For the Record: Po-Mo is the future of the past

News from our Dutch cousins. I was on a training course in Utrecht recently and there was a discussion about buying criteria for Electronic Records Management (ERM) systems. There was the usual conversation about cost control, better governance, risk and compliance etc etc. You know the kind of thing.

Then one of the Dutch guys (from an unnamed public sector org) said his boss had laid down as criteria... it must be post-modern! A stunning idea and one I cannot wait to see the procurement guys get to grips with. Given that ERM deals largely with yesterday's content, such a futuristic ask may be a stretch too far.
