What are the records management procurement/pre-implementation activities?
Agencies will need to develop/procure fundamental records management tools to ensure their EDRMS implementation: • meets their business and legislative requirements • meets the Adequate Records Management Standard 2002, and • mitigates the risk of inadequate records management. Please refer to the EDRMS Procurement and Pre-implementation Guideline for a complete checklist of records management requirements. Examples of records management tools required for implementation include: • an independent Assessment Report of current recordkeeping practices using the Adequate Records Management Improvement Matrix and Evidence Toolkit • a Strategic Records Management Plan • a business classification scheme • a functional thesaurus based on the business classification scheme to classify all records, and • a Records Disposal Schedule (RDS) approved by State Records Council.
