Archive Builders reviews existing document imaging systems operation for the controls and procedures needed to meet the standard of reasonable care of records. Systems are also reviewed to see if the systems could benefit from a technology refresh. The typical Archive Builders client is seeking to make their records management program more computer intensive. Our clients are also planning to take advantage of advances in document imaging and reductions in the cost of computer imaging hardware. Clients served have been in the areas of engineering, municipal government, commercial records management, education, biotechnology, natural resources, and manufacturing.
Records management requires a long view of the system life cycle.
During the life of a document, the records management system controlling the document may change more than once. The volume of records stored requires that changes be carefully planned long in advance of implementation. It is even more difficult to identify media and formats that will be useable over the life of the documents in the care of a records management system. Archive Builders provides insight into ways to minimize these risks. Our educational services for managers span the continuum from management to operation to technical services and from a quick overview to a twelve week course to a multi-year project.
