One way to do this is to get into an advising role with IT and Procurement
so that when new technologies that manage information are selected for
procurement, RM gets to participate in the selection. Unfortunately this
takes some very early concensus building with IT, Procurement, etc. So the
time to start is now .....

Hello List serve,
I am a long time lurker, infrequent contributor to the list. I may be a
little late on the voicemail/texting thread, but it is a compelling
discussion that I just had to get into!
I wanted to share that there are applications available that can be
downloaded to employees individual cell phones that allow them to access
company e-mail on their own phone. Check out Good Mobile Messaging. I
don't know if it captures texts, but it does allows employees to conduct
business via their own device. It sits behind your firewall and encrypts
data in transit and data stored on the device.
I think the use of personal cell phones is a trend we will continue to see.
As this next generation enters the workforce - they will expect the use of
the technologies they grew up with (my 16 year old niece is never apart from
her blackberry!). Smart phones can accommodate the need, and as we all
experience tight budgets, it will be cheaper for IT to let staff use and pay
for their own device, rather than purchase devices for them.
I tend to agree with those on the list that believe that as Records Managers
we cannot block advances in technology, but rather have to partner with IT
in such a way as to ensure that Records needs are met when technology is
selected.
These are just my thoughts, and not necessarily representative of the
organization that employs me....
