Step Four - assessment of existing systems

You are strongly advised to conduct a full assessment of existing record keeping and other information systems prior to defining your requirements for an EDRM solution.

You are again referred to the DIRKS Manual, Step D - Assessment of existing systems, for a detailed account of how to conduct an assessment of your education organisation's existing record keeping and other information systems.

Beyond the DIRKS requirements there are some significant additional information gathering requirements that should be conducted at this stage to provide you with all the data you need to go on to specify your requirements for an EDRM solution.
