ASU Analytics SharePoint UI Customization

Presentation Summary

Venkatesh Mandalapa, Arizona State University

ASU has many third party tools and applications that provide services to our students, staff and faculty - all 100,000 of them. We strive to provide a seamless and rich user experience among all these tools by implementing our ASU standards and design philosophy where possible. While SharePoint 2013 out of the box looks far better than the previous SharePoint versions, it still leaves much to be desired when it comes to integrating with your own institution. Thankfully SharePoint 2013 provides an easy way to create custom themes. This presentation is about how we branded our SharePoint environment to meet ASU design standards and principles to provide a consistent user experience for ASU Business Intelligence users. We will talk about the technologies behind it, tools used, processes involved with packaging and reusing solutions, and the skills necessary to make this work in your institution.
