Records and Document Management -

[TheFaQQer]

Looks like expertise in Meridio can pay extremely well. Jobserve have just sent me 3 different ads for the same "Meridio Consultant" contract today: one agent is quoting £600-£1100 / day, one quoting £750-£1000 / day, and one quoting an ultra-precise £1071.48 / day.

Wonder why it pays so highly? The job isn't even London - it's somewhere in Wiltshire.

Gosh - security cleared job, in Wiltshire, doing Meridio.

I wonder who it could be

I once got a gig to PM a Sharepoint project by being the only person they spoke to who asked why they were using it for document management as it was a collaboration tool, everyone else tried to sell it to them

I agree, but it is being used as such by two of my recent big clients, including the one beginning with "M" !

Trust M to use their own software in a way it wasn't meant to be used!

Right now we're all waiting on TNA to pull their finger out and develop a schema for migrating across different e-RM systems.

Migrating across different e-RM systems is a pain.

I don't think Sharepoint is meant to be used as a doc management system...

Sharepoint is not great for document management.

Here it will be used as a collaboration tool which interfaces into an e-RM system that is also being rolled out.

Haha, that's gonna happen here I think. Right now we are a quarter way into an e-RM rollout, but they now want Sharepoint too.

Oh god, I've got sucked into a Sharepoint roll-out...

A Record is something that is finalised and that is not subject to change in the near future. A Document is subject to change and can eventually become a Record.

There are e-RM systems like Meridio that often work with increasingly popular collaboration systems like Sharepoint, but a e-RM system and a collaboration system are not the same things.

[DaveB]

Records are a historical archive, document management involves current documents that are subject to change.

Not that records don't need managing, but not in the same way.

Whats the difference ?

anybody provide examples.
