Review of Information and Records Management Practices

ECM Scope can provide a benchmark assessment of your enterprise's present information and records management program and make recommendations for any changes that may be required.  If you don't have a program we can help you set up an information and records management strategy, policy and governance program to get started.

Benchmark assessments are based on industry standards and best practices such as the ISO 15489 standard, ARMA's Generally Accepted Recordkeeping Principles Maturity Model and other standards-based models.

Deliverables can include:

• An Information Governance Model
• Records Management / Electronic Mail Policy
• Retention Plans and File Plans along with associated processes for both digital and analog records
• An Electronically Stored Information (ESI) Map to support future e-discovery and audit activities

Your organization's present Records Retention Schedules can be reviewed for relevance and, if required, changes can be recommended

Information, Records Management and ECM Education

We can educate employees about information and records management processes and how they should be practiced and followed within your business environment.  We can also offer education on other ECM areas such as Business Process Management (BPM), E-mail Management, and Document Management

Records Management and ECM Tool Selection

In general, records management and other ECM tools should not be selected on a standalone basis and a wide variety of factors should be considered before implementing any product. ECM Scope can help your organization identify key information and records management processes, prioritize and narrow the scope of vendors that can serve your needs and help you create a realistic RFP to quickly choose the best product to fit your business needs.

All Consulting and Advisory Services are offered on either a retainer or project-oriented basis, depending on the needs of the client and scope of effort.
