8. Setting the Scene The department was an early adopter of the Queensland Government's selected eDRMS package, Hummingbird After significant customisation and testing it was determined that the implementation of Hummingbird as the agency's eDRMS solution was not viable Implementation challenges with Hummingbird were also experienced by other Queensland Government department's during this time 2008 Productiv

9. Michael Keates The department's existing physical records management system, Concord, had been in use for the past decade and no longer has vendor support and is technically unstable. With the delay in implementing an eDRMS package which was to replace Concord, the department required an alternate solution to support physical records management. 2008 Productiv

10. The Proof of Concept The PoC commenced in October 2007 with the aim of identifying the capabilities of SharePoint Server 2007 to meet the requirement for a physical record keeping system Utilising Productivs domain skills in this area and strong development capabilities to ensure we had an outcome whereby strategic decisions could be made Following the POC the department completed a independent analysis against the Public Records Act 2002 and the Queensland recordkeeping information standard (IS40) The analysis allowed Productiv and DTRDI to further enhance the requirements of the Production solution to address the identified gaps The results of this gap analysis confirmed the viability of using SharePoint 2007 as a platform for a production RM system 2008 Productiv

11. Getting to Production In February 2008, Productiv was engaged to build a replacement RM solution, using SharePoint Server 2007, to replace Concord Detailed specification stage that involved a wide variety of stakeholder input to ensure a high degree of user input acceptance Configuration capabilities were demonstrated in the seamless integration of a the new Metadata standard released by QSA Migration capabilities built in the design and architecture of the solution System Go Live date set for August 2008 2008 Productiv

12. Benefits to the DTRDI The solution immediately addresses the Concord replacement and support issues Through the re-use of application components created on standardised technology, total cost of ownership will be significantly less than solutions available on the current QLD Government Panel arrangement SharePoint Server 2007 is gaining momentum as an internationally accepted eDRMS with the potential for it to be a market leader in the near future, which aligns well with the current development of document and records management solutions in the Department using SharePoint Server 2007 Usability is a key focus area for DTRDI in the implementation of their information management strategy. It is critical to support staff in their day to day activities, to meet compliance requirements while minimising the administrative overhead for them wherever possible 2008 Productiv
