Real world records management in share point 2013
This document summarizes a presentation about using SharePoint for enterprise content management (ECM) and records management (RM). It discusses why organizations use SharePoint for these purposes due to its cost advantages over competitors and integration with other Microsoft products. It outlines SharePoint's ECM and ERM features such as managed metadata, retention policies, and eDiscovery capabilities. It also notes some technical limitations of SharePoint and challenges of using it for robust records management needs. The presenter provides examples of addressing these challenges and third-party options that enhance SharePoint's ERM features.

- 8. “But other ECMproviders offer everything in one package” This is not accurate. Here’s why: • Most vendors offering a “complete solution” built it by acquiring makers of enhancements to their product. Often these acquisitions haven’t been fully absorbed— with separate code bases, revision cycles and support organizations. • In most cases, additional functionality such as ERM features are priced in addition to the core product. • All the vendors provide SharePoint add-ins—so if you are using SharePoint at all for documents, you can’t avoid integration.
- 9. SharePoint’s integration advantage •Best built-in integration with the rest of the Microsoft product line. –Office (Word/Excel/PowerPoint) –Outlook –Microsoft Exchange –Microsoft CRM –SQL Reporting Services/Analysis Services • SharePoint is so ubiquitous that most other enterprise server applications support integration with it.

- 27. Challenges and Pitfallsof using SharePoint for ECM/ERM • SharePoint technical limits • ERM-specific limitations
- 28. SharePoint 2013 TechnicalLimits: The List View Threshold List Views and Folders Limited to 5000 items • Issue Details: – Biggest issue from RM perspective: misleading/missing results – Not corrected by paging the results. – Affects most list views—even if the columns are indexed. • How to address it: – Use the Metadata Navigation feature. – Train users to understand the issue. – Develop Search-based approaches.
- 29. SharePoint 2013 TechnicalLimits File Size Limit Cannot upload files larger than 2GB • Issue Details: – Primarily a SQL limitation – No web-based system could handle this size without a lot of tweaking. – Note: Remote Blob Storage doesn’t fix this. • How to address it: – Compress files. – Store larger files elsewhere with links. – Realize how rare a file larger than 2GB really is.
- 30. Records management limitations •No intuitive file plan builder • No built-in event-driven disposition • Lacking built-in physical records management features • Not DOD 5015.02 ERM certified.
- 31. SharePoint-native approach to overcomefile plan limitations • Create a complex file plan by customizing the content organizer feature. 1. Design a file plan and represent it in SharePoint with Records Centers, content types, and content organizer rules that create folders based on metadata. (“Out of the Box” functionality) • Business-based content types may not match your archival requirements 2. Create additional rules within these content types by adding a “Record Type” column and creating separate rules for each. 3. Add event receivers to: • Define additional metadata automatically in the records center folders (Location-Based Metadata). • Define folder-level information management policies

- 34. Why do recordsmanagement projects fail? • Lack of alignment with business goals and business model … make it “frictionless” • Failure to integrate with business processes and IT systems • Failure to answer the user’s question: “What’s in it for me?”
- 35. The solution • Makeyour System of Record a System of Engagement –Don’t create a records silo; integrate it with day to day processes. –Define document types that make sense for users, not just records managers. “It is simply not realistic to expect broad sets of employees to navigate extensive classification options while referring to a records schedule that may weigh in at more than 100 pages.” Forrester Research/ARMA International Survey

Editor's Notes
- #6 Covered Content – Content is responsive to discovery requests
- #10 Bullet 2 – focus on 3rd Party products, such as SAP APIs, etc.
- #14 Users prevented from working on a held document Holds limited to SharePoint content Configured by site collection Based on content type (document type) only
- #15 Entity Extractions: provide Dictionary for a category (e.g. City) (provide a dictionary w/city names and abbreviations it will find its place entry in search index))
- #16 Content Organizer – typically called a “File Plan”
- #18 In SP this is called an “Information Management Policy” Focus on having policies for non-records and records and multi-stage disposition (i.e. recycle after 3; review after 2)
- #19 Security Driven / Permission
- #20 Content Type Syndication required to help ensure the content type used for the file plan is available in both source and destination locations
- #24 *For export only (cannot hold it or otherwise enforce any policies … findable if indexed)
- #25 How does SP help make eDiscovery easier and less expense: The next 2 slides will demonstrate the improvements
- #26 Export format “EDRMS” - Electronic Discovery Reference Model
- #27 Point 1: Real World isn’t perfect Point 2: You may want to consider working with someone who has some experience
- #29 Why the LVT can create misleading results: if the threshold is exceeded, SharePoint automatically trims the results to show the most recent 5000 items by Created date. But if you are sorting by Modified date descending for example, recently modified items that were created before the most recent 5000 will not appear.
- #30 Remote Blob Storage doesn’t fix this: If you’ve heard of RBS, which is the feature of SharePoint that allows large files to be externalized from the SQL content database, you may have heard or thought that this would address either the LVT or the 2GB limit. Neither is true. Realize how rare a 2GB file is: Generally, this will either be compressed file image like an ISO, or it will be a database of some kind. Lesson: Don’t store a database inside another database
- #32 Record Types are available in other Records Management Systems By creating a “Record Type” column that aligns with archival and other RM policies we can meet Organizational Record Management Rules – this would be likely across various content types on a completely different criteria and could potentially be defaulted based on library or site, etc.
