This document discusses SharePoint and Invu software products and how they can work together. It describes SharePoint as a platform for collaboration and building portals that integrate with business systems. Invu is positioned as a document management suite that can take control of business information and work with SharePoint for collaboration, search, and publishing while providing backend workflow and content management capabilities. The document outlines how Invu and SharePoint can be used together for capturing records, pulling documents into secure storage, and updating metadata to share documents on SharePoint portals.

Editor's Notes
- #4: Key Notes:SharePoint today is a PLATFORM for collaboration. It is focussed on the wider set of people who are NOT users of discrete systems“Shared Diaries / Wiki/ blogs / Folders”Dashboard views on functional systems – accounting, CRM, Manuf. – whateverGreat for occasional sharing of specific views on systems out to a wider audienceSharePoint does have some rudimentary DM featuresCheck in - check outVersionsMetadata (one type per library)However – SharePoint is NOT a focused business application or DMSSlow (esp. for docs)No support for scanning/imagesPoor search experience SharePoint is currently used as a “user interface” layer on business systems and data. All systems have aspects that are intended for a wide and collaborating audience and other aspects that are for a specific teamE.g Payroll – done by finance team, but payslips and records may be viewable by all employees Payroll application creates that payslip (TRANSACTIONAL SYSTEM) documents are captured into a DMS (CONTENT/RECORD SYSTEM) employees log in to their corporate portal and can see their payslips (PORTAL)
- #5: A schematic view of a business using sharepoint: SP is UI layer for “portal users” – dashboard and occasional use (untrained) how do I find.... What is status on... Who is involved in... Underlying systems still very much alive: expert systems trained users high productivity Interestingly a DM solution underpins many or all of those systems with: auto-capture Scanning support archive publishing (e.g. To SharePoint)
- #6: Document Management is not just about storing documents!!!What SP does not provide is:Scanning/extractionOCR/BarcodeIntraysRetentionEffecient client (c.f. outlook or webmail for serious work – you choose!) - a real solution for the real world.
- #7: Invu works with SharePoint in a “back-office” - “front office” partnership Productivity staff work with Invu to efficiently and with compliance store and retrieve information office scanning Process and Management staff use workflow to drive processes Routing Approval Data entry Wider audience interacts via portals on SharePoint Submission of forms or documents (e.g. Expense claim) View published documents Blogs/forums/wiki interactions
- #8: Over 80% of Business information is unstructured3 broad categories: Communications and ad-hoc (email etc) Project / Work items (sharepoint – wide reach, lower security – collab focus) Business records: contracts/invoices/employee records etc. – serious business information with compliance or continuity aspect
- #9: SharePoint is for loose and wide collaboration Invu is for your business records and retention
- #10: Simple animated story of an expense claimUser uploads and XLS to SP portalDoc is pulled into Invu and...WF is triggered (routed on size of claim to FD)FD approves expense claimResulting claim metadata is uploaded back to SP (employee) portalEmployee can see all expense claims
