SharePoint

Mobility Challeng

es

UX Constraints: Innate capability of SP lacks Mobile friendly and rich UI

Browser Interface: SP content layout unsuitable for small devices

Content as "Portal": Users need specific & Personalized content

Mobile Interactivity: Restricted functionality & response

Limitations of UI controls and navigation for touch enabled devices

Mobilize Share PointUse SharePoint native functionalities

Key considerations in Mobilizing SharePoint

Identify key features & use cases to be implemented for user delight and adoption: Check-out feature vs. offline access

Plan for a dynamic and rich user interface that leverages full capability of touch enabled navigation and interaction

As most of the SP solutions are confidential, access from mobile devices needs to meet organizational security policies.

SharePoint does not provide easy way to access data that is “mobile app ready”. Conversion, filtering etc. is required

Selection of content from SharePoint portal that should be delivered to mobile devices. All content is not possible and should not be delivered
