Open Source Talk

Welcome to another Alfresco Open Source podcast. I have with me today Carlos Miguens who drove our Records Management strategy that led to the recent DoD 5015.2 certification and headlines like:

“Pentagon certifies Alfresco records management app”

What this podcast is about is Records Management in “Plain English” and the Top 10 Records Management Terms”.

• Historically Records Management has been  very complex and very specialized. In Plain English What is Records Management?
• Why is Records Management important and why has it become more important recently?
• Who needs to uses Records Management?
• I remember us talking about a recent AIIM survey on the state of Records Management. Can you summarize that for us?
• What happens if a company does not have effective Records Management?

Records Management is riddled with complex terms. I’d like you to describe a few in plain English for us This is my Records Management Plain English Top 10:

1. Audit Trail
2. Authenticity
3. Disposition
4. Disposition Instruction
5. File Plan
6. Freeze
7. Life Cycle
8. Record
9. Record Identifier
10. Retention Period

• What were the primary goals of Alfresco with regards to Records Management?
• What is DoD 5015.2 and what is the significance of it?
• What other standards are there and what are Alfresco’s plans there?

Thank you for listening
