Lourdes:

If it is truly only a file cabinet's worth you are trying to manage, I
wouldn't spend the money to buy any of those.  That's using a tractor
trailer to go down to the corner 7-11 for a Slurpee(r).  I'd create a manual
process and design some forms that support it.  If you MUST buy some
technology, look for something inexpensive that you can apply elsewhere.

If, on the other hand, you are using this to get a tool for the entire
organization, figure out what you need/want for the entire organization and
then look at products.

Good day all!  My department has inherited managing contract/agreement
records for our company.  We got a file cabinet full of documents (originals
and copies) and now we have to organize them and document a process for
creating, reviewing and filing these contracts.  We have started to look at
some products to help us with this (Hummingbird, Documentum, Accutrac).

I'd like to get feedback from you folks on how you are handling this
function.
