This is a revision of an email I sent to a colleague. Some names will be redacted because I’m not sure if they would like to be posted here. K, I’m sharing this with Mark Patrick at Joint Staff because he’s a smart guy and may have some good stuff to say. He lives ECMRead… Read more »
It has started in earnest. Two weeks notice of really short deadlines that depend on a multitude of people to have a small chance of meeting. Why is it that we basically close down government every September (now creeping into August) to deal with book balancing and bureaucracy? Why can’t we do this stuff yearRead… Read more »
Because the various agencies of the Department of Defense were unable to come to agreement on the requirements and implementation of an updated Joint Command and Control capability, NECC has been canceled and funding directed towards the various Global Command and Control System silos. “Due to the unwillingness of the Services and others to agreeRead… Read more »
I had an interesting conversation with two very intelligent and motivated gentlemen yesterday morning to discuss the focus and purpose of DoD 5015.02-STD. That is a series of blog posts itself. Bumper Stickers At the end of the conversation, Mark mentioned that if we (Records Managers) can link into the current buzz over Knowledge Management,Read… Read more »

I’ve had a security clearance for most of my adult life. I’m a card carrying conservative (fiscally anyhow.) But the questions are soRead… Read more »
I’ve wondered why I am passionate about testing and record keeping. They are not two disciplines that seem to fit together. Lately, I’ve been reading and thinking and bouncing ideas off people I admire, and thinking some more. I’m not done thinking, but felt compelled to share the jelly. The discussion about identifying and capturingRead… Read more »
We are very flexible in supporting vendors’ methods for collaborating and coordinating a successful compliance test. Usually this is via email with massive CC lists or worse, everything is filtered through one person. Lately, I am finding that vendor wikis are a very good collaboration tool. When we can contribute on their wiki, email isRead… Read more »
As we go through the experiences of collaborating to allow successful compliance testing of a vendor’s product, we also gather information that is used to determine what should be included as the standard evolves. Our goal is to not make RM a stand-alone niche or to stand passively by while technology roars ahead. We wantRead… Read more »
I just read a tweet that pointed to a blog post that sent me sort of sideways… @parapadakis: Is it a record? Who cares? http://tinyurl.com/kv9bxl #ECM #edrms #compliance I’ve had a chance to think a little more about this and realize that @parapadakis is trying to start a discussion and not a fight 😀 PleaseRead… Read more »
