As Microsoft continues to introduce Office 365 & SharePoint records management features as part of their higher level licensing, our team is often asked whether the functionality satisfies Australian legislative standards, or whether a traditional electronic document and records management system (eDRMS) such as RecordPoint or TRIM/Content Manager is still required.
We've collated a list of reasons why Office 365 & SharePoint Online records management functionality does not satisfy legislative requirements, highlighting the areas where it falls short of Australian recordkeeping standards. We have also drawn attention to some limitations in functionality that present administrative challenges.
