Introduction
• Opportunity to be the pilot faculty
• TRIM already in use by central divisions
• Means we can adapt TRIM to best suite our needs
• Staff consultation will/has occurred
• Input from staff about ways to improve practices
www.monash.edu.au

Background
• Currently no consistent record management process in place
• A lot of important files stored on desktops (fire/theft an issue)
• We duplicate our records
• We print and hold onto hard copies – sometimes in multiple places
www.monash.edu.au

Benefits
• Reduce staff workload
• Ensure everything can be found
• Everything is backed up
• Reduces duplication (central division files eg student records)
• Increase use of network drives and standarised filing systems
• Provides succession when staff moved jobs
• Potential long term benefits like version control/workflow
www.monash.edu.au

Challenges
• In order to recognise the benefits outlined people must adopt the system
• Communication (eg professional staff innovation day)
• Staff training will be provided
• Must meet the needs of all education users
• Work with University Wide users to get access (eg things like contracts)
• It is a cultural shift in the way we operate

Key Findings
• Widespread duplication of documents in multiple locations
• Inefficiencies in sharing documents • Poor version control• Inconsistent ways of organising the same information• Inability to find documents• Unnecessary retention of some documents• Large amounts of hardcopy & legacy information
www.monash.edu.au
17
Actions Required
• The development of faculty guidelines, practices and processes for managing and storing information
• Adoption of TRIM to store finalised records and emails• The use of network drives and the establishment of a folder
hierarchy that is consistent with the eRMS file plan• The creation of guidelines which identify what type of
information should be kept, in what format and where• Undertake an archiving and disposal project (for some historical
documents)• Consider allocating some resources to the project for 2009
beyond the central funding period.
