Editor's Notes
inSite is our new information portal for all people working at Omnicell. It is the vehicle we will use to communicate information across the company. Today we primarily use email to communicate globally, across departments and teams. With inSite, we have the tools to post and manage communication, and to personalize email notification when information changes or is newly available. inSite is also a document repository. Presentations, brochures, manuals, technical reference documents, whitepapers, forms, policies, process flows and many other types of documents are available in inSite. These documents are presented to you in many web sites and pages. They are available in document libraries and are all searchable through inSite’s powerful search feature.In inSite you can easily find the content you are looking for, just as you do in Google. Also, we have an extensive people search capability which displays people’s location and phone information, along with an organization tree for each employee. We at Omnicell use many systems and web sites to access internal information and to manage our personal data, such as our benefits. inSite provides an easy way to locate these resources and access them directly. inSite is primarily a collaboration environment. In it you can share with your teams not only documents but issues, tasks, discussions, and blogs.inSite is based on the powerful new version of Microsoft’s SharePoint 2007. This is the platform we will be using to build new capabilities for our entire KM strategy.
The main action all of us can take is to provide feedback. There is a feedback link at the bottom of each page on inSite. Click on this link and enter your feedback. Also, there is a feedback action connected to each document published on inSite. This feedback will enable departments publishing content to improve it.Another key action all of us can take is to send a link to the documents and other content in inSite rather than send them via email. This will ensure all of us are using the same documents and their latest published version.Individuals publishing content should follow the guidelines for annotating and classifying our documents. This is called the Omnicell taxonomy. It is through this taxonomy that we can display and find documents using search. Authors are requested to update their documents directly on inSite with their latest version.Finally, Site Owners, those volunteers and recruited individuals who are managing the department sites, should participate in the KM community to continue to learn about inSite and SharePoint capabilities in order to help establish our standards for Intranet communication, document management and electronic collaboration.
inSite will deliver new capabilities over the next year. The possibilities are many. As we deliver new features, we will provide training so that each organization and individual can become as self sufficient as possible.We will form a Site Owner’s community where we will further their knowledge and advance best practices for the use of inSite. Each department has an identified Site Owner who will be participating in this community.Upcoming capabilities for inSite include:Electronic forms where we enter data directly on-line.Publish Excel content and reports in a secure manner eliminating the need to email and find the latest information. We will build automated workflows for approvals of documents and requests, such as the New Feature Request and the NPI process.We will build a customer portal, similar to inSite for our customers to access documentation, their data and their projects. Later in 2009, we will also be able to start integrating SAP content directly into inSite for those of you that do not need to be SAP users but need information from that system. And since we have a large mobile workforce, we will provide access to inSite via mobile devices, such as Blackberries and Treos.
