Define Scope of Implementation
Evaluate existing data conditionStandard Parts library usage?
Implement Workflows / Notifications
Data Import What Comes First / How Long Will it Take?
Is all data history required or only current revision?
Extend to other document types in office
Release ProcessECO Process
View & Markup Process

Maintenance / Disaster Recovery Plan
Backup database regularly Use the built in backup inside SQL or third party (AvePoint)
Enterprise Manager DB, SE DB, WSS DB & Master DB
Back up these to another location
Use backup utility to backup entire Db.
Truncate log files or verify this is happening often.
Monitor Log File drive on a regular basis. If its getting large, investigate reason
Have a plan for the failure of the backup plan
