17. Information Overload & Information Management Overload

18. SAMI 2 Charter • Purpose Statement: • The goal of this team is “solve the SAMI problem.” This has many facets, but ultimately means determining the platform for shared intranet communications to global field sales as well as shared internal communications within marketing. It includes creating the site map/structure with a user-friendly interface and populating the new SAMI with “clean” data. • Replacement for a platform that was no longer going to be supported – Lotus Notes • Goal: One location to store and find documents needed by global sales, service and marketing teams • Success measured by improved customer (internal) satisfaction • ie. increased use of SAMI, reduction of shared drive files, reduced complaints

19. SAMI2 Project Duration • Time Frame: • Start Point: Mar. 26, team formation, weekly meetings • June 1: • Platform chosen • Aug. 30: • Information transferred to SAMI2 • Front-end design complete for SAMI 2 • Sept. 2-18: Initial Training/Testing • End Point: Sept. 30: Launch & Training

20. SAMI 2 Current Knowledge • Feedback from customers: • SAMI is absolutely necessary to share information between marketing and sales • Too many sources of information (F drive, SAMI, Sales Intranet, Marketing Intranet, SAMI DMZ), making it hard to find anything or determine what is the latest/correct version • SAMI not organized well and not easy to use • Search tool on SAMI doesn’t work well • Must download huge files without a thumbnail or way to know if it’s what you need first • Based on LOTUS Notes so difficult to post docs and impossible to cross-link them • Not used internationally until DMZ launched a few months ago

21. SAMI 2 Customer Needs • Customers: • Global sales and marketing teams • Needs: • One location to store and find documents needed by global sales and marketing teams; including an area password protected for marketing items that are not ready for public distribution by sales • Supports corp./dept. strategies: • Improves ability to share information between sales & marketing • Reduces wasted time searching for files • Ensures correct information is provided to customers

22. SAMI Usage Survey Results If you could improve SAMI what would you change? • “Quicker connection” • “Easier to use” • “More organized” • “Categorize information better” • “Better search engine” • “Ability to preview documents without having to scroll to the bottom” • “Quality of scanned documents are very poor” • “Post product data sheets as soon as possible”

23. SAMI Usage Survey Results Please rank in order of importance to your usage? 1 Application Information 2 Product Info 3 Competitive Data 4 Sales Tools Link 5 Certifications 6 News/Latest Info 7 Other

24. SAMI 2 Scope • Included: • Includes creating 1 location for content currently on SAMI, Marketing Intranet, Sales Intranet and F drive • Includes platform, moving documentation, new posting procedures • Includes design of front-end user-friendly interface • Includes training users (sales & marketing) • Includes determining how to replicate on European servers • Process to add new users/passwords • Boundaries: • Does not include other intranet sites or departments • Only MMI, does not include Flow or other Emerson divisions • System will still require uploaders to properly tag files and maintain them in a current state

25. Musts Ease-of-use interface (customizable dashboards preferred) Cross-linking Search by content & meta tags Easy to post Intl/outside LAN access Links to Opal, PlantWeb, PPT library, etc. Wants 1.

27. SAMI 2 Platform Determination • LOTUS - Doesn’t meet our needs & being phased out • MMI Intranet structure - Doesn’t meet our needs • HTML - Doesn’t meet our needs • XML - Doesn’t meet our needs • eDocs • Pros: Meets our needs the best by far; off-the-shelf so minimal support needed; on European servers; becoming widely used in Emerson; can use Emerson license; being tested for MMI technical documentation • Cons: Dashboard tool must be purchased separately • SharePoint • Pros: Somewhat meets our needs; off-the-shelf so minimal support needed; on European servers; Dashboard tool • Cons: Not as robust as eDocs; works best on Windows2000 • Matrix One • Pros: Minimally meets our needs; being used in MMI manufacturing • Cons: Very hard fit into our requirements, anticipate big problems with this tool • EPM Best Practices: L.A. Intranet - No. All posting thru 1 person • PlantWeb “preview” -No. They create each of these manually • Custom - Too costly and undependable to roll out Intl and get tech support

28. SAMI 2 Open Issues • Posting open to all users? • How to manage correct cataloging of content? Funnel through 1-2 people/world area? • Multi-lingual • Interface in multiple languages?

29.
