We recently had an opportunity to speak with Brad Teed, Chief Technology Officer at GimmalSoft, the software product division of the Houston-based ECRM consultancy, Gimmal Group* about his company’s development of a native SharePoint 2010 records management solution that the company plans to submit for DoD 5015.2 certification testing later this year. SPRM: Brad, thanks [...]

I’ve stumbled across an interesting bug while trying to create a template for a Record Library in SharePoint 2010 and I couldn’t find it mentioned anywhere online.  This might be because it’s fairly obscure, but I thought it couldn’t hurt for me to throw it out there.  If you create a Record Library (or a [...]

So I’ve run into an interesting issue with setting up Records Libraries in SharePoint 2010 and I thought I would pass it along.  I would think that I could create a Records Center anywhere in a SharePoint 2010 site collection and create Records Libraries within the new Records Center without any difficulty.  And I would [...]

I recently completed the AIIM SharePoint Specialist Certificate online training and examination.  (This course is the next level up after the AIIM SharePoint Practitioner Certificate program I told you about in this previous post.)    As with the Practitioner course, I thought the Specialist course provided some excellent instruction on managing enterprise content and records [...]

This blog has always been focused on providing a fundamental understanding of managing records and information in a SharePoint environment, so I don’t typically like to get too deep into the technical aspects of SharePoint very often.  (And besides, isn’t that why you pay your System Administrators and SharePoint developers the mega-bucks?) However, the new [...]

It recently occurred to me that there seems to be some level of confusion around how a few fundamental SharePoint records management terms are defined.  This confusion may very well cause people challenges when trying to understand how SharePoint manages records and information.  With that in mind, I’ve compiled a short list of terms I [...]

This month marks the end of our second year of providing a ridiculous amount of information about an extremely narrow subject to a very limited number of people – making us unquestionably the number one island-themed SharePoint Records and Information Management blog on the internet.  We just want to take a brief moment to wish ourselves [...]

Without question, one of the most important new SharePoint 2010 features is ‘managed metadata’.  This is certainly true for SharePoint-based Records Management, but also true for Enterprise Content Management, Information Lifecycle Management and search optimization, as well.  Microsoft defines managed metadata as ‘a hierarchical collection of centrally managed terms that you can define and then [...]

So I just finished the new AIIM SharePoint Practitioner course.  I took it online, rather than in the two-day classroom training.  I have to tell you, I thought it was an excellent course.  There’s a clear ECM focus (this is AIIM, after all), but it’s really a very balance course, helping you understand what SharePoint [...]
