Ingersoll-Rand had acquired Trane and needed to integrate and reorganize their corporate presence onto a common Sharepoint platform.

Challenges

CGS was charged with migrating exisiting content pages on the Queens College (QC) website to a Sharepoint platform. QC had already begun identifying the pages in the legacy site (See Excel spreadsheet at right). We needed to :

• Map legacy content
• Identify common content "types" across pages
• Reconcile inconsistent display formats across silos of information
• Provide a consistent navigational structure for multiple subsites

Solutions

TCS identified common content "Webparts" across all pages. These were captured in the Content Inventory spreadsheet.

TCS formalized the webpart structure into a set of Sharepoint templates (See page template image at right, as well as table) that reflected both the presentatin and the maintenance of the existing content.

Content Inventory, Wireframes, Information Architecture, Sitemap, Personas (Profiles)

This was a typical UxP engagement for a Sharepoint migration: Perform Content Inventory, identify the the Information Architecture and design Wireframes based on the Webparts. Guide an offshore development team.
