Guidance sort on best approaches to file structures and nice to haves now and later. I agree with comments on costs and failure to meets users requirements.

My great concern is that the EDRMS train has already left the station. The train cost a fortune to build. You and Steve Bailey are making very sound sense but you are also trying to stop a fast moving train, that we all know is going to crash. Good post!

Ask around at the said local authority and they will be less than complementary about the process, project or software implemented - 'Wisdom' was perfect Orwellian double speak for the whole thing! The inside track ...

I agree with one of the comments above, in that we should question the micro management approach to all documents created or received by business users. Most people will get used to a new piece of kit, but it is often the configuration and governance choices which stick in people's throats and actually create further problems.

That monstrosity stores documents in the file system, with all workflowing being scripted in files called 1.scr, 2.scr etc which have to be edited manually, and with the clunkiest web interface ever seen. Please rid the world (and some of my working life) of utter, utter rubbish like that trainwreck. Having seen the “enterprise level” Hummingbird R/KYV EDRMS, it may be easier than you think.

I work at an Archives Institution. We are replacing the application that tracks the physical location of archival material, space management and accessioning(data entry). I've been asked to see if software from a Tower, OpenSoft (and similar Records Management companies) could handle tracking, space management and data entry. Has anyone seen any articles about where records management succeeds/falls short when used to to archives management work? If anyone has any comments (who is not part of one of these record management software companies, I'd be delighted to hear from them.) Thank-you. This is a good article.
