Managing Electronic Records: A Practical Guide for Success
Date: Thursday, April 13, 2006
(All DaySeminar - ARMA Gaithersburg, MD Spring Seminar)
Location: University of Maryland Shady Grove Conference Center, 9630
Gudelsky Drive, Rockville, MD
Speaker: Jim Coulson, CRM, Managing Director, Huron Consulting Group,
Boston, MA
Session Outline: This day-long seminar will address four critical
components for developing and implementing a successful enterprise
electronic records management solution:
Organizational Change Management. This change requires senior
management vision and support. It also requires strategy, policy, communication,
and decentralized responsibility that ensures buy-in and accountability
at all levels of the organization. It must be balanced by sufficient
professional resources and reporting lines to move the organization
toward compliance within an explicit timetable. Learn how this is done.
Practical Organizational Standards. International, domestic, and local
governmental agencies and standards bodies have provided many model
standards for the management of electronic records. However, it is the
responsibility of every organization to adapt and adopt a documented
version of these standards for their own use. From these standards, the
organization documents its specifications for software tools and supporting
processes. Learn what this process looks like and how to use the
resulting standards and specifications effectively to manage vendors,
budgets, and even internal requests for new software tools.
Appropriate Software Tools. Is it naive to seek a single software
deployment that will address all electronic systems in an organization
wherever electronic records are found? In this part of the program, the
various vendor tools will be reviewed for the most popular electronic
environments with a discussion of their relative strengths. The discussion
will include how to select viable tool alternatives and prepare and
evaluate an RFP.
Practical Deployment, Implementation, and Ongoing Maintenance. Share
lessons learned with a seasoned professional on: how to integrate
electronic records management with IT goals, objectives, and infrastructure;
how to persuade end users to not only use, but value, the new system;
and how to set in place the new roles and responsibilities that will
ensure the long term success of the program.
