Mirelle has extensive experience with SharePoint, both on-premises and online, and can fulfill many roles within a Microsoft 365 Information and Document Management System (IDMS) project. She is an Information Architect and Information Management specialist with expertise in compliance and information lifecycle management.

She designs IDMS site topologies and develops architectural diagrams, Concepts of Operations (ConOps), security models, enterprise configurations, workflows, and taxonomies.

Mirelle has extensive knowledge of Microsoft Purview, including sensitivity labels, retention labels and policies, adaptive scopes, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), and other information governance and compliance capabilities.

One of Mirelle’s strengths is facilitating engaging and collaborative client working sessions. She creates a comfortable environment where clients can explore ideas, ask questions, and better understand what Microsoft 365 and SharePoint can do for them. Rather than simply asking clients to define their requirements, she guides the conversation to uncover needs, business processes, pain points, and requirements that may not initially be obvious.

When appropriate, Mirelle prototypes solutions live during working sessions, allowing clients to see and interact with ideas as they emerge. This hands-on approach helps make the technology less intimidating, encourages discussion, and often brings out valuable requirements and feedback that are difficult to capture through traditional interviews alone.

She analyzes business and technical requirements and designs effective Microsoft 365 and SharePoint solutions focused on usability, productivity, collaboration, governance, and maintainability. Whenever possible, she leverages out-of-the-box Microsoft 365 capabilities and develops rapid prototypes to validate requirements and gather early client feedback.

Mirelle works effectively within Agile project teams, participating in Scrum activities and helping project managers define sprints and delivery priorities. She uses Azure DevOps to create user stories, document requirements and acceptance criteria, collaborate with project teams, and track issues and defects.

Mirelle provides Information Architecture services to organizations seeking an information structure that reflects what the organization does. She specializes in functional and faceted classification, creating structures that are intuitive, scalable, and aligned with an organization’s business functions and activities.

Her approach includes functional decomposition and an in-depth analysis of the organization’s functions, sub-functions, activities, and business processes. She can also conduct comprehensive document and information inventories across multiple content sources to understand what information exists, where it resides, how it is used, and how it should be organized.

Mirelle designs enterprise taxonomies, metadata structures, and classification models that help connect structured and unstructured information across the organization, improving consistency, findability, navigation, and information management.

She has extensive experience collaborating with Information Management, business, development, and architecture teams to establish a strong Information Architecture foundation that supports both business needs and technology solutions.

Mirelle specializes in designing and implementing Enterprise Document and Records Management Systems (EDRMS) for federal government and private-sector organizations.

She has extensive experience using Microsoft SharePoint as both a collaboration platform and the foundation for enterprise document and records management solutions. Mirelle designs EDRMS solutions that manage the complete information lifecycle, from document creation and capture through active use, retention, and final disposition.

Depending on the organization’s requirements and technology environment, she can design solutions using Microsoft 365 and SharePoint out-of-the-box capabilities, Microsoft Purview, third-party records management solutions such as Gimmal and RecordPoint, or in combination with enterprise repositories such as GCDocs (OpenText).

Her focus is on creating practical, sustainable solutions that integrate document management, records management, compliance, collaboration, and information governance while making it as easy as possible for users to manage information correctly as part of their everyday work.

Mirelle has a passion for identifying process waste, eliminating bottlenecks, and removing the frustrations that inefficient processes create for employees and management. Most of all, she enjoys finding practical ways to simplify work and improve productivity.

She works directly with government and private-sector clients to understand how their business processes really work, identify what isn’t working, and determine where meaningful improvements can be made. This may include reducing process cycle times, eliminating unnecessary steps, improving information flow, reducing costs, and improving the employee or client experience.

Mirelle documents and analyzes the current “AS-IS” state and works collaboratively with stakeholders to design the improved “TO-BE” state. She uses techniques such as Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), decision modelling, Lean principles, root cause analysis, and other process improvement techniques.

Rather than simply automating an inefficient process, Mirelle first challenges unnecessary steps and assumptions and looks for opportunities to simplify the process.

She can then prototype and build practical solutions using Microsoft Power Apps, Power Automate, SharePoint, and Microsoft 365. This can include intuitive business applications, automated approvals and notifications, task automation, and solutions that integrate business processes with SharePoint and other organizational data sources.

Mirelle’s combination of business analysis, process transformation, Information Management, and Microsoft 365 expertise allows her to work directly with both business and technical stakeholders—from understanding the problem through to designing and prototyping a practical solution.

Mirelle creates business architecture blueprints that provide a common, enterprise-wide understanding of how an organization operates and how its different components work together.

She can map and align an organization’s mandate, vision, strategic drivers, goals and objectives with its capabilities, value streams, performance measures, programs and sub-programs, functions and sub-functions, business processes, organizational structure, products and services, and strategic initiatives.

By connecting these elements, Mirelle helps organizations understand their current state, identify gaps and opportunities, and determine what needs to change to achieve their future vision.

She can develop business architecture models and visualizations using the organization’s preferred tools and methodologies and work with business and technical stakeholders to translate strategic objectives into practical transformation initiatives.

Mirelle is DoDAF certified and brings together her experience in business architecture, business analysis, process improvement, Information Architecture, and Information Management to provide a comprehensive view of organizational transformation.
