OBS' i5 Records Management Software, Including FileTrail for SharePoint, Meets EDRMS Requirements

/EINPresswire.com/ OBS' i5 Electronic Records Management and i5 Physical Records Management solutions, FileTrail for SharePoint, meet the South Australian Government EDRMS requirements.

When used in tandem, the i5 Electronic Records Management and i5 Physical Records Management solutions, FileTrail for SharePoint, have been evaluated as meeting the Electronic Document and Records Management System (EDRMS) requirements established for the South Australian Government.

The South Australian Government amended its approach to EDRMS in August 2009 by disbanding its Panel of Products arrangement and allowing alternate products to be procured. As of 1st August 2009, the South Australian Government requires that all EDRMS procured after this date is required to meet the State Records minimum compliance requirements in addition to the agency's own business requirements.

In January of this year, following a rigorous evaluation and testing process, the i5 Records Management Software for Microsoft SharePoint, including FileTrail for SharePoint, was officially certified as meeting all functional and technical requirements as an 'off-the-shelf' solution without significant customisation.

Desmond Russell, i5 Software Product Manager says; "OBS see this as a significant achievement that will give Government agencies the confidence and opportunity to better leverage their investment in Microsoft SharePoint even further by using a true and compliant EDRMS platform. OBS is committed to transforming the way businesses use the Microsoft SharePoint platform to fulfil their information management and compliance needs. Ensuring we are able to fully support State-specific compliance requirements is a win for government agencies using SharePoint right across Australia."

For an EDRMS to be procured in South Australia by a State Government agency, it is a mandatory requirement that the solution:
-is released in the Australian market, and is fully functional in at least one customer organisation located in Australia
-is currently supported in the Australian market by the supplier
-provides a complete solution, not a partial solution
-is compliant with all five specifications of VERS Version 2
-meets 100% of the functional and technical requirements, as an 'off-the-shelf' solution without significant customisation
-captures and maintains all of the mandatory recordkeeping metadata elements, in accordance with SARKMS, as a permanent record

The recognition from South Australian government that i5 Software meets the EDRMS requirements opens the door for other government agencies with Microsoft SharePoint to access a compliant records management solution that can easily be tailored for their needs.
