Claire Our Records Management Service in East Sussex whcih currently provides RM for East Sussex County Council as well as Brighton and Hove City Council, the East Sussex Fire Brigade and CAFCASS under contract has 10 miles of shelving in our warehouses - all of which is managed on the CALM RM database. We moved over to this as a pilot over a year ago(DS CALM for Archives was already well established in a number of offices). If you would like more info/a demo contact our Records Manager, Colin Hinton ([log in to unmask]). He is on leave this week but back on Monday. Wendy Walker Archives and Records Management ESCC/Brighton and Hove -----Original Message----- From: Claire Park [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 06 February 2003 10:17 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: First of Two Questions In Cumbria we are currently in the middle of migrating between office management systems, the old system (Officepower-if anyone is familiar with that?) is being gradually phased out and will cease working in March/April 2003. Ways have already been found to replace our communciations function using Microsoft Outlook but little thought has been given to data/information management. At the Records Centre we have several huge databases covering accessions and locations, that we are currently having difficulty converting but the main problem is finding a suitable db management system - that must be relational with an advanced search mechanism. The problem that we have is that the authority does not take a uniform approach to information management with different departments using diiferent methods and software. Obviously information management is paramount to our unit and I was wondering if anyone has any experience of any suitable systems or has any suggestions? thanks Claire ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This message is intended for the use of the addressee only and may contain confidential or privileged information.
