Providing legal guidance to Microsoft employees just got a lot easier for the company\u2019s legal and public affairs division.<\/p>\n

Microsoft\u2019s Corporate, External, and Legal Affairs (CELA) relies on CELAWeb, a major intranet portal powered by Microsoft SharePoint, to deliver legal guidance and connect Microsoft employees to available resources. For years, they\u2019ve done so through a highly customized and centralized Microsoft SharePoint publishing model, sacrificing flexibility and speed for consistency and control.<\/p>\n

That trade-off wasn\u2019t worth it anymore, so the team decided to migrate the site to SharePoint for Microsoft 365, says Anna Henke-Gunvaldson, a senior program manager for CELA.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just finished a complete overhaul,\u201d she says. \u201cWe have a brand-new identity.\u201d<\/p>\n

[<\/em>Learn how Microsoft is supporting the company\u2019s internal use of SharePoint in Microsoft 365.<\/em><\/a>]<\/em><\/p>\n

Transformation time<\/strong>
\n<\/iframe><br \/>\n<em>Watch this video on how Microsoft migrated CELAWeb, the company\u2019s legal and public affairs portal, to the latest version of SharePoint.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s been seven years since CELAWeb last underwent a makeover, and a lot has changed since then.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, a mass migration was underway within Microsoft to move enterprise portals to the latest version of Microsoft SharePoint in the cloud. That undertaking was led by Microsoft Digital. CELA content managers used that migration as an opportunity to centralize their publishing workflows and strengthen content consistency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur goal was to make sure that all our content was consistently high quality,\u201d Henke-Gunvaldson says.<\/p>\n<p>To achieve that quality, the team heavily customized Microsoft SharePoint based on their requirements for user interaction, publishing, and content management that weren\u2019t included by default. Managing such a highly customized version of Microsoft SharePoint required a centralized and tech-savvy publishing team to enforce the standards. Publishing speed took a hit, but that wasn\u2019t the goal\u2014content quality improved.<\/p>\n<p>The trade-offs were worth it, Henke-Gunvaldson says. \u201cWe had to over-engineer things a bit to get things the way we wanted them,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Embracing speed and simplicity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to 2020.<\/p>\n<p>The rigidity of CELAWeb didn\u2019t fit the way CELA worked anymore. It was hard to maintain.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t begin to explain to you how much code we had on the legacy platform,\u201d says Jorge Berlanga, a software engineering manager on the Microsoft Digital team who oversaw the more recent migration of CELAWeb to SharePoint for Microsoft 365. \u201cIt was so complicated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The centralized publishing model was also starting to show its age. New features introduced to Microsoft SharePoint and Microsoft 365 provided an opportunity to restructure the site around publishing speed and ease of use.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"quote-body\"><p>With the new SharePoint, subject matter experts can publish content directly without going through the central publishing team. They simply publish, and the end user can provide direct feedback.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Jorge Berlanga, software engineering manager in Microsoft Digital<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Post-migration, the new CELAWeb is leaner and more agile. The publishing process is now decentralized.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the previous platform, we had a total of four people that performed the editing function for 900 pages of content,\u201d Berlanga says. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t scale, and the content gets outdated due to lack of ownership from subject matter experts (SMEs). With the new SharePoint, SMEs can publish content directly without going through the central publishing team. They simply publish, and the end user can provide direct feedback.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an agile methodology for content publishing, he says.<\/p>\n<p>Since the migration, publishing rates have skyrocketed from roughly 20 posts per month to 300, including revisions. People are publishing more often, then iterating again and again. As a result, CELAWeb can now \u201creact to business needs, world events, and executive orders much more quickly,\u201d Berlanga says.<\/p>\n<p>That speed is born of simplicity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe took a hard look at the capabilities that we wanted to provide,\u201d Berlanga says. \u201cWe asked ourselves if we really need to provide <em>all<\/em> of them, or if being selective would provide a better experience. The approach allowed us to get to out-of-the-box quickly and simplify, simplify, simplify.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All told, Berlanga says, \u201cwe completed the entire migration in about two months and shed so much custom code in the process. It was all painless.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Sam Crewdson, a senior program manager who facilitated the CELAWeb migration from within Microsoft Digital, that painlessness is the entire point. Henke-Gunvaldson refers to the new Microsoft SharePoint as \u201cbasically a content management system out of the box,\u201d and Crewdson agrees. \u201cWe didn\u2019t have to build much in the way of customizations. It was all there already. Addition through subtraction,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Accelerating migration with automation and integration<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 2013, much of the migration was done manually. Not this time.<\/p>\n<p>Because the team could create pages through Microsoft SharePoint APIs, they could also automate parts of the process.<\/p>\n<p>Vishwanadha Goli, a software engineer in Microsoft Digital, handled a lot of the automation work. \u201cWe leveraged some SharePoint libraries to create pages,\u201d Goli says. \u201cMost of the pages were in a simplified, expanded template. To convert classic pages to modern pages, we just had to migrate the content, so we wrote some custom tooling to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That eliminated about 70 percent of the migration work. Microsoft SharePoint\u2019s integration with <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/learn\/powerplatform\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Microsoft Power Platform<\/a> provided other opportunities for automation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat integration is big for us,\u201d Berlanga says. \u201cThose two platforms play very well together. It simplified a lot of the previously highly-engineered solutions down to accessible, flexible solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Automating feedback and content review<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Microsoft Power Platform integration also lends flexibility to CELAWeb\u2019s new publishing capabilities. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/flow.microsoft.com\/en-us\/ui-flows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">User interface (UI) flows<\/a>, a feature of Microsoft Power Platform that automates time-consuming manual processes, streamlines the approval process.<\/p>\n<p>UI flows are also used to collect feedback. \u201cEvery page has feedback control, so end users can quickly send feedback to SMEs,\u201d Berlanga says. \u201cWe use UI flows to trigger emails to surface feedback to a specific set of users.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re handy when it comes to monitoring pages, too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe use Power Platform to query SharePoint and see if the content is rendering. If it\u2019s not, we send an alert to the engineering team,\u201d Berlanga says. \u201cWe\u2019re notified if there\u2019s any sort of issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"quote-body\"><p>I was amazed\u2014I\u2019m still amazed\u2014that this migration was driven by two people and mostly automated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"source\">– Anna Henke-Gunvaldson, senior program manager for Corporate, External, and Legal Affairs<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The speed with which the migration took place wasn\u2019t lost on Henke-Gunvaldson.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was amazed\u2014I\u2019m still amazed\u2014that this migration was driven by two people and mostly automated,\u201d she says. \u201cThe migration from on-premises to cloud took us a long, long time, and one person had to rewrite all our pages by hand. I was blown away that two people and an automated script did this in two weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Berlanga agrees. \u201cI\u2019ve been at Microsoft for 15 years,\u201d he says. \u201cI can\u2019t recall a project of such scale that went live so quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Embracing a new approach to content<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With three major migrations to SharePoint in Microsoft 365 under their belt, Microsoft Digital can now utilize the out-of-the-box configuration that resulted from the CELAWeb deployment to streamline subsequent migrations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll nine of our top sites are slated to go to the new SharePoint,\u201d Crewdson says. \u201cWe expect to complete all nine by the end of calendar year 2021.\u201d To date, 82 percent of all internal Microsoft portal sites have been migrated.<\/p>\n<p>The CELAWeb makeover is already paying off.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have less outdated content, lower cost of delivery, and lower churn due to product changes,\u201d Henke-Gunvaldson says. \u201cBut more than that, the performance and stability you get with the new SharePoint is a huge benefit for us. You get the automatic updates, the automatic bug fixes, all these great search improvements. The whole infrastructure benefits us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Together, the benefits amount to a profound culture change in the way the department approaches content. Prior to the migration, SMEs seldom published content out of frustration with slow publishing speed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow SMEs who previously didn\u2019t engage at all are updating pages 20 times a week, simply because they now have control over their content,\u201d Henke-Gunvaldson says. \u201cNow they\u2019re very engaged. That is exactly what we wanted to accomplish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/itshowcase\/redefining-the-intranet-site-experience-with-sharepoint-in-office-365\">Learn how Microsoft is supporting the company\u2019s internal use of SharePoint in Microsoft 365.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This content has been archived, and while it was correct at time of publication, it may no longer be accurate or reflect the current situation at Microsoft.
