Record investment misses mobile devices

Records managers appear to be giving mobile access to records the thumbs-down despite recognising the need to provide information to users in real-time, a survey reveals.

The survey of 104 records managers at last month’s Records Managers Association of Australasia conference found that almost two-thirds of organisations ‘have no plans in place for providing access to corporate records on a mobile device’.

Only 25 per cent have already provided access to records on a mobile device, the survey found.

Almost three-quarters of attendees surveyed said that they will increase their spend on records management in the year ahead.

Approximately 40 per cent believed that records management would take a larger percentage of total IT budget investment in 2009.

The survey was conducted by the vendor Open Text.

Whitepaper - Remote Client Solutions: The Multiplication of Virtualisation Technologies
After more than two decades of undisputed dominance in the corporate desktop space, PCs are now under significant threat following the long-time development of virtualisation technologies that finally make the delivery of remote desktops viable for businesses. This IDC white paper provides an overview of remote client solutions and how they compare with the traditional PC infrastructure.

IDC conducted a statistical ROI analysis of the use of thin clients based on interviews with four HP customers and found that companies received a 466% return on investment after purchasing a thin client for their business. The IDC whitepaper also takes an in depth look at the benefit of HP thin clients to major Australia and New Zealand ticketing partner, Ticketek.
