NLT at WMATA

Enterprise Document Management Architecture and Design

WMATA has called on NLT to design the architecture, develop a solution, and implement a scalable working pilot for an enterprise-wide electronic document management architecture and workflow. Leveraging the existing infrastructure, the new architecture will recommend an enterprise approach and devise organizational rules for creating/capturing, managing, storing, retrieving, delivering, and disposing of structured and unstructured documents. NLT’s mission is to provide real-time, anytime, anywhere access to every document within WMATA and to include requisite security levels, auditable history trails, and cross-functional approval authority.

The architecture will be a hybrid combining SharePoint and Documentum toolsets. It will contain SharePoint workflows that support collaborative document creation, capture of standard/ customized metadata, and storage in Documentum as an official record. The final product is intended to:

• Increase business efficiency by using automated workflows and electronic forms. 
• Decrease the cost of managing unstructured data from a variety of sources.
• Decrease the costs of managing and storing documents at an offsite archive facility. 
• Provide for a shared document scanning and storage environment. 
• Support document retention policies.
