• Legal

• Business Users

• Records Management

• Security

• Information Technology

15

Accountability

On Premise SharePoint or O365 SharePoint?

capmetro.org | Optional secondary text17

On Premise SharePoint Office 365 SharePoint

Pros:• control your data• control your own information 

governance• implementation of 3rd party tools 

is easier 

Pros:• reduced maintenance costs• guaranteed system availability• new SharePoint features are rolled 

out• easy external sharing

Cons: • need dedicated resources, people 

and hardware to maintain servers • downtime maintaining servers, 

security updates, and patching• costs for hardware and licenses

Cons:• little control over updates• limited customization• no server access• possible platform integration issues

Accountability

Accountability

• You want to determine your policies regarding:

• Users don’t always call when they experience issues.

• Sometimes hearing someone else's issue will spark discussion.

– The key is to follow‐up and address the issues raised.

Compliance

• Develop ways to track the information/records coming into the system

• This tracking information can provide metrics.

– Documents created during a given time period

– Time it takes to finalize a document

– Types of documents being created

39

Compliance

• SharePoint Lists can be exported to Excel

– You can use Excel to:

• Analyze

• Compare

• Match

• Easy way to leverage the tool

40

Page 21: Today’s Agenda...Establishing Information Governance for Local Governments in Microsoft SharePoint Alexander Webb, CRM, IGP Records Management Officer Capital Metropolitan Transportation

11/16/2017

21

Compliance

• Provide regular system reports which:

– Measure the success of the implementation.

– Justify the system to your organization.

• This is critical during the first few years after implementation.

41

Availability

• Searching in SharePoint is like searching a web.

• Without consistency it can turn into a mess.

• Improve findability by…

– Using Standard Naming Conventions

– Using Standard Metadata

– Run OCR on PDFs

42

Availability

Metadata and File Naming Conventions

• Metadata is used to filter and search information that is of interest

• Using consistent file names will aid in retrieving documents

43

Availability

Consistency is Key!

• Start the file name with the broadest descriptor and make descriptors more specific as you add segments

• Name records in a consistent way to make retrieving files easier

• Use dashes without spaces between segments

44

Retention

• Getting Started with Retention in SharePoint

– Review your Authorities/Requirements

• Local

• State

• Federal

– Use Record Lifecycle to evaluate Business Workflows

Retention

Retention in SharePoint 

• In‐Place Retention or Records Center Retention?

• Best practice is to choose one or the other policy based upon enterprise business requirements.

51

Retention

• In‐Place Retention Benefits

– Records remain where they were created

– Best suited for heavy usage of document after declared a record (view only)

– Easier to maintain document’s original security

– Faster user retrieval 

52

11/16/2017

27

Retention

• In‐Place Retention Issues

– Decentralized responsibility for disposition

– Dedicated unit resources required for disposition management 

– Requires step of “declaration of record “ to prevent editing and modifying

53

Retention

• Records Center Retention Benefits

– Central repository 

– Manage entire organization’s records in repository

– Central policy governing disposition

54

Page 28: Today’s Agenda...Establishing Information Governance for Local Governments in Microsoft SharePoint Alexander Webb, CRM, IGP Records Management Officer Capital Metropolitan Transportation

11/16/2017

28

Retention

• Records Center Retention Issues

– Records move to another location

– Requires defined content types and content organizer rules

– Requires duplication of security settings 

– Increases User searching and retrieval time

55

Disposition

• The automatic retention policies that come with O365 SharePoint DO NOT document before deletion.

– The Local Government Records Act requires documentation before destruction.

– Without a 3rd Party Tool you will need to manually delete your content.

– Setting up a Workflow may be able to accomplish this.

Disposition in SharePoint O365

57

• Create Views based on Event Date and Retention

QUERYQUERY

• Export View into an Excel Report to review and create log.

REVIEW REVIEW • One by One

• Undeclare

• Recycle Bin

DELETEDELETE

Final Thoughts

• O365 SharePoint is a great collaborative platform that can save your organization maintenance costs

• Out of the box records management functions are very manual and Records Managers should be aware of this before implementation

58

Page 30: Today’s Agenda...Establishing Information Governance for Local Governments in Microsoft SharePoint Alexander Webb, CRM, IGP Records Management Officer Capital Metropolitan Transportation

11/16/2017

30

Final Thoughts

• Organizations should review their requirements carefully to determine which SharePoint is right for them.

– On Premise

– Office 365

– In Place Retention

– Record Center

– 3rd Party Tools

59

Final Thoughts

• Know your organization’s goals for migrating

to SharePoint.

• Know your business processes.

• Know your customers.
