While we still may not be able to meet in person for awhile, we still want you to feel connected to us. So we've created CollabCast! Once a week on Thursdays at 10:30am Pacific Time, we'll present a new topic where you'll be able to ask questions and a receive a copy of the show.

This week was all about solving physical records frustrations…

Currently, many organizations have an existing physical records system that may involve an Access database, Excel spreadsheet or a third-party stand-alone system that hasn’t been enhanced for years. These are costly and awkward to maintain, causing frustration for records managers around findability when needing to locate or circulate items. 

But physical records management does not have to be a spreadsheet nightmare! 

Join our CollabCast session! Our Records Management Analyst, Mia, will share obstacles she encountered at previous organizations, and how her day-to-day with managing records has improved using Collabspace physical records features.

In this session, we’ll review:

  • Common obstacles RMs face with physical records management (shared by an actual records manager!)

  • Review of physical records feature offerings available with Collabspace

  • Tangible, everyday examples exemplifying how using the right tool eliminated Mia’s physical records frustrations
