Why SharePoint?
• Accountability issues with network shares
• Microsoft shop – Microsoft platform
• ‘Single source of truth’ with unique, persistent
IDs, versioning, audit trails, workflows - OOTB
• ‘Local’ access/permission controls
• Legal compliance/retention and disposal
• Search
• Integration with Office / metadata
• However … there are issues
DRM ‘foundation’ elements
• Standards - AS ISO 15489 (RM), ISO 16175 (EDMS)
• Policies/procedures
– DRM Policy
– Records Retention Schedules
• Governance
• Technical architecture
• DRM design

SharePoint 2013 differences

• Submission’s
Content Type
• Conditions
(multiple)

DRM functionality
DRM workflows
Audit Trails on Content Types
• Must be enabled and Content Types made
available in Libraries
• Only different items here will be audited (on top
of Site Collection settings)
Audit Trails in Site Collections
• Trim period set at Farm level (default setting)
• Site Collection option to save when ‘trimmed’
Audit Trails - Reporting
• Summary
• Details
Metadata issues
• Document (and email) ‘native’ metadata not
captured in list columns – e.g., ‘Date Created’
– However, document/email retains original metadata
• SP metadata ‘Date Created’ starts again when
document is moved to Records Centre
Records Centre issues
• Loss of metadata
• Loss of previous versions
• However, document ID is retained and leaves
hyperlink stub
Disposal issues
• On-site vs ‘Send to Records Centre’
• Review first, not just delete
– Site Collection feature
• Export metadata to spreadsheet before deleting
to keep metadata
Email issues
• Only real option is save email to drive, save to
SharePoint library
• SharePoint 2013 Site Mailboxes – not quite there
– See: http://www.scinaptic.com/sharepoint-2013-sitemailboxes.html
