From Pilot Basecamp to Scaling the Peaks: Scaling up SharePoint at Historic England

The most common questions for organisations coming out of the pilot phase of rolling out SharePoint are: “What next?” and “How long will it take?” 

In reality, we cannot replicate the bespoke experience of a pilot design for everyone when working at scale. A more standard approach is needed. But it’s a fine balance achieving that standard while meeting the needs of your stakeholders.

Historic England will discuss how, working with Metataxis, we successfully took our SharePoint project beyond pilot to scale up. Historic England faced many of the common challenges of SharePoint adoption: limited resources; great complexity; high user expectations; pressure to deliver, and large migration legacy.

Learn how Historic England adopted standardised structures and templates, developed metadata models which were repeatable and reusable. We will reveal how we consulted with stakeholders regarding SharePoint information architecture and how we translated user requirements into a viable, organisation-wide SharePoint structure.
