• Questions & Answers

Ah, the marketing department.

Your view:

Theirs.

And when you talk to them?

This != Kansas.

Users, to them.

Users, to you.

Implementation, to them.

SO PRETTY!

Implementation, to you.

That difference in worldview can be a right pain when you’re trying to work

together.

What they want…

You’ve got it.

SO PRETTY!

Your view:

Theirs.

What can you do? How do you make the case?

Understand the Marketer’s mind.

(Yes, they have one.)

Think “big concept”

• What’s next

• What’s new

• What works

They care about:

• End result

• Ease of use

• Time

• Money

• How close to “next” it is

Interesting…

You care about:

• Functionality

• Maintenance requirements

• Scope

• Security

• Stability

Their view:

Does it have a heart?(Does it support the brand?)

Yours.

Does it have a brain?(Does it make sense?)

So your job? (And our job today?)

Have courage.

Tell your story…

In their words.

Your view:

Theirs.

Marketing Says…

• “I need to communicate with my agency and channel partners.”

• “I need to share content with them.”

• “I need it to be branded.”

Translation

• I need an Extranet or Partner Portal.

• I need to create documents in Office and put them on the portal.

• I want to upload content once and push it out to different audiences.

• And by the way it needs to look pretty.

How SharePoint can help

• Built-in portal and collaboration tools

• Integration with Microsoft Office

• Mixed authentication modes

• Configurable style sheets, themes, and page layouts, and master pages.

• Robust workflow engine

Case Study

• Custom forms based authentication– Let’s channel partners only see the content they have rights to

• Branded solution– Fits within the look and feel of the corporate brand standards

• Robust content approval process– Authors submit content for partner portal sites and sets

metadata.– “Queen” reviews document and metadata and pushes content

to various partner portals.– Channel managers have approval over if the content is

appropriate for their portal.

Marketing Says…

• “I need a place to store all my photos,”

• “and can I use it for audio and video,”

• “and can I search for things,”

• “and it needs to be as easy as YouTube.”

Translation

• I need a Digital Asset Management System

• I need a searchable rich media library

• It needs to be easy to put data in

• It needs to be easy to use the data after I find it.

• Drop-off Library

• Managed Metadata Service

• Silverlight media player

Case Study

• SharePoint Drop-Off Library

• Files are moved to correct location based on metadata

• Managed Metadata Service

• Silverlight media player

Marketing Says…

• “I need a kickass website”

Translation

• I need a kickass website

• It needs to incorporate all the latest web based features.

• It needs to be dynamic

• It needs to use social media

• It needs to be easy to use

• It needs to be really pretty

• Web content management functionality

• Robust search engine

• All the functionality of SharePoint

• Diffused content management

• Templates based layout locks down design makes it easy for non-technical users to manage content.
