I missed eReg. A lot.
Having been pampered by the solid filing system at old workplace, it is a struggle at new workplace trying to track down historical data/records/decisions etc. Folks were commenting that they have in place a filing system, comprising shared drive and online posts.
Wait till they see eReg. =_=
Keeping approved documents (e.g. word documents, excel spreadsheets, powerpoint slides) in the shared drive is not filing. The shared drive is merely a repository of documents, provided people diligently saved the approved and not drafts in there.
Filing system goes beyond saving documents. It should keep records of correspondences that deliberated on how decisions were made. End state is important but so is the process. With the move towards knowledge management, comprehensive filing system is crucial in ensuring the smooth functioning of the organisation.
I am surprised that the IT folks have yet to recognise this.
Sigh.
