    Records are a historical archive, document management involves current documents that are subject to change.

    Not that records don't need managing, but not in the same way.

      A Record is something that is finalised and that is not subject to change in the near future. A Document is subject to change and can eventually become a Record.

      There are e-RM systems like Meridio that often work with increasingly popular collaboration systems like Sharepoint, but a e-RM system and a collaboration system are not the same things.

          Haha, that's gonna happen here I think. Right now we are a quarter way into an e-RM rollout, but they now want Sharepoint too.

            Sharepoint is not great for document management.

              Here it will be used as a collaboration tool which interfaces into an e-RM system that is also being rolled out.

              I don't think Sharepoint is meant to be used as a doc management system...

                I agree, but it is being used as such by two of my recent big clients, including the one beginning with "M" !

                  Trust M to use their own software in a way it wasn't meant to be used!

                  Right now we're all waiting on TNA to pull their finger out and develop a schema for migrating across different e-RM systems.

                  Migrating across different e-RM systems is a pain.

                    Looks like expertise in Meridio can pay extremely well. Jobserve have just sent me 3 different ads for the same "Meridio Consultant" contract today: one agent is quoting £600-£1100 / day, one quoting £750-£1000 / day, and one quoting an ultra-precise £1071.48 / day.

                    Wonder why it pays so highly? The job isn't even London - it's somewhere in Wiltshire.
