Wayne Hoff, CRM said
DoD 5015. It somehow became a de facto standard for records systems and got applied to countless organizations that needed nothing even close to the strictness required in the DoD.
Wayne, interesting observation. Back in 2003, I was looking at RMS options for my law firm. I wanted something that was DoD certified. Many colleagues in the Legal industry asked me why. "You don't do work for the Government. Why do you list the DoD standard for a law firm?"
My answer was always the same. There is only one standard out there. Why wouldn't I want a product that met that minimum standard? I also believed it added a lot of credibility to my sales pitch. We were deploying the first electronic records program in the firm's history.
So my [now] long answer is that I am part of the problem you describe. When an industry won't create standards for itself I guess we grasp for what we can find. It told me there were at the very least minimum levels of competency for the product I chose.
