Purpose of this Document This document defines the scope, Service Components and Support Services required to deliver this service. Page 4
Service Definition Structure The Structure is designed to enable the clear and accurate definition of services. The structure: Enables the definition of both simple and complex services Creates clarity by clearly defining what organisational/functional units are involved in delivering and maintaining this service Enables clear communication of service targets associated with different service elements Service Support Consists of a defined list of activities, resources and/or processes that are offered by the IT organisation to support the Services customers use. Periodic of review Once this Service Definition is approved by IT at UNSW it will form the initial baseline for future service renewal. Validation of the targets listed in this definition will be reviewed by the Service Management Office after 6 months from acceptance of the initial definition. Monthly performance reports will be provided; however a realistic operational time frame is required to gather quantitative data before a review is recommended. All service reviews will be conducted on an annual basis once the 6-month review is complete. The Service Management Office is accountable for initiating this review and managing service improvement opportunities through to a successful conclusion. Page 5
Enterprise SharePoint Service Description Service Item Details This section provides information on what the service is known as and who within IT at UNSW owns the service. Service Name Enterprise SharePoint Service Group Service Description IT Infrastructure Services, SharePoint Team The Enterprise SharePoint Service provides an online collaboration and communication tool for UNSW business units and groups to use for a range of purposes including intranet web sites, workgroup collaboration and document sharing, or as a platform for simple workflow based processes (e.g. request and approval). The Basic Service offered by IT at UNSW is a SharePoint site hosting service, where IT at UNSW is responsible for supporting the underlying infrastructure and ensuring the system performs to the agreed levels of service defined in this document. IT at UNSW can provide or arrange consulting services to assist customers with initial planning and implementation of their site, or updating their site at a later stage, however this is not a feature of the basic service and is chargeable. Each business unit or group using the service is responsible for the administration of their site(s), site design, content management and ensuring that they are using the SharePoint product in an appropriate and effective way. In order for these aspects to be managed effectively, each business unit or group that uses the service must allocate staff to be responsible for the site maintenance and development. A description of these roles is provided in the Support Services section of this document. Page 6
Service Options Description Pricing This section provides information on the key components that make up the service offering. The options presented here apply to both new customers wishing to establish a SharePoint site, and existing customers who wish to change their site. IT at UNSW will monitor customer site usage and pro-actively contact customers if their capacity requirements change significantly. This may trigger a re-assessment of the most appropriate service option. Basic Service This service is suitable for customers where all users have a Z ID, and the number of users logged into the service at the same time is less than 500. The Basic Service includes the following components, with a : An upfront assessment of requirements to ensure the most appropriate service offering is selected (Basic, Large/Public or Advanced). Access to the basic out of the box functionality as detailed in the tables below under Basic Service Functionality. UNSW Branded SharePoint site templates. 5 days 1 of engagement with SharePoint Services staff to perform the initial deployment of the SharePoint site(s). This includes: o o o o Discussion and education on site branding, navigation, basic functionality, access permissions, clarification of support roles and responsibilities. Completion of a site(s) configuration template Deployment of sites and SharePoint services (Top level structure only) Refinement of Deployment Configuration. 10GB 2 initial quota for Content Storage per customer. Additional storage must be formally requested, and is capped at 30GB under the Basic Service. Customer business units are required to nominate staff to administer and be responsible for their site. o o Self paced training will be provided for administrators; however this will only provide a basic overview of administration tasks. An external training course (provided by Dimension Data) is highly recommended for these staff to ensure they have the appropriate skills and knowledge of the SharePoint product. (~$600 per person). Up-front: $4k (5 day engagement at IT Rate Card) On-going: No charge 1 If there is a need for a longer engagement to establish the site(s), IT at UNSW will recommend the Advanced Features, Design and Development Service option described below. 2 If a Customer uses (or requires more than) a 10GB storage allocation for Site Content, they have the option of purchasing more storage in blocks of 10GB. Page 7
Large / Public Service Advanced Features, Design and Development The Large / Public Service has the same features as the Basic Service, however this service is suitable for customers: o o o who have a requirement for greater than 500 users logged in to the site at the same time, or that wish to enable access for public users / users that do not have a Z ID. require more than 30GB of storage. The intent of this service option is to ensure that larger customers do not impact on the other service customers by consuming a disproportionate amount of system capacity. To mitigate against this, sufficient capacity must be added to the infrastructure platform to support large customers. This service offering includes: An upfront assessment of requirements and estimate of costs. All features of the basic service. Deployment of appropriate infrastructure capacity to the SharePoint system. Note that this option may lead to a high cost solution. The Team site service may be a more cost effective option for customers that require a website style of solution (i.e. no collaboration features). The Advanced Features, Design and Development Service is appropriate for customers who: Require access to Advanced features: Reporting Services, Forms, and Workflow, or Custom Authentication. (See the table below for description of Advanced Features.) Require consulting services for the design, development and implementation of their SharePoint site. Have a requirement for a customised SharePoint application. Have high security requirements This service offering includes: All aspects of the Basic Service + Up-front estimate of costs A project engagement with SharePoint specialists to plan, design and implement the SharePoint site. The scope of this engagement is flexible depending on the needs of the business unit. Agreement on support arrangements: A separate service definition (agreement) is recommended, and depending on requirements, additional support personnel may be required. Up-front: Labour and Materials costs (infrastructure) As per IT Rate Card On-going: depends on scope of solution Up-front: Labour and Materials costs As per IT Rate Card I On-going: depends on scope of solution Note: there will be limits on the number of customers that can be engaged each month due to effort bundled in to each engagement. It is suggested that less than 4 customer sites be planned for each site as a limit on the workload for staff involved in the provisioning process, however this number may vary based on other workload demands. Page 8
Basic Service Functionality Description This section provides information on the key functions available with the MS SharePoint 2010 product. Note that it is the responsibility of each customer to nominate which functionality they need included in their site. Web Content Team Sites 3 + Document Sharing mysites SharePoint Search In browser Word, Access, Visio, PowerPoint and Excel viewing and editing Metadata Review and Approve Workflow SharePoint can be used to host web content for internal purposes e.g. a business unit intranet site. An intranet web site contains static content that is used for the purposes of communicating within an organisation, or providing reference information. Web content can have access restrictions applied that only allow designated users or groups of users to view certain pages. Team sites represent online collaboration spaces and can have a range of functionality incorporated including: Web Content; Lists of contacts, actions, tasks, issues or risks; Team calendar; Document Library for uploading documents, collaborating on documents, or publishing documents. Team site content can have access restrictions applied to limit access to certain pages or items to a specified group or individual. my Sites are online user profiles that contain information about an individual. Each mysite is owned by the corresponding user, and only they have permissions to update their profile. The use of my Sites is optional. SharePoint has a built in search capability that allows users to search for documents or web content within a site. Users have the ability to edit Word, Access, Visio and Excel documents that are stored within a SharePoint site using their Internet Browser, as long as they are using Internet Explorer version 7 32bit or later, or Firefox version 3.6 or later on a Windows Computer. All Windows XP SOE computers are compatible with this feature; however Mac computers are not compatible with this feature. Note that Windows Computers running Internet Explorer 64bit are not compatible with this feature. SharePoint has the ability to assign metadata (categories or tags) to documents or other items. Metadata tags can have a hierarchical structure. Metadata is a powerful tool for managing documents because it ensures consistent use of terminology and provides better search results. The Basic Service includes 2 out of the box workflows Review and Approve which can be assigned to documents. 3 Team sites in SharePoint are completely separate to the the IT at UNSW web hosting service Teamsite. Page 9
Basic Service Functionality Content Types Social Computing Description SharePoint has the ability to pre-define categories of documents that have a consistent set of properties such as a standard template; standard metadata; policies (e.g. expiration date); workflow (e.g. review and approve). Content types are made accessible to end users through the new command (often displayed within team workspace SharePoint sites) which will present a drop down list of content types / templates. Content types provide teams with a means to ensure consistent documentation, process, categorisation of documents and an ability to filter search results based on the metadata assigned to different content types. SharePoint 2010 includes several social computing features such as: - Communities - Micro-blogging (comments and custom tagging of SharePoint content e.g. a news item may have the following tags Christmas Party, 2011, Academic Staff ) - Social Networking an online network of colleagues / other SharePoint users. - Newsfeeds - My Sites user profiles (already described above) All of these features are optional. Advanced Service Functionality Description These features are not enabled by default. Reporting Services Forms Custom Workflow Custom Authentication Third Party Product Support SharePoint has the ability to create charts and interactive dashboards for viewing data. On-line forms can be used for collecting data, or as part of a simple workflow process. Workflows in SharePoint enable manual paper or email based processes to be streamlined and in some cases automated. Forms / documents can be sent to: People one by one after each other ( = serial), or Everyone at the same time ( = parallel) The standard mechanism for logging in to SharePoint will be to use Z-Pass. Other forms of authentication may be possible and are regarded as advanced configuration. There are many third party plugins and tools for SharePoint that require implementation and system integration before new functionality can be used. Page 10
SharePoint Client Support Internet Browser Description Not all internet browsers give users access to all of the SharePoint and Microsoft Office integration features: Full Functionality is available using Internet Explorer 7 32bit or later on a Windows Computer. (Windows XP SOE Computers get Full Browser Functionality.) Partial Functionality is available using Internet Explorer 7 64bit or later on a Windows Computer, or Firefox 3.6 or later (Windows, Mac, or Linux Computer), or Safari 4.04 or later on a Mac.The following functions are unavailable within these Internet Browsers: Connect to Outlook, Connect to Office, and Sync to SharePoint Workspace Datasheet view Drag and Drop Web Parts Edit in Microsoft Office application Microsoft InfoPath 2010 integration Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 Picture Library integration Microsoft Visio 2010 diagram creation New Document Rich Text Editor Basic Toolbar Send To Signing Forms (InfoPath Form Services) Spreadsheet and Database integration Web Part to Web Part Connections Slide library and PowerPoint 2010 integration A detailed description of compatibility is provided by Microsoft here. Users on Firefox, and Safari browsers can still interact and publish documents to SharePoint sites, however this requires a more manual approach where documents are first saved, then manually uploaded to the site. Page 11
SharePoint Client Support Microsoft Office Version Description Feature Office 2007 Office 2010 Office 2011 Save and open files from SharePoint sites. Check out and check in documents to SharePoint sites. Protect documents from unauthorized access or distribution from within the Office client applications by using Information Rights Management.

Enterprise SharePoint support services The following diagram depicts the different levels of support including non- IT teams. Note that end users can engage support either through the Service Centre as per other IT Services, or they can approach staff in their own unit who have been nominated to perform duties regarding the site. Level 0: Customer Tenant + Site Administrators End User Infrastructure Services Level 2: SharePoint Farm Administrators Level 3: Infrastructure Services Teams Level Level 2: 2: Infrastructure Infrastructure Services Services Level 1: Service Centre Level 1.5 Level 2: Customer Site Administrators (Custom Apps) IT Ent Systems Level 3: Custom Application Support Level 3: Other Development Group Service Management Office Level 4: (Product vendors) The structure includes optional Level 2 and 3 support teams for customers who have deployed custom SharePoint Applications using their own support development teams. In this scenario there would be delineation of responsibilities between the ITU SharePoint Level 2 and the Faculty Level 2 team, where the ITU team is responsible for the overall environment and the Faculty team would have limited administrative access to the SharePoint Farm. However this is not a standard feature of the support structure and would only apply under approved circumstances. It is recommended that for any applications deployed to SharePoint, a formal discussion and agreement takes place to define the support arrangements and that this is reflected in the CA Service Desk tool configuration of resolver groups, and incident / request categories. Page 14
Enterprise SharePoint Support Services Whilst IT at UNSW provides this service, the following pages reflect what organisational/functional units are involved in delivering and maintaining this service. Level 0 Customer Tenant + Site Collection Administrators General Description Each business unit or group that uses the SharePoint Service is responsible for performing their own site maintenance; administration and content management as well providing basic support to end users for their site.
