SPRaaS PLA Toolset

SPRaaS Service

About SPRaaS Service

Most popular service from Premier

Where it began SharePoint Health Check SharePoint Risk & Health Assessment Program

(RAP) RAP as a Service (RaaS) Available for 19 technologies/cluster !

SPRaaS

SPRaaS – The IdeaPhase 1:

Risk Assessment & Knowledge

Transfer

Identify issues and risks for a given

technology leveraging a suite of

tools and MS best practices

Phase 2:

Remediation Planning

Create a remediation plan to address identified improvement points and

risks that have been aligned to customer

specific business impact

Phase 4: Desired State Verification

Reassess to verify the desired state after

remediation.

Phase 3: Remediation

ExecutionRemediate issues and

mitigate risks identified in the

remediation plan.(by Customer, Partner

or Premier)

SPRaaS – Results

Overall Health Result

• Primarily relates to the current state of the environment. Are key components and services functioning the way they should, systems online and responsive, and so on.

• Typical health issues equate to active problems.

Overall Risk Result

• Primarily relates to the potential future state of the environment. Are there processes, documentation and systems in place that would help mitigate future problems in the environment. This can include change control, monitoring, SLAs, training, and so on.

• Typical risk issues equate to increased chances of new or worsening problems in the future.

The overall results of the assessment are split into two main parts – Health and Risk. This is done to provide a more accurate view of the overall environment.
