So, this project could not be more perfect for me and my hyper attention to detail. Now you might be thinking to youself "self, why would a young girl be so interested in document management?"
Well, I'll tell you....
This has turned into something much more than just filing documents. I am, essentially, reorganizing the entire storage system the Town has for the wastewater fight. There are legal briefs, memos from PAG/CAAG meetings, emails between contractors and Town employees, everything the Town needs to keep up the battle with Pima County. Preserving these documents is important not only for the retention requirements of the state, but when the dust finally settles, there will be a place to find all the materials needed to begin the process of managing the Town's wastewater system.
I'm really excited to be working on something that has such long term connotations. As I have stated before, I am a huge government nerd and being able to see the files that provide the background for some of the things I have been reading/learning about for years is a really great treat for me, yeah, yeah...I know....I'm a dork....
As far as technical things, I have been working on searching on a new program that I have never used before, SharePoint, which has been an interesting experience. There is so much that I have only been able to go through and see what is duplicated and where things are located. My goal is that by the end of next week I can have the folders and hierarachy completed so we can start scanning and updating the database.
I am working on some standard operating procedures to make the transition from planning to implementation that much simpler. I hope its works out! I am nervous and excited at the same time!! Well maybe 60% nervous and 40% excited...or the other way around.
