“Strong consideration and support for SharePoint Server 2007 as the front end to all
our major business applications which are developed under our own .Net framework”

Providing the market with real facts
• Much was anticipated and expected by the market with respect to the DM & RM functionality of Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2007
• Productiv were requested by many organization to provide some indication of where these features met or did not meet their compliance requirements
• Utilising the NAA Functional Specifications for ERM systems software a functional analysis was conducted:
– Using out of box features of Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2007– Mapped against functional specification

Functional Analysis Results – Out of Box

Setting the Scene
• The department was an early adopter of the Queensland Government's selected eDRMS package, Hummingbird
• After significant customisation and testing it was determined that the implementation of Hummingbird as the agency's eDRMS solution was not viable
• Implementation challenges with Hummingbird were also experienced by other Queensland Government department's during this time

Michael Keates
“The department's existing physical records management system, Concord, had been in use for the past decade and no longer has vendor support and is technically unstable. With the delay in implementing an eDRMS package which was to replace Concord, the department required an alternate solution to support physical records management.”
2008 Productiv
The Proof of Concept
• The PoC commenced in October 2007 with the aim of identifying the capabilities of SharePoint Server 2007 to meet the requirement for a physical record keeping system
• Utilising Productiv’s domain skills in this area and strong development capabilities to ensure we had an outcome whereby strategic decisions could be made
• Following the POC the department completed a independent analysis against the Public Records Act 2002 and the Queensland recordkeeping information standard (IS40)
• The analysis allowed Productiv and DTRDI to further enhance the requirements of the Production solution to address the identified gaps
• The results of this gap analysis confirmed the viability of using SharePoint 2007 as a platform for a production RM system
2008 Productiv
Getting to Production
• In February 2008, Productiv was engaged to build a replacement RM solution, using SharePoint Server 2007, to replace Concord
• Detailed specification stage that involved a wide variety of stakeholder input to ensure a high degree of user input acceptance
• Configuration capabilities were demonstrated in the seamless integration of a the new Metadata standard released by QSA
• Migration capabilities built in the design and architecture of the solution
• System Go Live date set for August 2008

Benefits to the DTRDI
• The solution immediately addresses the Concord replacement and support issues
• Through the re-use of application components created on standardised technology, total cost of ownership will be significantly less than solutions available on the current QLD Government Panel arrangement
• SharePoint Server 2007 is gaining momentum as an internationally accepted eDRMS with the potential for it to be a market leader in the near future, which aligns well with the current development of document and records management solutions in the Department using SharePoint Server 2007
• Usability is a key focus area for DTRDI in the implementation of their information management strategy. It is critical to support staff in their day to day activities, to meet compliance requirements while minimising the administrative overhead for them wherever possible
