OCC chose a Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) product to simplify development 4 WISDM is a configured installation of Open Text’s e. DOCS tool 4 Open Text e. DOCs is a DOD 5015. 2 -compliant, industry-standard document and record management tool used by multiple government agencies as well as private industry 4 WISDM interfaces with a legacy data management system and Active Directory 4 WISDM configuration of e. DOCs is limited - Out-of-the-box functionality is stable, vendor-supported and proven - Provides 95% of desired functions, remaining 5% configured included document profiles and RM records schedule - No customization - Minimizes deployment and upgrade costs 4 Limited changes allowed swift implementation of desired functions 8
Development followed a Rational Unified Process (RUP)-based model for creating the new system, while mapping to OCC’s SDLC Modified RUP-based model for WISDM Development Inception Elaboration Construction Transition Iterative ü Agree on system goal among all stakeholders ü Agree on risks, costs, and schedule ü Identify critical system functions ü Identify high-level system structure ü Validate and baseline structure ü Identify specific functional and technical requirements ü Address risks ü Analyze system functionality ü Develop system functionality ü Test system ü Clarify any remaining requirements ü Train end-users ü Make system available for endusers ü Move to operations and maintenance mode ü Agree that system is complete as required Ongoing Communication, User Outreach and Training 9
Multiple workstreams contributed start-to-finish support to system development WISDM Workstreams Responsibilities 1 Requirements & Design ü Requirements management and tracking (2 tracks – DM and RM) 2 Development & Integration ü System build and integration with existing OCC systems, defect correction 3 4 Change Management & Training ü Planning and delivering cultural change management and training efforts Testing ü Test Case/Script development, testing, defect identification and tracking 5 Operations and User Support 6 Project Management & Oversight 7 Security ü Front-line support for WISDM users ü Delivery coordination, risk management, EVM budget and schedule management, and CMMI tracking ü Ensuring technical security of system 10

Consistent communications and user outreach moved users through system adoption to ownership 4 Stakeholder analysis and creation of a Communications Plan and Stakeholder Engagement Strategy determined who needed to be informed, key messages, and frequency 4 Regular communications and user outreach efforts (e. g. , monthly memorandums, demonstrations) kept users engaged early and often throughout system development 4 Post-deployment ongoing communications include emailed Tips & Tricks and regular Training Champion teleconferences 15
Consistent, task-focused learning enabled users to integrate WISDM into their work 4 Learning development directed hands-on practice for system tasks essential to the user’s job role 4 Varied training mechanisms addressed a range of learning preferences, from self-paced e-learning to instructor-led training (ILT) 4 Training delivery was a multi-phase effort, educating users in stages culminating in an intense drive just before deployment 4 Ongoing learning efforts include refresher computer-based training (CBT), WISDM Webinar series 16
WISDM’s success can be attributed to the technology, processes and people used to implement it “ 75% of e-business initiatives fail. ” -Gartner Group Study, 2005 Why was WISDM successful? Cross functional sponsorship and management 4 Sponsorship by agency’s key division (for OCC: Large Bank Supervision) 4 Close collaboration between IT and business unit 4 Active senior leadership sponsorship and ongoing support 4 Assignment to WISDM development of appropriately-scoped, dedicated resources with the technical and business-oriented skill-sets Industry-standard software 4 Careful measurement of potential solutions against requirements 4 Use of industry-standard, Do. D 5015. 2 compliant tool 4 Tool provided full document/records management functionality with little customization User-initiated requirements Sustained cultural change management 4 Development and validation of requirements by end-users 4 Careful technical change management and control throughout development lifecycle 4 Sustained cultural change management effort to promote adoption and ownership, beginning from project inception 4 Continuous analysis of barriers to change and mitigating efforts 4 Liaison between users and integrators to ensure user concerns appropriately communicated 4 Use of change agents (e. g. , Training Champions) to “cascade” change through organization 17
The joint team took several lessons away from the development effort; key items appear here What have we learned? Collaboration 4 Build solid relationships among key project leaders 4 Establish and agree upon clear roles and responsibilities of key project leaders Risk Management 4 Develop and adhere to schedule / structured methodology for system development; don’t underestimate time required for planning 4 Employ phased deployment to catch and resolve early issues before general deployment 4 Clearly define procedures for escalating risks to appropriate stakeholders 4 Clearly state impact of risks on schedule, costs and product quality Scope Management 4 Make technical and functional requirements specific, testable, and measurable 4 Build in bite-sized pieces with the end goal of enterprise-wide use in mind 4 Be realistic about what can be reasonably implemented and absorbed by the target user community 4 Recognize that new issues will continue to arise, and work them into requirements and ongoing development (future enhancements) User Involvement 4 Understand address stakeholders’ needs and comfort levels before system deployment 4 Provide frequent opportunities for feedback on prototypes and requirement documentation 4 Involve stakeholders early and often 18
Next steps for WISDM include quarterly updates and expansion to enterprise-wide document and record management WISDM is currently in use by two OCC business units, Large Banks Supervision and the Records Management group, with plans to expand to an enterprise-wide solution Quarterly releases will continue to enhance WISDM functionality Other business units within OCC have requested access to store and locate documents in WISDM External agencies have expressed interest on obtaining access to WISDM for research purposes WISDM faces a few challenges in the road ahead: • Electronic signatures for official records • Integration of new technologies to add capabilities such as workflows, Smart Documents, and new interfaces • Improving performance across a geographically distributed user base • Long-term preservation of records 19
