Is Skeuomorphism Holding Back The Evolution Of Records Management
Technology? | Forrester Blogs

Since joining Forrester this year, I’ve had the opportunity to get briefed
on the RM offerings of many ECM and information governance vendors, and
with just a few exceptions, there are some unmistakable common threads I
see across products. Top of that list? A user experience that has lifted
the paradigm of paper and plopped it on top of an electronic records
repository.

   - We “file” our digitally composed content into virtual containers that
   have icons shaped like the beige manila folders we once purchased by the
   carton.
   - We click on miniature silver garbage cans to indicate items are ready
   for disposal. It’s a bit surreal to consider that clicking a picture of a
   shiny trash bin kicks off the sophisticated process of digital expunge –
   obliteration of the document at the file system level to prevent recovery
   by network admins – along with options to purge metadata or audit trails.
