As part of a recent industry presentation I did, I created a ‘wishlist’ of records management functionality I hope to see included in Office 14 SharePoint when it’s released at the end of the year. This list is by no means comprehensive and the inclusion of these features would not necessarily mean Office 14 SharePoint is a perfect records management solution. (Conversely, if functionality on this list is not part of Office 14, that won’t necessarily mean it’s an insufficient solution.)
Anyway, here’s what I came up with:
- Mulit-level file plan
- Unique expiration and disposition throughout each level of the file plan
- Significantly enhanced email records functionality (with Outlook client add-on)
- Expunge functionality
- Hierarchical file plan representation
- Out-of-the-box metadata based classification
- Access to records from document workspaces
- Unique and persistent record identifiers
- E-discovery beyond the Records Center
What do you think? Have I left anything out?
