The Traditional Responses
- Pass problem back to users
– Make changes one document at a time (click, click, click…)
- Pass problem to system administrators
– Create and run scripts / WebReports etc. – Use Object Importer (needs scripting and data conversion)
- Use extract / import type tools
– Simple approach, but… – Disconnected from business rules and system controls – Users require at least some technical knowledge – Generally requires user and administrator involvement

The Management Challenge
Business users and their knowledge are distributed. Definition of process and governance is centralised. Business users need tools that help them do their job – how, where and when they need it done. Businesses need to ensure policy and processes are complied with.
SLIDE 5
The Traditional Responses
- Ignore the problem
– It’s just “noise”, no priority, etc….
- Blame the software
– “Why won’t it do this already?” / “Let's try something else”
- Separate process from data
– Export, import data and/or metadata
- Separate data from controls
– “but what about compliance….and the audit trail….?”
