The introduction of initiatives to simply the way that business is done can often cause a lot of disruption during the change before any benefits are seen. And, trying to keep a service functioning during the change adds another level of difficulty. In this two part series, Nic Price describes what happened at the BBC when Gateway, their intranet, was moved to SharePoint.

What's Inside:

Gateway, the BBC’s intranet, had grown organically since it started life under a desk in 1996. The central Gateway team was formed, which embarked on helping to provide training, templates and a forum for discussing the development and management of Gateway. In 2005 the Simple Business Initiative was set up to simplify what it was like to get things done at the ‘business end’ of the BBC. Gateway, our intranet, had been identified as a key linchpin for the success of the initiative. Our task was to move SharePoint in as a core part of the platform which supported Gateway, without causing havoc and confusion in the process.
