18. A Collaborative Effort

19. LifeSource – Document Control Case Study Organ Donation Services Non-Profit Located in St. Paul www.life-source.org

20. LifeSource – Document Control Challenge Process is required for creating and managing key documents in the organization Process needs to route to appropriate individuals Different types of documents need different approval groups Collaboration is required during document cycle Evidence of approval is required Auditing of who approved what documents and when Provide central repository for approved documents

21. LifeSource – Document Control Approach Leverage WSS as core infrastructure for the solution Utilize WSS for document collaboration during process Utilize WSS site for central repository of all approved documents Utilize InfoPath as primary vehicle for capture of information during the process Utilize K2.NET as the workflow tool to automate the process Leverage existing Active Directory (AD) and Exchange environments

22. Starting the process User fills out InfoPath form Form utilizes AD web service Form captures key information about type of document Lists documents from central WSS repository document library Submission starts the workflow

23. The Workflow Designed in K2.NET Utilizes WSS, InfoPath and.NET Branches to support different types of user action (create, revise, obsolete, review)

24. Document Collaboration After form submission, the workflow creates a WSS site specifically for the document Emails team to invite them to site Sets permissions on site for users Utilizes K2 task list web part to display workflow tasks for users on the site

25. Routing for Approval After collaboration is complete, process resumes to capture approval InfoPath form is provided for two levels of approval, QRAD, leadership team K2 workflow determines who to send emails to based on membership in groups

26. Central Document Repository Once a document is approved, the workflow pushes it out to the central document library Metadata is set based on what is captured via the form during the process Process is complete

27. Auditing / Reporting Custom report to provide visibility into who did what on each document Leverages data in K2.NET database of workflow history Addresses auditing needs
