Microsoft Office Interactive Developer Map

If you're an Office (OBA, SharePoint 2007, PerformancePoint 2007, Unified Communications, Groove, Project Server, Visio, etc etc) Developer , you're going to love this application. It's very useful, especially to people that are still grasping how the full Office offering from Microsoft works (Enterprise Content Management, Business Intelligence, etc etc) and also, it's also quite funky to use. Here's the link: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/office/bb497969.aspx "The Microsoft...

DoD 5015.2 Resource Kit for SharePoint Server 2007 is finally here!!!!!!!!!!

Earlier, in December last year, for the last time I extended my concerns about the late arrival of the DoD 5015.2 Add-on Pack for SharePoint 2007 Records Management in my post on this blog ( http://dotnet.org.za/zlatan/archive/2007/12/23/what-happened-to-the-dod-5015-2-add-on-pack-for-sharepoint-2007-records-management.aspx ). This was followed by many questions from the community and respective clients. J.P. Horne of Microsoft kept me in the mean time updated about the progress with the Add On pack...

What happened to the DoD 5015.2 Add-on Pack for SharePoint 2007 Records Management

Still no news of the DoD Add-On pack for SharePoint 2007 Records Management, although it was promised that it will be released before the end of this year ( http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepoint/archive/2007/05/30/dod-5015-2-certification-for-moss-2007-we-ve-passed-the-test.aspx ). Here we are, it's Christmas and still nothing, I must say I'm really really disappointed in Microsoft , I was hoping that I will do a follow up on my Records Management series and blog about all the new cool features...

SharePoint for Intranet

This is the second of my lectures which I held at the UCS conference with which, I must admit, I've had tons of fun (well I usually have a lot of fun doing lectures anyway). I've touched on all concepts of Enterprise Content Management as they pertain to building intranet solutions with SharePoint Server 2007. The core of it all being the Taxonomy, Standardisation, Enterprise Search Strategy, Provisioning, extensive concepts of Collaboration and Social Networking, and let's not forget...

Provisioning engines for SharePoint 2007

Since I've dealt with the implementation of my first ever Enterprise Content Management there has been a need for provisioning engines. In dealing with complex ECM systems with elaborate and complicated taxonomies with much room for error, people usually look to automate these processes where common logic and patterns can be found. Initial deployment of an ECM solution is usually basic, and it either affects a small unit in a big way (answers all ECM needs of that organisational unit) or big...

Doing Records Management in SharePoint 2007 Part 2 (Creating a Records Repository and Configuring the Retention Schedules)

Continuing from my last post, this where we venture into the world cool yet strict world of Records Management in SharePoint 2007. The following describes common steps that you would need to take to set up the Records Repository. Remember, we’re using typical SA government example for setting up the File Plan, hence why it would differ in some ways from Virtual Lab example on doing Records Management from Microsoft (MSDN Virtual Lab http://msevents.microsoft.com/CUI/WebCastEventDetails.aspx?EventID...

Doing Records Management in SharePoint 2007 Part 1 (Intro)

This is a three part post that will show how to deploy and configure Records Management Solutions in SharePoint 2007. Records Management can be tricky business. Most businesses and corporates do it (manually) but they don't call it that way and it takes a while for them to make a connection when you try to explain what Records Management as part of their elaborative Enterprise Content Management suite actually is, and even if they make a connection, the mere notion of making this process electronic...

Enterprise Content Management and Records Management Education

There is so many examples even today of badly implemented Records Management solutions. This, besides being professionally embarrassing in the industry, also discourages many clients from going ahead with any Enterprise Content Management and Records Management solution in any near future, creating fewer opportunities for all of us in the industry as well as keeping South African growth and maturity in Enterprise Content Management and Records Management behind the rest of the world. Because of such...

14 th of May came and went and no news as yet.

Enterprise Content Management and all that is part of it (namely: Document Management, Records Management and Archiving, Business Intelligence etc.) is really a union of quite simple concepts which are still slowly revolutionizing every bit of today's business and society in all parts of this world.

What is Enterprise Content Management?

It's not enough to "manage" content. Enterprise Content Management (ECM) is the technologies used to capture, manage, store, preserve, and deliver content and documents related to organizational processes. ECM tools and strategies allow the management of an organization's unstructured information, wherever that information exists. Content at Work It's not enough to "manage" content. Of course, the ability to access the correct version of a document or record is important...

MOSS 2007 Records Management DoD Certification

Some of you, who’s main obstruction to deploying MOSS 2007 Records Management solutions (especially to the Government) was lack of required certifications (not mentioning the maturity of the product) especially the big DoD certification, might remember early announcement that Microsoft is slotted to take the DoD 5015.2 certification test on May 14, 2007 . Well its seven days and counting now. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not really against using third party products to complement SharePoint solutions...
