NetDexterity’s business driven approach to EIM delivers a highly usable framework to meet the needs of the entire organization.    For Information Managers we deliver a compliant framework that delivers on the desired outcomes of EIM.  For Information Technology organizations we deliver universally supportable solutions that are delivered to meet security and accessibility requirements.  For organizational users we deliver highly usable solutions delivered to support them in delivering on their business priorities while delivering on the promise of Information Management in a meaningful way.

Typically organizations approach Information Management from a Records Centric approach – that is they decide where content needs to reside and for how long – then they create a plan that users are required to follow.  These plans typically do not include structured information – which would be managed by the system that it resides in.

Records Management implementations fail over 50% of the time, costing organizations millions of dollars.  User adoption is the primary challenge in the success of Information Management initiatives.

Collaboration and Portal solutions require Information Governance to keep pace with the Organization.  Delivering a Collaboration initiative with a strong EIM structure will strengthen the value of the initiative for Users, IT, and Information Management professionals.

The EIM Framework addresses these key challenges in successfully harnessing Enterprise Information in an accessible and usable way and maintaining organizational memory.

Typical information management challenges addressed by the EIM Framework include:

• Creation of relevant workspaces for individuals and teams, that improve the way that they work currently
• Automation of records management activities, by mapping the Business Taxonomy with the Records Plan
• Management of email, in the context of workspaces to provide for both strengthened collaboration and information management.
• Integration with other systems where it brings value to the quality of information
• Integration with Records Management providers in a manner that supports the Priorities, Technology Constraints, and Information Management needs of the Organization

What is the Enterprise Information Management Framework for Microsoft SharePoint?

NetDexterity’s EIM Framework leverages Microsoft SharePoint, Office and other technologies to deliver ECM to the organization with an approach that meets the needs and priorities of the users, while delivering the compliance and accessibility that the Enterprise requires.

Core to our approach is a belief that successful Records Management is driven by Business Process Management.  In delivering ECM we map the priorities of the business to the file plan – leveraging the strengths of the platform to create value for the user community while delivering on EIM priorities to create value for the organization as a whole.  This governance framework is foundational to all of the work that we deliver to our clients.

The EIM Framework is based on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007 and K2 blackpearl, a configurable workflow platform for Microsoft .NET, and integration with key organizational systems

The framework recognizes that there is a universal requirement for information governance in all SharePoint implementations.

Engagements include:

• Document and Records Management Planning
• Business Process Mapping
• Business Process Enablement
• Information Management Compliant SharePoint sites
• Outlook Integration with SharePoint
