I suggest you have a look at Designing and implementing recordkeeping 
systems (DIRKS) which can be found either at:

http://www.records.nsw.gov.au/recordkeeping/dirks-manual_4226.asp
http://www.naa.gov.au/records-management/publications/DIRKS-manual.aspx

DIRKS is an IT methodology which can be used to achieve a number of 
outcomes. For example you can look at your business processes and 
document these. You can look at your records management systems and 
undertake an analysis to replace the system. If you have some good IT 
people undertaking a full architecture study then I would suggest you 
find out what methodology they are using and see if you can map it to 
DIRKS. This methodology can be used to look more broadly than 
records, and in fact it can be used to do a full study of information 
within your organisation.

If you require more details please contact me off the list.
