Unique guide to records management methodologies for Microsoft
Office SharePoint Server 2007
There may be books available on how to develop solutions for
Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, but this is the first book
to provide step-by-step guidance for designing and building records
management solutions on the SharePoint platform. You'll learn the
five core services of any records management
system-confidentiality, information integrity, high availability,
adherence to policy, and audit ability-then explore the tools and
techniques needed to implement them in SharePoint.
The book helps you understand official records in the context of
day-to-day collaboration and regulatory compliance; you'll also
learn how to design extensible Windows Workflow Foundation (WF)
components with records management as the central focus.
- Reviews Office SharePoint Server and how it provides a solid
foundation for managing official records using specially
constructed web sites and custom components
- Discusses the "File Plan", which describes where each record is
stored, how long it is kept, and the manner and conditions under
which it is destroyed
- Shows you how to apply the powerful features of the SharePoint
platform to convert collaborative documents into managed files in a
record center site
- Addresses best practices for creating records repositories,
developing file plans to identify official records, controlling the
creation and distribution of records using custom content types and
information policy components, and more
- The companion Web site includes downloadable code modules you
can use as a starting point for building real-world records
management solutions on the SharePoint platform
