We have benefited by having our own software to check against the
vendor's list, which we request occasionally. There have been
discrepancies that we were able to clear up (boxes we expected to be
there but were not and vice versa). The vendor list is definitely
lacking as they automated and placed inconsistent descriptions into new
fields for reporting. We didn't worry about the correcting their
inaccuracies since we have better descriptions in our software. We use
Interwoven Records Manager as a stand-alone application to track our
active folder circulation and off-site records using barcodes. It's
worked well for us.

Subject: Re: [RM] Tracking your inactive records.

My company uses our own RM software system, to track and manage our 
inactive off-site records.  We have an interface between the system and 
IMConnect to automate all of our transactions.  Automated transactions 
include ordering supplies, cheking in/out records, and creating pick up 
orders.  Previously we used a vendor supplied tracking program and I
would 
never recommend it.  The problem is the vendor owns your information and
if 
you want changes made you have to pay to update your information.

We are currently in the pilot stage of Filenet Records Manager to manage

our electronic records.
