Page 21: Records Management & Compliance Solutionsdownload.microsoft.com/documents/australia/sharepoint_forum_2008… · 05/02/2008 · Records Management & Compliance Solutions ... document

SharePoint and High-end RM

• Australian Standards / Methodologies– VERS

– AS 4390 (ISO 15489)

– DIRKS

– Federal, State & Local Govt. regulations– Federal, State & Local Govt. regulations

• MOSS 2007 off-the-shelf features do not

meet these requirements

• Microsoft partners fill the gap

Three Implementation Approaches

Commercial-off-the-shelf ISV software add-on to

Model 1: COTS Side by SideWhat SharePoint used as Collaboration & DM platform.

Official Records are sent/published to 3rd-party Records

Repository.

Why • Proven / mature RM platform

• Existing license / deployment investment

• Emphasis on Physical Records Management

Why Not • License Costs – 3rd party application, integration software

• Multiple Security Models

• Usability – multiple user interfaces• Usability – multiple user interfaces

• Usability – users confused as to when to ‘send to Records’

• Usability – Office applications have competing ‘Save’ behaviour

• IT – Multiple platforms to maintain

Great

Example

• Tower Software TRIM TCSI - City of Greater Shepparton

• EMC Documentum

COTS = Commercial Off The Shelf

Model 2: Custom on Top

What SharePoint used as total ECM platform – Collab, DM & RM.

Custom code developed to meet your requirements that are

not met by SharePoint baseline features.

Why • Meets specific customer requirements –

no functional compromises

• Lower license costs

• Usability – single user experience

• IT - Single platform• IT - Single platform

Why Not • Cost of custom development

• Custom solution may be costly to maintain

Great

Example

• OBS – SA Water

• Productiv – Queensland DTRDI

COTS = Commercial Off The Shelf

Model 3: COTS on TopWhat SharePoint used as total ECM platform – Collab, DM & RM.

ISV COTS solution is an add-on to the SharePoint platform.

Why • Meets broad industry requirements

• Lower license costs compared to Model #1

• Usability – single user experience

• IT - Single platform

Why Not • Relatively new offering – conservative customers see as risk

• Maturing feature set• Maturing feature set

Great

Example

• Unique World RecordPoint - Austrade

COTS = Commercial Off The Shelf

• Usability

• Traditional RM software - ‘User unfriendly’ - Has its own custom User Interface

• Business Process

• Business processes encumbered by RM solution

• RM Processes didn’t adopt to the new electronic era

• Unfamiliar Terminology/Language

Why have RM solutions failed ?

• Unfamiliar Terminology/Language

• Technology Platform

• Another technology platform/silo

• User Buy-in

• RM not perceived by users to be core to their role

• No WIIFM for end user

What Federal Government is saying ...

“Official records should be created as close as possible to the

event, action or decision they relate to. Equally, the more

important the matter, the more comprehensive the record should

be.”

“Lifting the burden of recordkeeping for general APS employees -

good systems designs that introduce common, simple and good systems designs that introduce common, simple and

automated processes for creating and managing records - will

result in higher quality recordkeeping.”

�Technology Platform

• Leverages industry leading Microsoft SharePoint platform

�User Buy-in

• Makes RM consideration easy for the user
