I am in the process of developing an EDRM Strategy and am exploring an
approach that utilises existing document management/scanning systems (with
SharePoint 2007 to manage desktop documents) - but supplement their
functionality with an additional records management module to act as a
repository whereby we can actually manage these documents and records.
My initial query is whether this is actually feasible; - I'm sure we're not
alone in that we have a legacy of different systems and we're not dealing
with a greenfield site where we can easily implement a corporate EDRM
solution, - so I'd be interested to learn how others have tackled this.
Is it possible to actually bolt on just a records management module,
(rather than EDRM)to existing systems, (be them document management/DIP or
line of business applications).
I'd be grateful to hear from anyone who has explored this modular approach
and the costs/benefits of doing so - especially with issues of integration.
Many thanks
Caroline
