Collaborative ERMS

Dear all,

This is an old update......

All alumnus, ex-students and records professionals from Faculty of Information Management, UiTM Shah Alam.

Please mark the day - 6th of October 2016. The MoU Signing Ceremony between Faculty of Information Management (UiTM) and D.G. KOM Sdn Bhd.

It has been 2 years since then when D.G.KOM Sdn Bhd has agreed to sponsor the Electronic Records Managament System LAB for Faculty of Information Management (UiTM Puncak Perdana). They contributed the much needed ERMS software for the purpose of teaching and learning of electronic records management subject. It has costed them almost RM450k with 100 user license, cloud based software, two server units, networking etc for the lab.

I call this a collaborative ERMS. The intention is to use the software as an educational tools for the teaching and learning process and expose the students with electronic records management software and its software tools.

Learning electronic records without proper tools and software is ridiculous. Without the ERMS software, our future records professionals would not be able to learn and be exposed with the necessary tools to manage electronic records. As a matter of fact, this is the sole reason why me myself, and Malaysia Records Management Society and my best friend Dr Irwan and few others have worked so hard in convincing the industry especially in this case D.G.KOM Sdn Bhd to sponsor their DGFlo - ERMS software.

D.G.KOM Sdn Bhd is the Malaysian company, a 100% bumiputera company specialising in developing and supplying DGFlo erms software fully compliance with ISO16175 and the functional requirement of electronic records of Arkib Negara Malaysia.

The collaborative and smart partnership of this effort marks the beginning of the joint collaboration and joint development of an upgraded version of the Malaysia made electronic records management system between the experts and academia of the Faculty of Information Management (UiTM) and the development team of D.G.KOM Sdn Bhd.

In the pipeline, a new version of the software jointly developed between FPM-UiTM and DGFlo Innovation (a subsidiary of D.G.KOM Sdn Bhd), known as Archive and Records Management System Solutions (ARMSS) is under its way and expected to be released by March 2017. This is the result of joint development and collaborative efforts between academia and industry in research and development which is deemed beneficial to the records management field, the society and our nation as a whole.
