http://www.armamar.org/gmd/Seminar_2006/managing_elec_records.htm
Date: Thursday, April 13, 2006
(All DaySeminar - ARMA Gaithersburg, MD Spring Seminar)
Now Pre-Approved for 6 CRM Credits!!
Location: University of Maryland Shady Grove Conference Center,
9630 Gudelsky Drive, Rockville, MD
Speaker: Jim Coulson, CRM, Managing Director, Huron Consulting
Group, Boston, MA
Session Outline: This day-long seminar will address four critical
components for developing and implementing a successful enterprise
electronic records management solution:
Organizational Change Management. This change requires senior
management vision and support. It also requires strategy, policy,
communication, and decentralized responsibility that ensures buy-in
and accountability at all levels of the organization. It must be
balanced by sufficient professional resources and reporting lines to
move the organization toward compliance within an explicit timetable.
Learn how this is done.
Practical Organizational Standards. International, domestic, and
local governmental agencies and standards bodies have provided many
model standards for the management of electronic records. However, it
is the responsibility of every organization to adapt and adopt a
documented version of these standards for their own use. From these
standards, the organization documents its specifications for software
tools and supporting processes. Learn what this process looks like
and how to use the resulting standards and specifications effectively
to manage vendors,budgets, and even internal requests for new
software tools.
Appropriate Software Tools. Is it naive to seek a single software
deployment that will address all electronic systems in an
organization wherever electronic records are found? In this part of
the program, the various vendor tools will be reviewed for the most
popular electronic environments with a discussion of their relative
strengths. The discussion will include how to select viable tool
alternatives and prepare and evaluate an RFP.
Practical Deployment, Implementation, and Ongoing Maintenance. Share
lessons learned with a seasoned professional on: how to integrate
electronic records management with IT goals, objectives, and
infrastructure; how to persuade end users to not only use, but value,
the new system; and how to set in place the new roles and
responsibilities that will ensure the long term success of the
program.
