CloudWhether your strategy is defined, or individuals are adopting solutions on their own, most organizations are accelerating toward the cloudBy offering the attributes of public cloud (economics, scale, pace of innovation) with some of the privacy and control features associated with private cloud, VPCs are effectively addressing many of the objections that have held customers back from the cloud model.

According to IDC, an important factor driving growth in public IT cloud services spending is the expanding variety of cloud deployment options. As these platforms mature, cloud services adoption will increase dramatically. Virtual private cloud (VPC) offerings are shifting momentum from dedicated private cloud offerings toward public (shared/multi-tenant) cloud offerings.

2 Inventory your information assets28Inventory your information assets

Imagine a spreadsheet that has the URL, name, owners, size, and count of sub sites. This information can be pulled from SQL Server and captured in a spreadsheet. This is a recommended best practice because the spreadsheet could then have additional information such as business purpose or customizations that are then filled out during a content audit.

Run a survey how useful is your content? Can people find it? What do people want added? Large pharma company that found that 20% of their content consisted of duplicates of existing content.

IA izncludes the combination of Content, Context, and users. For example, a user opens a main landing page. Does this user see the right content? Is it within the right context? Should this user see this content and in this context? Or should this user be receiving something else in terms of content and experience?

IA considers how information i.e., content is design to flow to a user but also how a user flows to content.

A good example is Amazon. If navigating to the Amazon335 Staff and train your team

Where are people collaborating? Who is (and isn't) participating? How much content is being shared?Where is it working, and where is it not?Why are some teams more successful than others?Where do tools make sense versus team culture?What can you do to support your Power Users?

37What is required?Who manages each site, tool, and system?Do the standards change across teams or tools?What roles and permissions are in place? What can be automated?How transparent does it need to be?What is your ongoing change management and review model?Ask yourself:
