Thought it’d be great to start a discussion about the options, challenges and configuration required to integrate on-premise SharePoint with 365 (or even private clouds such as Fpweb.net).
What are the main areas to think about (e.g security, authentication, performance, latency …) ? If you can share your experiences, we’d love to hear about them!
Thanks
Mark
Thanks Nico … interesting point about on-premise also being as bad as Office 365 when it comes to NSA / CIA access.. Governments can get what they want most of the time, regardless of the location…
Hi Mark,
In my experience, the biggest issue still is trust and the Patriot act. When I’m talking to customers (mostly Enterprise), they are all worried about their data and privacy. I would also like to note that for 90% of the customers, they shouldn´t worry about the patriot act, as their own security is VERY probably worse than O365. Think about what information the NSA/CIA could get if they wanted it.
The technical part is pretty easy to set up, and can achieve SSO by using ADFS. You can specify which devices can access the O365 services there and set up any restrictions you want.
Another issue I’m often facing is the latency in Office365 (Especially SP Online). In my experience, SharePoint Online is pretty slow when browsing regular sites. However, Microsoft is improving this, so I expect to see this in the near future.
Hi mark/ lasse
we are us based IT company. we have developed a product. it’s a case management system or a ticketing tool you can call it. it is developed on SharePoint 2010 Platform and with the increasing demand and companies migrating from SP 2010 to SP 2013 and also Office 365 we are trying to migrate it to SP 2013 and office environment. Though out technical team is expertise in this area as our company has done numerous migration and integration’s in the past still they are facing certain issues in migration once it is done i will post you guys with process in detail.
below is the link to website where you can find information on our product.
I have never heard of a hybrid!? Looking forward to an interesting insight of this. Hoping it will be somewhat towards the technical aspects.
Mark! I think it is a great idea. But don’t be surprised if it is somewhat quiet here because this is kinda new. No customer of mine have even begun to get around to migrate to SP 2013, even less to go from on-premises to 365.
Hi john, be really interested to see how it pans out for you. I am looking at this from a vendors point of view as well..
