All
This topic keeps raising its head. Sharepoint is a direct replacement for
Lotus Notes, an office system. Microsoft accept that it was not intended to
be records management engine. Nearly all the best EDRMS vendors have
Sharepoint integration. My own favourite is Opentext
http://www.opentext.com/2/sol-products/sol-pro-extensions-microsoft/pro-ll-ms-sharepoint-integration-ms.htm
Things you should also consider:
1) Do I use a CRM package SAP, Siebal, Oracle etc
2) Do I already have a system for Revenues and Benefits, Planning etc
3) Is this a records management initiative or a corporate Information
Management change programme.
4) What role will workflow play?

Subject: Sharepoint 2007
I know towards the end of last year there was discussion on the list about
the potential of Sharepoint 2007 to offer records management functionality.
Since then I've been to several events that have led me to conclude that
while it may not offer full EDRM functionality, - it may be a starting
point that can get us some way there, ( and the gaps we will have to
address as and when necessary).
I'm now looking at how we can customise Sharepoint to fit our needs more
appropriately than the 'out of the box' templates that Microsoft offer,
(e.g. the records centre).
I wondered whether there were any other organisations looking at this to
see what options they maybe considering.
At the moment I'm still trying to get to grasps with how to best
use, 'content types,'(as non-hierarchical folders?) as these seem like the
key to how metadata is attributed/information management policies and
workflow applied.
Any feedback on or off-list would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Caroline Ives
