Hi Nolene.......

It is my understanding that SharePoint 2010 has addressed many of the 
issues that RIM professionals had in version 2008.  That being said, and I 
am not a SharePoint user, I've read a lot lately that SharePoint is being 
used in collaboration with CMS like OmniRIM.  You may find that SharePoint 
works with all the major CMS vendors and a collaboration between the two 
satisfies the requirements of most RIM professionals.

What software are you using to manage your paper now?  You may find that 
you can continue to use what you have in collaboration with SharePoint and 
one of the major CMS vendors.  I do know that Iron Mountain bought out 
some software vendor and I believe it was Accutrac.  So, of course they 
are pushing this software. 

My recommendation would be to find a CMS which would meet the needs of 
your organization and then in turn, see if they work together with 
SharePoint and your existing system. 

The Aiim.org website is a great research source and specifically have a 
great deal of material on SharePoint.  Be sure to check them out.

Accutrac vs OmniRIM







It looks like our company is forging ahead with SharePoint 2010 as a 
widespread collaboration tool and for document repositories. I still 
have not decided (or seen enough to decide) whether it can be a full- 
fledged ECM, but Microsoft keeps trying to persuade me.

In the demonstrations we have had, SP still comes up very short in 
managing paper records. As a result of my requirements, MS is 
presenting us with a demo using OmniRIM in collaboration with 
SharePoint. I'm not sure if they are MS's preferred vendor for that 
missing piece or just one of several MS Partners. Nonetheless, if we 
are going to look at third-party add ins for paper records, I also 
wanted to look at Accutrac mostly because Iron Mountain is our 
preferred storage vendor and it supposedly integrates directly with 
their systems so I can bypass using IM Connect. (Don't get me started 
on that useless ...... well Iron Mountain knows exactly how I feel 
about that so-called software, to the point of almost being a running 
joke. But I digress.)

I'd like to hear any opinions or experiences with either software.
