AC+erm Project Outputs 

 

AC+erm ('Accelerating Positive Change in electronic records management')
is a Northumbria University project aiming to investigate and critically
explore issues and practical strategies in managing electronic records.
Its focus is on designing an organisation-centred architecture from
three perspectives: people, processes, and systems and technology. 

 

Informed by a systematic literature review, investigation is based on a
combination of e-Delphi studies and face-to-face colloquia involving a
mix of experts, disciplines and recordkeeping stakeholders. The Delphi
studies gather primary data from selected participants (~20 people) and
develop a picture of 'expert opinion' on each facet (People, Processes,
and Systems and Technology). Their electronic form enables anonymous and
geographically wide participation.

To date, the first two e-Delphi studies-for the People and Process
facets of the investigation-have been carried out. The current Delphi,
in respect of the Systems and Technology facet, is now almost completed.
Though not all of the data contained in the participant responses has
yet been analysed, we are able to make some of the results available in
interim form.

 

 

(a) Interim findings from the Systems and Technology Facet e-Delphi
Study

 

Participants in the Delphi study identified, explored and clarified the
issues in three rounds of questions and a final exercise (in progress)
in which solutions arrived at in previous rounds are evaluated by a
number of set criteria. 

 

The outputs now available from the Delphi Study are:

 

All rounds - list of questions for participants [link

Round 2 - ranking of issues in terms of urgency/importance (graphs and
tables) [link
<http://www.northumbria.ac.uk/static/5007/ceispdf/te1r2_an.pdf> ]

Round 3 - summary of solutions [link

(b) Systematic Literature Review - Sources relating to systems and
technology

 

This Delphi Study was-like the previous two studies-informed by the
results of the Systematic Literature Review (SLR).

 

The details and content summaries of sources from the SLR prepared for
the systems and technology Delphi are now available on our website at
http://www.northumbria.ac.uk/sd/academic/ceis/re/isrc/themes/rmarea/erm/

The document is entitled 'Interim Analysis Technology Issues 2009.04'
[Link <http://www.northumbria.ac.uk/static/5007/ceispdf/Interim4.pdf> ]

 

The analysis contains synopses of more than 200 sources, grouped under a
variety of categories and sub-headings.
