This article reports the results of a study aimed at establishing the records consultants’ views on records management consultancy services in the Zimbabwean information society. The participants included three records consultancy companies and nine archivists who were purposively sampled. Using a qualitative exploratory study design data were gathered through interviews. The results suggest that there are a plethora of records management problems in both public and private sectors and concludes that the prevailing economic situation is hampering records management consultancy such that organisations’ executives are not allocating resources towards records management and as such consultancy work is adversely affected due to prioritisation of company resources. The study recommends that organisations need to recruit professional records managers and utilise consultants’ expertise to solve some of their records management problems.

“…If records management is implemented properly within the organization, various benefits, such as enhancement of service delivery, quick decision-making and compliance with archival legislation, can be realized (Shepherd 2006:7). This was shown by Orr (2008:167) when indicating the benefits realized by the European Central Bank in implementing a centralized records management model that was suitable for the organization and had a dedicated records management section. Mcleod (2012:187) suggests that it is advisable to manage records in a hybrid environment to benefit from both paper and electronic media.…”

Records management models play a significant role in the provision of records management services in organizations. However, many governmental bodies design records management programmes without taking into consideration the models appropriate for implementation. This study investigated records management models adopted by the public sector in South Africa, with a view to developing a model that can be customized by governmental bodies in the implementation of records management. Quantitative data was collected through questionnaires distributed electronically to records management practitioners in governmental bodies. The study revealed that governmental bodies in South Africa apply general records management principles without customizing them or addressing the challenges they are facing. It is argued that, because each organization is unique in its make-up, culture, goals and management style, effective records management cannot be obtained by copying other organizations’ records management programmes. The study proposes a model that governmental bodies can customize in the implementation of records management.

“…Again working with staff colleagues and helping them all to fulfil their record keeping duties will raise the profile and potentially increase the influence of the records manager. The setting up of a professional development programme and career structure for records personnel is only possible in a small number of organisations although there are a number of examples across the sectors (BBC (Hare and McLeod, 2001), European Central Bank (Orr (2008)) from which models can be drawn.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to review the recent initiatives by the US Federal Government to put in place a robust and comprehensive framework and programme to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of managing Federal records and consider the wider scalability and applicability of the approach. Design/methodology/approach -This paper examines the context, the supporting documents and the framework and analyses the extent to which the approach can be applied to organizations in general. Findings -While very few organizations will have the authority and the resources available to the US Federal Government, the overall framework and its various elements provide a good, concise and up to date guide, irrespective of an organization's size.Research limitations/implications -The analysis is a personal assessment of the US Federal Government approach. Practical implications -It is hoped that the opinion piece gives food for thought, encouragement to hard pressed professionals to give some time to stepping back and reviewing their activity and highlights some useful, up to date resources. Originality/value -The opinion piece provides an analysis of a major and current records management initiative.
