MOSS 2007 DOD 5015.2 Certified.
I've been getting several requests from Partners and customers around the new records management certification for MOSS 2007 (DOD 5015.2) and I wanted to collate some of the information I have gathered.
First of all:
What is DoD 5015.2 Standard and why is it important?
The Department of Defense (DoD) 5015.2 Standard (STD) was born out of several process improvement initiatives and business process reengineering efforts during the early 1990’s conducted by the Department of Defense. These efforts were primarily directed at improving the preservation of official records in accordance with applicable Federal law. They were also responding to the potential loss of critical official records as a result of the growing reliance on PCs and laptop computers.
Why is DoD 5015.2 Standard certification important to Microsoft?
As Microsoft expands enterprise content management (ECM) capabilities within the Office System we are committed to the industry standards for ECM. DoD 5015.2 STD is a well know and widely adopted industry standard for records management applications in the ECM industry.
When was Microsoft certified?
Microsoft was certified on May 27th, 2007 and is listed on the JITC product register at: http://jitc.fhu.disa.mil/recmgt/register.htm.
What additional functionality is delivered by the code that was built for the certification?
· File Plan Builder – This feature implements the records manager’s experience for creating locations to store records.
· Supplemental Markings – This feature implements advanced access control logic.
· Vital Review – This feature covers the review of vital records on a periodic basis.
· Multiple Locations – This feature covers uploading the same record to multiple locations.
· Folder Holds – When a SharePoint folder is placed on hold, all records in that folder must also be placed on hold.
· Close Folders – When a folder is closed, no new records can be added to that folder.
· Referencing and Linking – This feature covers linking records together according to administrator defined relationships (e.g. cross-reference).
· Metadata propagation – This feature implements the automatic propagation of metadata changes between categories, folders, and records.
· Cutoff – This feature implements cutting off a folder such that disposition processing can begin on the folder.
· Unique ID – This feature implements transforming our internal GUID into a human readable form.
· Disposition – This feature implements the complete set of actions that can happen when a record is disposed.
· Email – This feature implements submitting email records to the repository.
· Expunge –– A whitepaper that discusses how to configure Microsoft SQL Server 2005 such that, when a record is removed from the database, it cannot be recovered
