePoint 2007 farms will be encouraged by a Search-First approach. This strategy does not require any changes to the existing infrastructure and provides a mechanism for content to remain in current repository while the technology and search engine for the enterprise takes a leap forward. After understanding the improvements in UI and UX, relevancy and infrastructure it’s easy to see why customers would be looking to implement a Search-First approach to deploying or migrating to SharePoint 2013.

Office 365 Security and Compliance Infographic

After watching a few of the videos from Julie White, and digging into the information in the NEW Office 365 Trust Center TrustOffice365.com, I was convinced that customers don’t really know how secure Office 365 really is. Just a week ago, someone was saying they were looking for encryption in Office 365. It’s already there, as are a ton of things compliance and security standards that are unmatched. I believe Office 365 has more compliance and security standards as a platform than any other cloud service…. period!

I put together an infographic based on some of the statistics and information on their top 10 lists of security and compliance to help spread awareness. Hope you enjoy it! Feel free to share or reblog.

Worldwide uptime number for Office 365 beginning July 2012 has been 99.98%, 99.97%, 99.94% and 99.97% respectively with most recent quarter at 99.98% see the TrustOffice365.com for more.

SharePoint Search Tips and Tricks Infographic for Power Users

When I started diving into search, I found there is A LOT of useful things to know about how to leverage that little search box. While the typical user only uses 1.2 words and rarely if ever uses boolean search queries, there are a number of things including a powerful new Keyword Query Language that have been added to beef up that little search box. I’ve been doing a number of search sessions and have started gathering that knowledge into a series of Infographics. This is the first.

You can download my PowerPoint deck on the topic of Power User Search in SharePoint, but I’ve tried to consolidate the BEST Of POWER QUERIES in this single little Infographic. Feel free to Share this Infographic and even use it in your blogs. I acknowledge that much of it is buried in TechNet Articles, SharePoint Search Help pages, but this dandy little one pager can be laminated and used in your search brown bags. The Last Modified Search by date was something I had to reverse engineer by URL unencoding and piecing it back together. I’ve been working on getting this info in a single page for over a month. I hope you LOVE It!

I am working on a series of Infographics on the topic of Enterprise Search… stay tuned to this blog!
