The Solution

The Solution has already been provided for us in terms of technology, the new hosting solution is a single sign on system SharePoint Office 365 environment. SharePoint allows for users to logon to the system with single sign on. The most important issue for us is to manage the content and move it over to the new system.

Research

Conduct a site audit current information. The new site is powered by SharePoint / Office 365.

Card sort, the navigation of the website is controlled by corporate. With that said, under the Information Technology under Implants division SharePoint navigation can be customized to our needs. The following exercise was a card sort to finalize the website. This navigation will resemble two sites the Information Technology internal members site and the home office for Implants members.

Construct

This is the process of determining how the site will look like. Where the documents reside. Who will have access to the new sites documents and libraries. How will the documents and navigation items be organized?

Design

Full case study process, this is an always evolving site the content will change as new products are released from vendors and our own applications and services. The project so far is a success in terms of ease of use and access control. The content was also migrated successfully as old irrelevant content was removed (archived).
