What is In-Place Records Management?

In-place records management is when a “best of breed” records management tool can be used to manage the content of a variety of repositories across the enterprise, without relocating the content to the records management database.

The Challenge

Investors and regulators have called for stronger legislation and penalties for incidents of corporate fraud. Today’s increased pressure for oversight has elevated the visibility and significance of records management, yet content is scattered across the enterprise in a variety of repositories. With all these isolated silos of content, an obvious solution would be to consolidate to a single repository. Consolidation has proven to be largely an unattainable goal because different applications have their own strengths and weaknesses and specific departmental solutions gain a foothold. In addition, mergers and acquisitions introduce new repositories into the organization.

The PathBuilder Solution

PathBuilder specifically addresses an organization’s need to integrate disparate content repositories with a single records management policy engine by creating a gateway to various repositories. Once connected, PathBuilder allows organizations to manage and control all of their records-class content through one centralized records management application.

By extending a records management solution with PathBuilder a broad range of records management use cases can be supported including declare and classify, record migration, discovery, holds and disposition.

Including PathBuilder in the records management solution allows organizations to:

Leave records in their native content repositories, replicate managed records into a central repository or consolidate into a single repository.
Manage recordkeeping policies, retention schedules and disposition across multiple repositories from a single application.
Perform a single federated search across multiple repositories.
Apply disposition and hold order policies consistently across all records and repositories.
Leverage legacy content management systems and business applications
