Records Mgmt & Archiving

"Mergers, Acquisitions, Divestitures and Closures: Records and
Information Management Checklists", a study by John T. Phillips, CRM,
FAI, CDIA+, and CDIA


Abstract

Revised and updated with new research, this report continues to focus on
a major problem for the RIM community.  As Executives form Merger and
Acquisition teams, Due Diligence processes are initiated, business
consultants are retained, and Legal Counsel becomes involved, the
Corporate RIM Program must reach out to accomplish new record keeping
objectives while working within constrained resources and time frames.
The goal of this report is to provide a ready reference that can serve
as a starting point for Records Managers and their Programs in
discussions of the record keeping challenges that will arise. By
exploring issues in advance of problems occurring, organizations will be
able to assure that records required for quality decision-making and
long-term retention are identified and properly preserved.

A variety of functional specifications for records management software has been developed in the international community. In 2006, the International Council on Archives agreed to develop a harmonised, generic suite of recordkeeping functional requirements for software products based on existing jurisdiction-specific specifications, and to do so in a manner consistent with the International Standard on Records Management, ISO 15489. It is hoped that this suite of guidelines and functional requirements will assist jurisdictions that are developing, or looking to adopt, their own functional specifications, as well as inform the update and revision of previously existing standards.
