Hi Caroline
I think you have raised an interesting point. Something that I have been
thinking about for several years now is the idea that the EDRMS method
of capturing records may be creating problems for recordkeepers. For
example, by using an EDRMS that sits outside of other information
systems we could be reinforcing the peripheral location of recordkeeping
has in many organizations. Perhaps a more effective method might be to
start investigating how to incorporate recordkeeping functionality
directly into information systems, such as power point 2007.

Subject: Electronic Records Management Modules instead of full EDRMS
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
