Enterprise Search
Search: A Serious Enterprise Search ContenderHistorically• FAST was an add-on to SharePoint 2010• Incremental crawls led to stale search results• Best Bets used to refine search results• Poor search results with little relevance and
intelligence• Cumbersome user experience
SharePoint 2013 Search• FAST is now seamlessly integrated into SharePoint
2013 at no additional cost to the end user• Continuous crawl increases freshness• Query Rules are used create Promoted Results • Addition of Analytics allow for intent-driven search
capabilities• User experience (UX) has been dramatically
enhanced
Gartner’s Magic Quadrant
Create YouTube-like video experiences through Search
View video thumbnails without leaving your search page
Visual refiners
Dive into the part of the
document that matters most
Live previews of documents
New Hover Panel changes
based on content type
Search: Improved Results UI
Search: Personalized Behaviors
When searching for documents, new intelligence recalls previous behavior to quickly surface relevant documents that you’re likely to be searching.
A list of Results you’ve clicked and Suggested documents to follow helps you narrow files based on your intent
Collaboration: Capabilities With Just One Click
Users can now collaborate even better by leveraging the new Facebook-like paradigm of “following” content. Sharing content no longer requires multiple steps.
Share and Follow buttons are universally placed on every file, site and contact
Within your profile, you can easily manage and monitor the people, documents, sites and tags you are following
Collaboration: Edit Documents Simultaneously
There is no longer a need to email large documents back and forth for collaborative editing. SharePoint emphasizes its collaborative features by enabling co-author capabilities and managing tracked changes for you.
Quick view into others editing the document at the same time
Can view changes by others in real-time
Intranet/Extranet: OOB Opportunities
SharePoint 2013’s flat intranet and extranet design encourages developers with basic skills to create a unique and branded experience for the firm.
Out-of-the-box features allow organizations to create a dynamic, interactive and informational environment, such as:

Apps: SharePoint Application Evolution
2003 – What is an Application?-SharePoint was not an Application Platform, except web parts-Investments were in portals and content
2007 – Everything is an Application!-Push to embrace SharePoint for LOB applications-Experience was to write custom server side code
2010 – Choose the right Application-SharePoint and Developer Tools come together-Silverlight, CSOM and other new capabilities-Partially trusted code reduces impact and risk to farm
2013 – Redefine Application as App…-Client side experience via html or iFrame-Leverage CSOM and REST APIs from Azure and other clients-Investments in app discovery and management via SharePoint store

Apps: What is a SharePoint App?
Is the future proof way to add new capabilities to SP2013+Is available from Corporate Catalog and/or SP Store Is easy to install by site owners or Tenant/Farm Admin
Is a web application that runs “OUTSIDE” of SharePointUses CLIENT APIs to talk to SharePoint (JS, REST, and .NET)
Apps: Build Alongside SharePoint
SharePoint now emphasizes The App Model (vs. Solutions) which allows developers to build alongside SharePoint.
Custom code never runs on the SharePoint server.• Custom application code runs either on a web browser or on a separate
server
Why Do You Care? • Reduces risk - Vulnerabilities and
dependencies are mitigated• Better performance - Environment remains supported• Minimizes hesitation to make updates• Latest capabilities will be enabled• Does not lock your firm into your current
version of Sharepoint• SharePoint cloud environments may now
seem more attractive
Apps: Developer Skillsets
Earlier versions of SharePoint emphasized Full Trust Solutions, requiring heavy SharePoint skills.
The App Model is a demonstration of Microsoft’s commitment to the shift in industry standards.

Business Intelligence
Excel BI:
In-Memory BI Engine (IMBI): The In Memory multidimensional data analysis engine (IMBI), also known as the Vertipaq engine, allows for almost instant analysis of millions of rows and is a fully integrated feature in the Excel client.
Power View Add-in for Excel: Power View enables users to visualize and interact with modeled data by using highly interactive visualizations, animations and smart querying.
Decoupled PivotChart and PivotTable reports: Users can now create PivotChart reports without having to include a PivotTable report on the same page.
