Having made it home from the office, I have given a bit of thought about how
much of a jump it is from determining how best (ROI, etc.) to operate a
records management program, including whether or not to scan/dispose of
permitted originals to counsel's worry over which judge may preside over
some possible case at some unknown date and time.  That sounds more like a
discovery/production consideration.

As for designing my records management program/tools I think a broader long
term look is in order.

SHOULD source materials be scanned and what does it entail?

Here's another issue:  whatever permissions granted in statute at any level
(for either governmental or non-governmental organisations), some judges are
not comfortable with images created by scanning and indexing paper records. 

Attorneys who think they may be dealing with such judges will insist on
keeping the paper.

You may think this reaction irrational, but it's really a matter of
self-protection:  nobody wants to irritate the judge.

Best regards,
