1. Email & E-forms
Management
Reduce Risk, Prepare for
E-Discovery, and increase
the productivity of your
employees
CFMA July 2009
Presented by Carol Hagen, MBA
of Hagen Business Systems Inc
3. Exposure
Email is still out of control, with 55% of
organizations having little or no confidence
that important emails are recorded, complete
and retrievable.
Management of content types like SMS/text
messages, blogs and wikis are largely off the
corporate radar in 75% of organizations and
their lack of inclusion in the corporate archive
is a major risk.
4. Email Stats
On average, employees spend more than an
hour and a half per day processing their
emails,
with one in five spending three or more hours
of their day. Every person in your
organization spends 182 hours per year
looking for lost electronic files. Fix that,
and you’ve seriously improved your
productivity.
5. Manual Classification:
The Five Second Rule
Employees will spend up to five seconds
manually classifying documents
Average documents per employee:
150 messages, 25 files per day
Time component 175 documents per day X 5 seconds per
document x 5 days per week = 1:12 hour per week per
employee
Will employees retain seemingly hurtful documents?
Assurance and defensibility of compliance

7. Information Retention
“70% of an average
organization’s
intellectual property
resides in email
messages and
attachments.”
ESG Research 2005
9. Where is your e-mail?
SharePoint
Outlook PSTs
Exchange
Server Gmail
Backups Third Party Archive
10. What is Email
Archiving?
– Providing a system to efficiently keep a copy of all
inbound, outbound and internal email messages
– Adding the ability for end users to quickly and
easily search their own archives
– Adding the ability for administrators (HR, Legal…
etc.) to quickly and easily search the entire
archive
11. Why Archive?
A Vicious Cycle of Volume vs. Control
• PSTs difficult to
discovery centrally
• Regulatory retention Increasing storage and
schedules contribute back-up costs
to further volume/
storage issues
Quota management
often results in growing Users forced to
PSTs (Outlook auto- manage quota
archive)
12. The problems with PSTs
Compliance, cost, reliability
T Pro
• Litigation hold can’t be enforced
• PSTs cannot be easily discovered
• Lost laptop results in exposure of PSTs
• Backup/Recovery cost prohibitive
nd User
• Accessible on local machine only
• Can’t get to PSTs when needed
• PST corruptions increase on network share
• As PSTs grow, stability lessens (>5GB)
14. Why Archive E-mail?
Key drivers
olume
s data volume grows, Outlook performance compromised
ailbox quotas control volume but also encourage PSTs
etention further performance/management issues
STs add to
ompliance adds to volume challenges
egulations mandate specific retention periods for relevant email
(SOX = 5 years, SEC rules = 6 years, HIPAA = 5-6 years)
iscovery
• Manual retrieval costs can be HUGE (backup tapes, PSTs)
• FRCP Amendments (US) place strict timelines on discovery
• Amendments cover all email from all sources, including PSTs
15.
16. Legal Discovery
FRCP (Federal Rules of Civil Procedure)
– Adopted in December 2006
– Require production of all requested
electronic information within 90 days
Completeness and cost
– Nothing deleted, lost, or changed
– If all your email is in the archive, you
shouldn’t have to do desktop
discoveries
Timeliness
– You can search across your entire
archive and export all emails to a file in
about a minute
17. Cases:
Best Buy Stores vs. Developers
Diversified Realty Corp.
Developers Diversified said
that they did not have the
resources to find all the
required materials. In
response, court ordered
them to produce materials
from 345 backup tapes in 28
days at an estimated cost of
nearly $500,000 not
including attorney fees

21. How Quickly Must You Prepare?
“CIO Strategies for the Retention and Deletion of Email”, MessageOne
22.
23. Determine the Goals of the solution
Operational Efficiency
Storage/Management Costs
Security/Compliance
-then prioritize as email has many moving parts
26. Implementation Models
Application Server (EMC, Symantec)
Hosted (Google aka Postini, MessageOne)
Appliance (Arcmail, Barracuda, Mirapoint)
Client/Plug-In (search within email client)
- Some providers offer several implementation
models
27. Gather Requirements
•Gather, identify & validate requirements
•Business requirements-problems to be addressed
•Functional requirements
•Technical requirements
28. What requirements do you need?
Search including full text in attachments?
Legal Hold
Export of search results in non-proprietary electronic form
Deduplication - Single instance storage
Compression
Eliminate PSTs
Web search and/or search from within Outlook screen
Deleted email - user retrieval without tech support
Instant Messages
Platform other than Microsoft Exchange?

42. What about Exchange 2010?
Coming in late 2009 with “Archiving Feature”
Requires you to replace your Exchange Server
Hardware
‘personal archive’ - not as ‘business archive’ solution
No records management and preservation of
electronic information beyond Exchange
No case management in eDiscovery
Can’t locate and ingest your PST files in your
network beyond the file server
46. E-Forms
Adobe Acrobat – Electronically fillable form
Perfect Forms – Web-based forms with
workflow and integration (API also available)
Formatta: Electronic Forms Designed for
Distributed Capture, Workflow, and Data
Entry Automation
47. Interesting Numbers
$360 Billion (Gartner)
– The amount of money spent extracting data from forms
$60 Billion (AIIM)
– The amount spent by organizations on printed forms
$30-$150 (Gartner)
– The amount spent processing a paper form for every dollar
spent producing it.
35%
– The number of incomplete or incorrect paper forms
submitted by users
48. THE FORMS PROBLEM - User
Perspective:
Web-based vs. Server Based
75% abandonment rate - online forms
95% of web forms cannot be saved, signed,
submitted electronically
Gartner: “… infuriating…”
Formatta: “Data Rage”
Formatta Corporation 48
49. What are E-forms?
Electronic version of documents that collect
data from end users
They are the front end of most business
processes
Forms can be thought of as
the end user interface to
most applications
51. Construction Market Challenges
• Remote, decentralized operations
• Frequent collaboration with third-parties (sub-contractors,
customers)
• Ever-changing job codes
• 90% of forms are hand-written (illegible, incomplete)
• Frequent errors on forms
• Slow cycle times
• IT constraints
• Small budgets
• Minimal systems infrastructure
• Minimal computer skills
• Limited expertise
• Lack of mobile computing

application. No coding required.
57. Form Design Features
Drag-n-drop objects from the toolbox
to construct your form. Things like text
boxes, buttons, checkboxes, drop
downs, tables, lists, etc. Embed the
form into existing web pages.
58. This four page application can be used for employees to obtain approval
for days off work. It has a database look-up to automatically populate the
manager of the employee who is making the request. You can either
remove the 'find my info' button or create a simple database to query.
59. Behavior Features
Define the way that your form behaves
like calculations, branching logic, or
defining required fields. You can hide
or show different fields based upon the
users permissions. For example, a
manager may want to read or write
into certain fields that he/she wouldn’t
want others to see or be able to
change. Integrate with existing
systems.
60. Workflow Features
Layout your
workflow with this
tool. Define how
forms route and how
notifications are
sent. Integrate with
your existing
databases, web
services, and other
systems.
61. The project management application consists of 8 pages and includes a complex
workflow. It is designed for managing projects from RFP through estimating, pricing,
contract award, management, invoicing and project close. It demonstrates many input
objects including text fields, radio buttons, check boxes, drop downs and file
attachment. It shows how behavior functions operate, like notifications & escalations.
62. Reporting Features
Design comprehensive
reports that monitor
your processes using an
advanced reporting tool.
Reports are live and
dynamic. You build with
the same drag-n-drop
editor. You can report
on multiple processes.
Use to build web pages
and web portals. Great
for surveys!
63. More than just an electronic version of a paper form,
Formatta quickly captures, verifies, and moves data
where it’s needed most—the critical business systems
you use to run your organization.
Deploys in days.
Easy to use, requiring minimal training.
A fraction of the cost of alternative approaches.

65. Current Timesheet Form
•Old Paper forms
•Signature
•Fax, Mail, forms in HR
•Too many people
•Changing task codes
•No data tracking
•Sub contractors
•No Management oversight

70. Data Capture Challenges:
Subcontractor Pre-Qualification
• Serially e-mailed among multiple parties at sub-contractor for
completion, e.g., inability to process form simultaneously by
multiple parties
• Coding errors and missing data, follow-up is often required
• Information from application manually entered into LOB system
• Application manually evaluated and processed
• No central visibility into process / approval status
• Average cycle time: 2+ weeks
• Full Time Employees: 2

76. Key Questions
– How many forms do you distribute (online or on paper)
– How many of these forms get sent back from the audience
– What percentage of forms need to be reprocessed due to errors –
incomplete, inaccurate?
– What does that process look like (over the phone, mail or what)
– How does the data get from the form to the systems that need it.
– How is the form stored after it is processed?
– What are the error rates associated with those two processes?
– Does all the data from the form get into that system or is it only
key data?
– What would be the value in making all the information accessible?
– Would it increase the value of their existing enterprise systems if
that we so?
77. How is Archiving
Different from
Backups?
Backups are only a snapshot in time
Difficult to retrieve emails in a timely
manner
Date range search often requires
restoring multiple backups
No guarantee all emails are contained in
backups
78. Backup vs Archiving:
What’s The Difference?
Backup Archiving
Operational backup and Regulatory compliance and legal
disaster recovery records retention
Copies messages Offloads messages
Multiple copies Single instances
No indices or search
Indexed for discovery and retrieval
capabilities
Utilizes storage capacity Reduces storage capacity
