Introduction


SPRM Turns ThreeThis month marks the third anniversary of the launch of this blog and those of us at SPRM want to take a moment to express our thanks to all of you who have been loyal readers and contributors. 

Looking forward, we are all very excited about the future of SharePoint-based records and information management, which has come a long way since we first started reporting on it three short years ago. 

With the release of SharePoint 2010 last year (and the subsequent release of a few key partner add-on applications), the ‘Holy Grail’ of enterprise records management – one solution providing true enterprise integrated information lifecycle management – is now a reality. 

We believe the next few years will prove to be a whirlwind of change throughout the industry.  One that will mark the transition from disorganized silos of valuable, desperate organizational content to an environment of effective and efficient information management that will help organizations grow and thrive for many years to come.

Again, thank you all for your support and we look forward to hearing from each of you…

Cheers,

Don

My good friend, Mimi Dionne, at CMSWire was kind enough to interview me recently about managing records in SharePoint.  I’m not sure I said anything that I haven’t said on this site before, but if you are interested in finding out what I’m like on the other side of the microphone for a change, you can find the interview here.

First BirthdayWe just want to take a quick moment to pat ourselves on the back.  The SharePoint Records Management blog just passed its first birthday.  That means for over a hundredth of a century we have provided a ridiculous amount of information about an extremely narrow subject to a very limited number of people.  We couldn’t have done it without you, our loyal readers.  We’d like to personally thank you both.

seagullI’ve recently gotten a couple of comments I think I should, well, comment on.  A few readers (not many, but a few) have posted comments critical of SharePoint in particular and Microsoft in general.  I have chosen not to approve these comments for publication.  This is not because I want to censor what these readers have to say or because I disagree with some of their concerns with Microsoft.  I just don’t want to turn this blog into a forum for people who think Microsoft is the greatest company ever versus people who think Microsoft is the spawn of Satan.  (For what it’s worth, there are already plenty of sites dedicated to the latter group.  A quick check of Google will hook you up in no time.)

I sincerely hope everyone continues to read this blog and participates frequently.  If I don’t post your comments, please don’t take it personally, I just don’t believe they fit into the narrowly defined parameters of this blog. 

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming…

Due to overwhelming demand (OK, really just one guy), I’ve installed an RSS feed for this blog.  You can set it up by clicking on the RSS icon on the right hand sidebar under ‘Subscribe’. 

Let me know if you have any problems.
