Where's the beef?

  • Artigo

We've been talking very high level for a bit and I'm afraid that you guys might be asking at this point: are they all talk? J Well, guess what? We have some great features too. I think it would be fun to switch gears for a little while and talk about some real features that will ship in the 2007 Microsoft Office System that we believe will make everyone's life easier -- particularly end-users AND records managers. We still have plenty of business problems and high-level guidance, but we thought a switch to some features might be a nice change of pace.

    Yes, please do spill the beans on this oh so intriguing development of Microsoft's.

    How will the Records Management functionality tie in with your collaboration with OpenText and SAP, for example?  

    Do you have a tentative 'deadline' for release?

    Infopath forms - how will completed forms generated from Infopath be captured into the records management system? Will they be stand alone files that are a snapshot of that form as it was completed? This would be needed to meet retention program requirements?

    Good plan. Details on email archiving as part of records management with exchange/sharepoint 2007 please - hopefully this will save me from buying a 3rd party email archiving product!
    Cheers, John

    @Adam Pope:

    The latest information about schedule for the 2007 release can be found @ http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/default.mspx .

    Hope this helps,

    @BKK:

    You raise an important point -- for forms scenarios using Microsoft Office InfoPath (and Forms Server) 2007, capturing a "snapshot" of the filled-out form as the user saw it  (rather than just the completed form data) is a critical requirement for record retention.

    The short answer is that we've got the functionality to do exactly that in the 2007 release of the Microsoft Office system -- and we'll be discussing it in more detail in a subsequent post. So please stay tuned!

    Aggie, go to http://www.opentext.com/news/pr.html?id=1681 to see the announcement of OpenText's partnership with Microsoft to build ECM solutions on top of the 2007 Office system, in particular, Office SharePoint Server.

    Microsoft and SAP have been strategic partners for many years now -- see http://www.microsoft-sap.com. With respect to the Office system and SharePoint Server, the recently announced Duet (http://www.duet.com) will enable very rich and seamless integration with SAP.

    Alistair makes an interesting point, particularly in relation to the previous comment on the capture of InfoPath forms within the context of a transaction.  In the same way we are very keen to see the relationship between this initiative and WFF.

    Like John Brook I am also interested in the relationship between email-archiving and ECM in the Microsoft model.  certainly vendors such as EMC and Open Text have been pushing this relationship and making significant investments around it in recent years.

    Thanks for the deadline document, and your responsiveness.

    We've found particular problems with documents that contain dynamic links.

    For example, one spreadsheet contains inflation data.  Thousands of current spreadsheet records (goping back many decades) rely on this data which is always changing.  Will the MS RM system allow such changes?

    If you have an 'archive' that maintains the integrity of electronic documents, how will you cope with documents that change themselves?  Will we be given the option to allow them to change?
