¶1.  This telegram is part of an ongoing series that 
provides SMART program updates to the field.  The 
SMART vision is to provide a simple, secure, and user- 
driven system to support the conduct of diplomacy 
through modern messaging, dynamic archiving, and 
information sharing.  Instant Messaging has been made 
available to all posts and bureaus.  Pilot deployment 
of additional SMART functionality including messaging, 
collaboration, and archive search capability is 
scheduled to begin in September 2007. 
 
¶2.  Reftels A and B provide general information 
regarding the phased approach to the delivery of SMART 
functionality.  The information below addresses pilot 
deployment plans, during which SMART will be evaluated 
for worldwide deployment, scheduled to begin September 
¶2008. 
 
¶3.  The SMART messaging system simplifies Department 
messages into two types: "working" and "archival" 
messages.  Archival messages are analogous to cables, 
memos, current e-mails and other documents that have 
long-term record value to the Department of State. 
Working messages are analogous to most current e-mails 
that do not have long-term record value. 
 
¶4.  SMART Pilot 1 runs from September to November 2007 
on ClassNet only in Belgrade, Stockholm, and Muscat. 
Functionality will include: 
        Inbound - command and control legacy messages will 
be delivered to a SMART user's inbox.  Identical 
messages will still be delivered in parallel on legacy 
systems. 
        Outbound - SMART outlook forms will be used to 
draft and send test messages among the three pilot 
sites. These messages will also be temporarily stored 
in the SMART database for pilot searching but will not 
be sent through the legacy cable system for delivery. 
Command and control messaging will continue to be sent 
through legacy systems. 
        Archive/repository - will be populated with daily 
legacy messages as well as the test SMART messages 
(which will be deleted at the end of Pilot 1). 
        Searching - The most current version of SharePoint 
(Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007) will 
be used to search the archive/repository.  Basic and 
advanced search screens will be available. 
        Search Alerts - SharePoint (MOSS 2007) will be used 
to create and produce daily search alerts based on 
user interests. 
        TERP, CableXpress, and WebGram will still be fully 
functional. 
        OpenNet users will continue to use legacy CLOUT and 
WebGram systems. 
 
¶5.  Pilot 2 will take place from December 2007 through 
February 2008.  Will consist of the original three 
posts plus eight additional overseas posts (Athens, 
Tallinn, Mexico City, Windhoek, Djibouti, Tashkent, 
Hanoi, and Wellington) and selected domestic sites. 
All will begin piloting full command and control 
functionality. 
        Inbound - command and control SMART and legacy 
messages will be delivered to a SMART user's inbox. 
        Outbound - SMART outlook forms will be used to 
draft and send command and control messages. 
        Archive/repository - will be populated with all 
SMART generated messages, and daily legacy generated 
messages. 
        Searching and Search Alerts - as above 
        TERP, CableXpress, and WebGram will remain on-line 
to validate delivery of message traffic and can be 
used to process outgoing traffic as a contingency. 
        OpenNet users will continue to use legacy CLOUT and 
WebGram systems.  Unclassified CLOUT will now feed 
directly to SMART for message processing. 
 
¶6.  Pilot 3 is planned from March to May 2008. The 
same overseas and domestic pilot sites will receive 
SMART messaging capability on OpenNet in addition to 
 
STATE 00106047  002.2 OF 002 
 
 
ClassNet.  Additionally, cross-domain functionality 
(ClassNet-to-OpenNet) is planned for this pilot. 
        Full SMART functionality for the pilot sites will 
now be replicated on the OpenNet to include all 
features referenced above: inbound, outbound, 
repository, searching, and search alerts. 
        TERP, CableXpress, and WebGram will remain on-line 
to validate delivery of message traffic and can be 
used to process outgoing traffic as a contingency. 
 
¶7.  In addition to the pilot applications described 
above, SharePoint (MOSS 2007) is scheduled to begin 
pilot deployment in September at selected SMART pilot 
sites and several domestic sites. 
 
¶8.  The SMART Deployment Team will work closely with 
pilot sites to coordinate preparation requirements, 
including standardization of desktops.  Details of 
these requirements can be found at the following link: 
http://smart.state.gov 
     Specific desktop software required to run the 
SMART client form can be found at the following link: 
http://smart.state.gov/shortcut.cfm/JIC2 
 
¶9.  The SMART Program will enlist the help of pilot 
Advocacy Teams to ensure users participating in the 
pilots are introduced to the new technology.  A 
typical Advocacy Team overseas would have - at a 
minimum - an FSO, IMO, OMS, and LES.  In the best of 
circumstances, it would be chaired by the DCM or 
Management Counselor.  Advocacy Teams will have a two- 
fold responsibility: Advocating for SMART among the 
members of the post community (by providing technical 
assistance, policy guidance, trouble-shooting, and 
serving as a role model by adopting new practices); 
Advocating for the post by alerting the SMART office 
to technical and substantive problems, unanticipated 
barriers to success, and lessons learned to share with 
other posts. 
 
¶10.  The SMART web site (http://smart.state.gov) is 
routinely updated to include information about SMART. 
Advocates and IT specialists at pilot posts are urged 
to check the site frequently to keep abreast of 
changes. 
 
¶11.  Minimized considered.
