Building a fileplan for electronic records, 4th February & 29th September

EDRM systems offer the opportunity for organisations to deploy a single 
classification structure against which any folder of documents can be 
classified. For this to be of benefit to the organisation it needs to be: 
comprehensive (covering all the activities in your organisation) - future-proof 
(so that you don’t have to change it when organisational structure or 
processes change) - logical, consistent and concise (so that it works well as a 
classification) - understood and acceptable to people in your organisation
This course will prepare you for building such a scheme.

Introduction to EDRM, 14th May

Moving to EDRM is a huge change for an organisation and for individual users.
Getting the system set up and on people’s desktops is one thing, but the 
compliance and information sharing benefits of EDRM will only be realised if 
people actually use the system to save their records and to seek out the 
information they need. This course is about: 
•	helping people to understand, influence and shape changes that 
affect them 
•	helping people develop the skills and capabilities they need to 
prosper in the new situation 
•	building commitment and energy for the change

Introduction to Metadata, 24th September
  
Metadata is the information about an information resource that enables others 
to find it, to interpret it and to manage it. Metadata is fundamentally a simple 
concept: it consists of a metadata field and a value entered into that field. 
Managing metadata is the art of establishing which fields you need, and of 
ensuring the quality and consistency of values entered into those fields.

Introduction to records management, 26th February, 2nd June & 10th

Records management is the discipline that enables organizations to keep

so many different places in which to store and share the documentation of 
their work.
This one day course looks at the core principle of records management, and 
how they can be applied to assess and improve your organisation’s record 
management systems, policies and practice.

How can your organisation utilise SharePoint 2007 to meet its record keeping
