Features and benefits
IBM® Records Manager builds upon sound recordkeeping and brings an application-enabling engine approach to e-records management. It provides one central location for record classification and retention policies. It is a solution for organizations that need to:
improve management controls over both electronic and physical records
apply retention and disposition management to electronic and physical information
The tools and modules let customers and Business Partners:
apply complete lifecycle management to information assets.
apply records management consistently in a manner that is non-intrusive to current business practices and IT environments and
deliver a single e-records solution integrated across multiple applications -- including IBM® and non-IBM systems and Windows® and non-Windows applications.
Unique strengths include:
the engine approach which e-records enables applications without installing a desktop records management application.
Recordkeeping Methods Modeling (RMM) for easy adoption across business models or geographic specific methods -- unlike traditional records management applications (RMAs) which generally have a fixed model and must be modified for unique recordkeeping methods. Also unlike most RMA's, the Records Manager engine does not store or extract records from the host business application. It applies retention and disposition rules to the documents within the host business application's repository, ensuring the security of the document is not disturbed.
localization which allows the look and feel of the Web Administration Client to be modified without any programming. Simplified customization allows easy inclusion of custom extensions such as customer specific error messages.
the Web-based design.
design for large-scale implementation.
suitability for software vendors who may seek US DoD 5015.2 certification for their application software. By embedding Records Manager into their business software, a software product maker can achieve certification to the 5015.2 standard or their own proprietary standard.
