DOCUMENT MANAGEMENT RECORDS MANAGEMENT SRCA Goals •Document Creation •Document Workflow •Manage Content •Define Context •Enable Control •Document Capture •Document Classification •Records Conservation •Records Compliance •Records Disposition 8 SRCA: Outcome/Benefits/Drawbacks Outcome SRCA developed a framework for implementation of a statewide ERMS/EDMS solution. Benefits Drawbacks Provided strategy for improving management of inactive electronic records residing in an EDMS. No available funds to implement solution. Provided strategy for moving from paper-based workflow process to EDMS driven process. Length of time required to implement EDMS. Agencies have differing amounts of paper intensive business processes in place. 9 HSD: Agency Project Description The HSD Electronic Document Management Systems (EDMS) project converts Child Support paper files into electronic formats. Child Support Application Court Orders Employer Verification Acknowledgement of Paternity (AOP) Form Prepare Cases Scan Documents Index Information Store Documents Mainframe Posting CSED Staff can successfully reduce the time of access from a three to five day wait to a few minutes. Faster and Accurate Workflow 10 HSD: Agency Project Cost HSD’S EXPENDITURE Description Original Budget ARRA Funds Total Professional Service $503,703 $30,352 $534,055 Hardware $194,930 $36,855 $231,785 Software $415,803 $73,171 $488,974 Network $0 $0 $0 Other $208 $0 $208 Total $1,114,644 $140,378 $1,255,022 11 HSD: Agency Project Timeline EDMS Project Planned To End Agencies to Submitted Request for Funding SRCA to Completed the Assessment EDMS Project Planned Closeout Plan Actual 2004 Agencies Submitted Request for Funding 2005 2006 2007 2008 Federal Review Delays Project Three Months SRCA Completed the Assessment Procurement Issues Delay Project Six Months Project Reinstated 2009 Reconciliation of funds HSD and TRD Split Funds EDMS Pilot Goes Live in Three Offices Remaining Funds Used for Production Expansion to Remaining Office. 2010 Deployed EDMS EDMS Project Closeout 12 HSD: Outcome/Benefits/Drawbacks Outcome Benefits Open to 410 Users (Field Staff, Call Center Staff, Corresponding Posting Staff). Reliable, faster and easier retrieval of documents. Deployed to17 field offices. Simultaneous access to documents by multiple people. The ability to scan and manage the Application, Court Order, Employment Verification and Acknowledgement of Paternity (AOP) Form. Ability to share case files across related lines of business. The system will process over 40,000 pages of material per month. Reduces the time of access from a 3 to 5 day wait to a few minutes. Accessible from any Child Support Enforcement System (CSES) networked computer. Manage subsequent updates. HSD CSED established a document database. HSD selected IBM”s robust enterprise-class platform. With approximately 63,000 open Child Support Cases every office and every case has need of the ability to have the Application, Court Order, Employment Verification and Acknowledgement of Paternity (AOP) Form captured and managed. Manageable to rollout to additional users, and/or expand its capabilities further. Drawbacks Requires vendor support Maintenance and Operations. Future document data storage costs. Requires technical staff to be IBM Certified. 13 HSD: Moving Forward The Structure of HSD’s EDMS Document Imaging Document Management Integrated Document Archiving & Retrieval Routine Workflow Base Application Service Data Base Service Storage Device Drivers Operating System HSD’s EDMS FileNet System is built on an enterprise-class platform. •Equipped to roll out applications to additional users. •Built to expand on its capabilities further. 14 TRD: Project Description • Goal: – Improve TRD services specifically for Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) and the Revenue Processing Division (RPD) – Improve business processes for Motor Vehicle citations with ECM solutions, including: • Document Imaging • Electronic Document Management • Workflow Management • Appropriation Allocation: $636,952 15 TRD: Project Cost TRD’s Cost Breakdown of General Funds Expenditures Professional Services $410,482 Hardware $32,589 Software $193,673 Other Total $208 $636,952 16 TRD: Outcome/Benefits/Drawbacks Outcome Benefits Established metadata and procedural process with SRCA; available as a model for future TRD ECM projects. Clear advantages for MVD: data is accessible in minutes instead of days/weeks. No real process improvement for RPD with MVD citations. Scanned citations available from 85 field offices instead of only microfilm at HQ. Only used intermittently due to RPD issues/preferences. Central repository of citation material. Drawbacks Needed stronger TRD executive support; competition for resources. RPD resources not available during tax season (Dec – May). TRD does not have the budget for maintenance and operation. 17 TRD: Lessons Learned • Citation record is complicated; may have been better to start ECM with simpler record series, smaller scope. • “Black box” solution does not allow modifications without vendor assistance/cost. • TRD requires a highly sophisticated KFI application to fulfill the high volume citation processes for MVD; this solution did not allow TRD to reach daily goals. • Officer handwriting causes most citations to require data entry, don’t go through automatic path. • Should have put emphasis on TRACS and receiving data electronically instead of ECM for MVD citations. • Key staff turnover and lack of adequate cross training had negative affects. 18 Future Expansion • Expanding on the ECMS Investment: Records Management Document Centric Collaboration Digital Asset Management Web Content Management The Future for Enterprise Content Management System Forms Processing Workflow Management Email Archiving • The EDMS platform has the potential to expand its capabilities to seven additional modules. • Evaluate future options based on business process. • Evaluate future resources based on potential cost savings. 29 In Conclusion: • Secure funding for an Enterprise Content Management System which will serve as a Centralized Electronic Records Repository. • Promulgate metadata standards to ensure the accurate and low cost capture, management and legal disposition of inactive electronic records. • Adopt an ECM strategy that combines a centralized approach to records management with distributed implementation of electronic document management systems. 20 Lessons Learned • Sufficient resources (staff and funding) are required for the implementation of an enterprise content management solution. This prevents delays and allows the work to be carried out in a timely fashion. • Records management should be recognized as a core business function. This allows for records to be controlled and accessible. • For EDMS to succeed, automated workflow analysis is a critical business functions. This allows continuous field office performance improvement through automation capabilities. • A solid data governance structure is required for an effective Enterprise e-records management. This allows for the overall management of the availability, usability, integrity, and security of the data employed in an enterprise. 21 Questions:
