E-raamat: Implementing Electronic Document and Record Management Systems [Taylor & Francis e-raamat]

IT consultant Adam explains how to create and employ electronic document and records management systems (EDRMS) so that organizations can efficiently store and access electronic documents. Drawing heavily on his experiences in public sector organizations in the UK, he discusses the rationale for electronic rather than paper records, and outlines steps for implementing a successful system, from idea through implementation and ongoing support for the project. Coverage includes basics of EDRMS, standards and legislation, and eight major individual components of a system, such as electronic document types, search and retrieval, e-mail management, and remote access, as well as software platforms and hardware considerations. The author also discusses how to manage the organizational culture change that must accompany implementation. Nine case studies demonstrate best practices in healthcare and municipal government. A glossary and a list of software vendors are included. The readership for the book includes IT managers, project managers, and business analysts. The book is distributed in the US by Taylor & Francis. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

The global shift toward delivering services online requires organizations to evolve from using traditional paper files and storage to more modern electronic methods. There has however been very little information on just how to navigate this change-until now. Implementing Electronic Document and Record Management Systems explains how to efficiently store and access electronic documents and records in a manner that allows quick and efficient access to information so an organization may meet the needs of its clients.

The book addresses a host of issues related to electronic document and records management systems (EDRMS). From starting the project to systems administration, it details every aspect in relation to implementation and management processes. The text also explains managing cultural changes and business process re-engineering that organizations undergo as they switch from paper-based records to electronic documents. It offers case studies that examine how various organizations across the globe have implemented EDRMS.

While the task of creating and employing an EDRMS may seem daunting at best, Implementing Electronic Document and Record Management Systems is the resource that can provide you with the direction and guidance you need to make the transition as seamless as possible.
