State Court Administrator’s Office. The mission of the State Court Administrator’s Office (SCAO) is to provide leadership and direction for the effective operations of the SCAO through support of the Judicial Council, oversight of all SCAO divisions, and coordination of legislative relations, ensuring the provision of sound legal advice, and monitoring branch financial practices through the use of regular internal audits. The State Court Administrator plans for statewide Judicial Branch needs, develops and promotes statewide administrative practices and procedures, oversees the operation of statewide court programs and strategic initiatives, and serves as a liaison with other branches of government. Background. Increasing communications and business process effectiveness is an important goal for the SCAO. SCAO currently uses SharePoint2010 but has neither applied strategic information architecture nor best practices or principles relating to naming conventions, meta data and standardization. SharePoint was introduced as a replacement to a network drive and has since built out the collaborative features of SharePoint which are used in both projects and daily work processes throughout the MJB. The lack of effective information architecture makes it difficult to navigate the current infrastructure; combined with a lack of best practices and principles makes locating sites, documents and information on the SharePoint intranet inefficient and wearisome. PROJECT GOAL The goal for this project is to establish a new content strategy, information architecture, and visual design for the Judicial Branch’s SharePoint intranet. PROJECT DELIVERABLES The following artifacts will be produced during the project’s progression: User Experience Project Definition Regular written project status reports Project schedule and time estimates Business, Technical, and User Requirements Content Audit Report and content migration plan Content Strategy Recommendations Vendor recommended activities to develop a new Information Architecture Judicial Branch Intranet Information Architecture Design Wireframes representing the navigation, page layout, and content areas of the Intranet A new Visual user-centric Design for the SharePoint intranet SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
