What every Manager Needs to Know About Recordkeeping

Most Managers understand the pressing need to manage electronic records, but lack the understanding of the science and software technologies of recordkeeping to implement an actual real-world solution. Attend this session to understand the language, fundamental principles, and methods of modern recordkeeping, the principles and techniques of electronic recordkeeping, and learn about a new state-of-the-art roadmap for implementing electronic records software technology. This session is presented by Bruce Miller, widely considered the inventor of modern electronic recordkeeping technology. Based on 15 years of experience with e-records technology around the world, this session will help the Manager understand and confidently implement electronic recordkeeping solutions. During the session, participants will apply the concepts learned to a hypothetical 10,000 user project.

Participants will learn about a software modeling tool for use in managing electronic recordkeeping projects, along with a classroom-completed case study in a hypothetical 10,000 user implementation project in a Sharepoint-based work environment.
