I am new to the records arena and our company has upgraded to the 
Versatile Enterprise edition from Versatile Professional.  As our company 
is a subcontractor for a DOE site, we are in a unique situation in terms 
of Email.  We don't own the email process as another subcontractor on the 
site does it.  Yet we needed a way to capture emails for records purposes 
as we are doing far more business with DOE thru the email process. 
Versatile Enterprise ERMS allows us to capture those emails that we need 
in a relatively easy and painless way.  Our company has not rolled out the 
program to the rest of the company as our dept.  is still learning about 
how to implement the new software.  As I have a small technical background 
in computers, I was assigned to learn about all the bells and whistles of 
this new program.  I will say that I really like the Enterprise edition 
much better than the professional edition as it gives the record manager 
more versatility over all the information and setup of records, retention 
schedules and the handling of electronic records.  The tech support has 
been "johnny on the spot" for just about all my questions so far and they 
are very serious about making sure their software is compatible with other 
software.  I do recommend that you run Windows XP with 1GB of memory over 
running Windows 2000.  Once my computer was upgraded to XP, I no longer 
had any problems with software resouce conflicts.  Sorry, but I don't know 
anything about the other software but I believe Zasio should be at the 
AIIM conference in Boston, March 3-6.  It was there that I found out they 
could help us with email records.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Legal Research Software Programs






We are considering the purchase of  the "Legal Requirements for Business
Records" software program from IRM (Information Requirements
Clearinghouse).  (This is the legal research tool for retention 
schedules.)
Today when reading the latest ARMA Information Management Journal I saw an
advertisement for Versatile Retention by Zasio.  I have visited their
website and I was wondering how the two programs compare.

My questions for the list are:

1.  Has anyone had any experience with either product that they would care
to share.  (On or off the list)

2.  Does anyone know how the two products differ and how they are alike?

3.  What is your experience with ease of use for either or both?

4.  What is your opinion of the completeness of the legal database for
either or both?

Any information from the kind people on this list would be very helpful.

Thanks very much.
