Report Writing Assignment:
The University of City Beach is a major Australian university of over 20,000 students. Preliminary
investigations have revealed that the university currently has a paper-based records management system
and may need to implement a new records management system (RMS) to manage its digital artefacts
and to be more responsive presence to student needs and administrative staff. You have been appointed
to the role of Business Systems Analyst to support the project manager and need to develop a sound
strategy, with relevant supporting project material to identify a suitable replacement product for the
University.The University requires a system which will manage documents and records and also reduces risk associated with records and document governance, as well as providing an enhanced level of service to students and staff at the university. The university would like to receive a detailed feasibility study to
indicate whether it is viable and desirable to implement a new system to replace the existing paper-based
system currently in place.

new records management system at ECU. The document should clearly identify the current trends in
RMS systems and any relevant inhibitors that may make the project unviable. To start the feasibility study you should conduct a review of trends and practices surrounding RMS products – particularly those in university environments.
2.This assignment will require some research and background reading on records management systems.
