Today’s Presentation Covers
Miller Johnson (MJ) as-is DM & systems
MJ SharePoint DM efforts & environment
SharePoint DM is a two phase effort
Phase1 is Outlook centric (near deployment)
Phase 2 is document production centric (+90
days completion of phase 1)
Why SharePoint?
Lots of Phase 1 material to share today
2
Lots of Phase 2 to share later in the year
Firm Profile
IS Department has two Developers
Check out what we’ve accomplished with a
small team!
225 Users
95 Attorneys
Two Offices
Full Service Firm

Uncommon to most Firms but rock solid
Quick Poll
How many experimenting with
SharePoint?
How many have SharePoint in production?
Actively planning DM replacement with
SharePoint?
How many waiting for SharePoint 2010
before deciding on DM replacement?
5
Current SharePoint Systems
Numerous Client Extranets
Intranets:
Numerous Practice Management Sites
Firm Wide Client Matter Intake & Maintenance
Client, Matter, Industry Centric Views
Cross Selling
Library
Many more sites/uses

DM Vendor Challenges
Vendor turn over and over and over…
Innovation stops each time vendor is sold
Application patching lags MS cycle badly
Support base is tiny compared to SharePoint
Always a full version behind on SQL
2005: We don’t support SQL 2003 yet…
2007: We don’t support SQL 2005 yet…
Simple customizations require expensive
7
upgrades or another “module”
Why ask what you already know?
(my context rant…)
SharePoint already knows our users!
Who/what are my clients and my matters?
Who are my coworkers?
Which office, practice and section am I in?
What have I billed or worked on recently?
What industries do I practice in?
Use these at save & search screens!
Profiling client & matter ID still important
But aren’t the only way to find/save an item
8
Why We Love SharePoint!
Enterprise technology platform
Collection of web technologies & tools
Context matters!
Context updates as user navigates page
Stitch various applications into one page
One stop shopping, less application fatigue
Attorneys are consumers of data not
application experts
9
Why a SharePoint Enabled DM?
SharePoint already knows a ton about us
Now DM does too!
Reduce profile fatigue & objections
Push and trim results via user’s context
Consumes AD & personnel databases
SharePoint 90% market dominance
How can you ignore or discount that?!
10
SharePoint Continued…
SharePoint MOSS 2007 cost us less than
one year’s maintenance of current DM
btw… WSS is FREE!
Dozens of local and thousands of national
11
vendors
Unbelievable online user community
Need a widget? Just Google one up
Can leverage current release products
Amazing integration with Office 2010
Two Phase Project
Phase 1 (Sustainable Email System)
This phase focuses only on Outlook centric
functionality, build and training issues
Phase 2 (SharePoint DMS via Handshake)
Occurs 60 to 90 days after Phase 1
Discontinue as-is DM and introduces
SharePoint based Handshake DMD
Natural boundary for systems and training
between Outlook & document production
12
Firm Email Challenges
Firm has:
Nearly 3.8m emails in Exchange (~375gb)
2.2m have attachments
Nested in thousands of folders
Numerous email retention policies
Many 10+gb OSTs
Degrades Outlook & desktop performance
Complicates business continuity plans
Loaded with e-discovery risk issues
13
Phase 1 Goals
Simplify email profiling
Single click email inbox profile options
Single click email profile on send
Stamp user context on saves
Auto-profile single click saved items
Auto-profile 101
Retire Exchange 2003 for 2010
Implement Firm standard retention policy
14
New Email Archive
Custom import, partnered with Handshake
Imported from Exchange to DMD
Imported email secured user
Accessed via DMD (IE or Outlook client)
Familiar “folder” view retained in archive
Read only; no new content allowed
Can re-profile client ID/security if desire
15
