VicForests has chosen RecFind 6 from Knowledgeone to provide a new Enterprise Content Management (ECM) System.

Responsible for producing approximately one third of Victoria’s timber, the state government owned forestry business required an ECM platform that was compliant with the VERS electronic records standard developed by the Public Records Office of Victoria (PROV).

Tony Holland, Sales & Marketing Director at K1Corp said "the implementation will address the problems experienced from having multiple, disparate information stores including paper records, Lotus Notes, shared network drives, personal folders and SharePoint.

“We will convert VicForests’ existing records catalogue data into RecFind 6 and will introduce automated processes to capture and register new documents and records to RecFind 6 on receipt or creation. This will significantly reduce the amount of time and effort required to query and report on information and will also improve key work processes and refine current work practices.”

In addition to being an EDRMS, RecFind 6 is also a generic information management application that can manage concurrently in an integrated system all information relating to Contracts, Customers, Suppliers, Employees, Assets, Incidents, Correspondence and Projects.

VicForests Manager of Corporate Information said that there was a great deal of interest across the organisation about the implementation of RecFind6 and staff were looking to leverage off the system’s infrastructure to meet future information management needs for their respective business functions.
