1. Depth of indexing and control

Once apon a time all documents (corro) were indexed (registered)
individually (in big leger books). Gradually this became unworkable so we
started indexing at the container (files) level. Now with technology we
can go back to indexing at the document level again (but far more
effectively)

2. Decentralisation (even within one building)

Once apon a time all documents came and went, internally and externally,
through a central registry. Now with email, fax and LAN's this is
impossible, impractical and undesirable, we have to adapt to a highly
decentralised environment, increasingly in RM we no longer DO things, we
set standards and policy, provide infrastructure and training, do QA etc.

3. and Larry has already mentioned the accessibility / transportability
challenge

Cheers

These views are mine alone. They may or may not be those of any
previous or present employers or clients. I don't know. If I'd asked
and they'd agreed, I would have signed it "Bloggs and Co and
Glenn". Or whatever. But I haven't, so I didn't.
