The digital records storage and retrieval system has recently been upgraded and reorganized to improve service. In 2004, the College entered into a partnership with IBM to license IBM’s DB2 Content Manager System for storage, archiving and retrieval. The initial setup was complete and a limited rollout of service was completed. With support from the Vice President of Business and Finance, The Director of Administrative Services and the Manager of the Digital Imaging Center, a consulting engagement with Silicon Plains was planned. The consultants worked onsite and remotely for four weeks to reorganize the data, rebuild search criteria, normalize metadata and upgrade the application.
