Java JSR.• User interface options: The variety and options of UI available
– This is important because there are clearly requirements for Office, Outlook, File Share (File Share Services, WebDAV, ftp), Application API and Web Based UIs
• Flexible capability to define taxonomies, workflows, presentation templates, object models, retention policies etc. at enterprise, regional & LOB level
– From our Global Design Document, the solution should provide the interfaces and tools in order to implement the following:• Global Taxonomy and Object Hierarchy• Global Cabinet and Folder Hierarchy• Document Retention• Litigation Hold• Reference Data Synchronization and Usage

Process Engines (integaret with Staffware or others), Federated Records Management (integrate with ELAR or others), Federated Search (integrate with Endeca)
• Open Architecture: Ability to build a federated architecture, capability for interfaces/distributed architectures of several document archives/warehouses
• Document linking: How are linked documents stored/maintained, are renditions of linked/embedded documents available – The vendor must be able to demonstrate the ability to manage complex Office documents with embedded object and links.
They also need to demonstrate which UIs support this functionality.• Ability to support global search options (predictive document caching), how are searches and document retrieval enabled in a
federated model. In a federated model, how are local repository documents included in global searches.• Messaging capabilities between applications/internal parties
