Information Architecture in Sharepoint 2013



Information Architecture
Information architecture determines how the information in that site or solution—its webpages, documents, lists, and data—is organized and presented to the site’s users. Information architecture is often recorded as a hierarchical list of content, search keywords, data types, and other concepts.

Ways to improve the organization's information architecture efficiencies
  • Use metadata to make it easier to search for and compare related data or content.
  • Manage versions and records to ensure that you can tell which is the authoritative version of a document.
  • Catalog and store information properly so decision-makers can find and rely on the right data.
  • Design navigation and present information so that users can find important sites and information.
  • Integrate your information architecture with your environment's search strategy, so your users can find the right information. Information architecture includes the wireframe and site map, search and navigation, managed metadata tags, and content types.
  • Define a publishing strategy: distribute authoring tasks and use cross-site publishing to control the design of the site and display of the content.

SDLC with ALM  Development is certainly the fundamental part of application lifecycle management. Once the business case is approved, the software development lifecycle begins. If we expanded the SDLC parts of the Development line shown in the figure below, a modern process would probably show software development as a series of iterations. Each iteration would contain some requirements definition, some design, some development, and some testing. This iterative style of development isn’t always appropriate—some projects are still better done using more traditional methods—but it’s becoming the norm in many areas. Once the SDLC process for version 1 of the application is complete, the application is deployed. For most applications, however, deployment doesn’t mark the end of development. Instead, the application needs periodic updates, as shown in the figure, and perhaps one or more full SDLC efforts to create new versions, as in this example. For some applications, the mon

What's new in Sharepoint 2016

Image
Microsoft confirmed that SharePoint Server 2016 will become generally available in Q2 2016, with a public beta planned for Q4 2015. What to expect in 2016? On-premises support will be around for the foreseeable  future. Continued support on combination of on-premises, cloud and hybrid deployments for many years to come. Microsoft is moving more to a cloud-based identification model with SAML and OAuth Nondefault ports can be used for connection encryption, rather than just using Port 25 Site creation is no longer a "heavy operation" but now will be "small and fast" Project Server will be integrated into SharePoint content databases (although you don't get it for free) Microsoft will make "durable links" for finding files so that it won't matter if the file name gets changed or if the file gets moved Microsoft is adding an ODF file saving capability Improved user experiences Cloud-inspired infrastructure Compliance and reporting
