Combine the Best of SharePoint® and Livelink® or RDIMS (eDocs) with Process-Driven Collaboration

Combining the best of SharePoint and Livelink provides collaborative business solutions that generate User Acceptance + Rich Functionality + Records Compliance.

Process-Driven Collaboration is an innovative module for SharePoint 2007 that greatly enhances team effectiveness and company results. It enables the synergy of collaboration within distributed teams, ensures process consistency and compliance, reduces administrative burden for team members and leaders and gives management visibility to team results.

Combining the best of SharePoint and your existing Livelink or RDIMS (eDocs) ECM system is particularly relevant if you are facing user resistance to adopting Livelink or RDIMS (eDocs) based business solutions, or if you are finding it too costly or too difficult to develop functionally rich solutions for your document centric business processes.

Successful ECM Solutions
There are three critical factors that lead to a successful ECM solution:

User Acceptance

Clearly the Office desktop applications and SharePoint provide the most familiar authoring and collaboration user interfaces of any business application in the world. Using these applications as the front end for your business solutions will ensure a high degree of user acceptance

Meeting Business Requirements

Process-Driven Collaboration was designed specifically to help members of business teams work together to achieve and exceed their goals - to help them combine and grow ideas, innovate, collect and analyze data, review and iterate submissions, and make decisions. Process-Driven Collaboration combines team collaboration with business process workflow.

Long Term Content Management

Organizations that have already invested in ECM systems such as Livelink and RDIMS (eDocs) have in-place document and archiving infrastructure that deliver enterprise wide, centrally controlled lifecycle management for their corporate records. This provides organizations with the critical assurance they require for compliance, control and security of business information over the long term. Livelink and RDIMS (eDocs) can be integrated with SharePoint and hence Process-Driven Collaboration through the use of web parts so that content created in SharePoint can be added to Livelink or RDIMS (eDocs) and content stored or archived in these systems can be presented in SharePoint.

• Visual process presentation and guidance for the entire team
