Overview
Cherry Bekaert – 900/1000 employees
2 SharePoint developers/administrators Scott Jones and Kevin.
Implementation help from TCSC
2010 implementation, fleshing out a 2013 farm now
Implementation details: Limited MySite usage
Use managed metadata and central template hub extensively
Vigilant about not installing 3rd party web parts and plugins to the servers
Content is user managed, structure is typically managed by the 2 of us with Marketing’s guidance.
All sites are ‘publishing sites’
Case 1: Audiencing News
Goal: Provide targeted news and content for our users. Our org follows a hierarchy and the content and delivery options should reflect that.
Solution: A combination of managed metadata structuring, content types, CQWPs, modified XSL stylesheets and audiencing.
Offices have a page with news, that rolls up to their ‘market’
Mapping Term Sets to Site Columns
Default a list’s mapping so user does not have to fool with it
Filter CQWPs based on metadata, audience those parts
Case 2: Safely Enhance UI, Load Pages Faster

Foobar – Firm notifications Publishing Site News Rotator –
Dynamic from Pages Calendar Viewer – One click add
