<p>Let's start this admittedly provocative post with a question: Anybody out there actually doing records management in SharePoint?</p><p>And before you answer, let me emphasize that I mean real records management, like, with actual, system-enabled automated disposition according to your retention schedule.</p><p>If you answered "yes" to this question, please jump immediately to the comments section and let us all know (and while you're at it, give us some indication of how on earth you're doing it), because based on my experience, I'd be willing to bet the answer to this question is going to be "no" in 99.9% of all cases.</p><p>And while I'm in a betting mood, I'd also be willing to bet that if you answered "yes," you 100% aren't doing it with out of the box SharePoint, because out of the box SharePoint can't do records management at the level the vast majority of organizations require it just doesn't, people, no matter how much Microsoft claims that it does, or trumpets that fact that they themselves use it to. But don't just take my word for it, ask Bruce Miller.Gauntlet Thrown</p><p><a href="http://www.cmswire.com/cms/information-management/you-cant-do-records-management-in-sharepoint-020380.php">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=172862">AvePoint Showcases DocAve Online for Microsoft SharePoint as Platinum ...</a> (WebWire (press release))</p><p><a href="http://events.einnews.com/event/18629/sharepoint-training">SharePoint training</a> (Einnews Portugal)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=dKg9Yps8eqLoVjMgAwrHbQ4eFdn_M&ned=us">3 additional articles.</a></p>
