Managing Public Sector Records with Microsoft SharePoint and EMC Captiva
Integrating the capture of public sector records with Microsoft SharePoint environmentsToday’s public sector organizations at the state, local, and federal level are aiming to reduce costs,
streamline operations, and achieve greater operational efficiencies. Many public sector agencies
and departments are dealing with a massive amount of paper records every day, and these records
contain important and often confidential information. Paper records are costly to deal with as well as
difficult to manage, track, disseminate, and store. By digitizing their records and employing an effective
data capture solution, government and public sector organizations across all agencies—justice,
public safety, health and human services, taxes and finance, etc.—can realize cost savings as well as
productivity improvements.
Much of the information resides in paper documents and can easily be misplaced or lost. Paper forms,
faxes, e-mail, and other document types are also costly and difficult to efficiently manage, track,
disseminate, and store. Despite the importance of their work, government employees may be hampered
by the lack of sophisticated tools for capturing and converting paper records into digital records. Tax forms,
court cases, interview documents, applications, and other documents can be converted from a physical
record to an online or digital record, making them easier to share across and within agencies, thereby
improving productivity and providing faster, better service delivery to citizens.
For these reasons, many government organizations are moving towards integrated systems in areas
such as justice, human services, tax, and revenue that enable departments and agencies across the
system to more effectively collaborate, share information, enhance processes, and improve services.
To function at peak efficiency, these systems rely on the capture and digitalization of information.
Microsoft® and EMC have joined forces to create an effective records capture and management solution
that addresses key challenges for customers in the public sector. This tested, proven solution delivers
capture management and information access capabilities. By leveraging the EMC® Captiva® intelligent
enterprise capture platform and Microsoft SharePoint® technologies, public sector agencies can scan,
capture, and index information directly to a SharePoint library, where it can be securely managed,
searched, and retrieved. Moreover, our records capture solution helps agencies meet citizen service
demands more efficiently through a shared, scalable infrastructure.
Enabling public sector organizations to easily capture, identify, classify, and manage recordsAnchored by a highly scalable, flexible, and modular architecture, EMC intelligent enterprise capture
technology is an integral part of EMC case-based solutions for the public sector, which combine capture,
storage, process management, and automation. It can process a few thousand pages per day to a few
hundred thousand on a single server. For larger volumes, the EMC Captiva platform can scale across
multiple servers, supporting centralized or distributed capture environments.

Thousands of organizations have turned to EMC to manage paper more effectively, lowering cost,
streamlining business processes, improving customer service, and reducing compliance risks.
Intelligent capture technology enables public sector agencies to:
• Identify and classify documents—save time and reduce the manual presorting of documents
through automated document identification
• Extract and validate data—lessen the need for manual data entry and ensure the accuracy
of information delivered to business systems
• Secure and retrieve criminal and non-criminal records—easily leverage the collaborative,
process, and content management capabilities of Microsoft SharePoint
Improving business and serving constituents across multiple public sector agenciesIn addition to the benefits listed above, there are specific advantages to be realized by public sector
departments in specific segments. Public safety organizations can reduce the manual management of
paper records, enabling more “feet on the street” and improving citizen safety. Additionally, having
the ability to share records across police departments, parole offices, court cases, and other justice
departmentsmeansthatmorecriminalcasescanberesolvedquickly,efficiently,andwithaslittle
cost as possible.
Another segment that benefits from this capture solution is health, welfare, and social services. Every
citizen enrolled in a welfare or service program has a file, and the ability to store all information on
a digital platform and include records of home visits, personal information, health information, etc.
means that citizens receive better services and the state is able to keep track of who is receiving what
and when.
Tax and revenue departments deal with a lot of information every day of the year. The ability to store
informationdigitallyasopposedtoonpapermeanslessstoragespaceisrequired,informationis
easier to access, and data can be more effectively secured from hackers as well as accidental human
error. Backup technologies can be automatically applied, which enhances business continuity. And
services can be delivered through online portals—a system that is being rapidly adopted across many
public sector agencies.
These are just some of the benefits that public sector customers will achieve when they adopt an
EMC Captiva and Microsoft SharePoint solution for records management. With this solution, document
capture is no longer a separate technology, but a capability that can be leveraged throughout an
agency at any point in a business process. EMC supports development tools that enable capture to
