IBM FileNet Records Manager - Cost Effective Electronic Records Management: An Assessment

Given the ever-increasing growth of litigation, investigations and regulatory actions coupled with the explosive growth of electronic records, automation of an organization’s records management policies, processes and business practices is no longer an option; it is now a necessity.

Electronic Records Management Systems (RMSs) have been available for nearly ten years. However, they have not been adopted or implemented at the anticipated level of success because the process of declaring and classifying records has been largely manual. To facilitate the adoption of needed new records management systems, all manual operating costs associated with the system’s use and operation must be minimized.

IBM FileNet Records Manager was designed with the goal of automating as much of the declaration and classification process as possible. FileNet Records Manager’ approach – called “FileNet ZeroClick” – is to tightly integrate the automation of records declaration, classification and administration functions with business and document lifecycle management processes.

This white paper provides Cohasset Associates’ assessment of FileNet Records Manager software and associated products with regard to the capabilities these products provide for improving the effectiveness and efficiency of managing electronic records. Cohasset believes that IBM’s approach provides one of the greatest opportunities to fully justify the cost effective management of electronic records by commercial and public entities.
