Electronic Document & Records Management
Hitachi Consulting is a leading provider of Electronic Document and Records Management (EDRM) consultancy in the UK. Hitachi Consulting has been providing the public and private sector with consultancy in this area for the past 16 years.
Hitachi Consulting has carried out assignments to define EDRM business requirements and to select vendors, and therefore has a good understanding of the technology service providers in this field. Hitachi Consulting primarily employs leading practitioners of EDRM and related disciplines. We have an in-depth understanding of Modernising Government targets, records management standards and the Model Requirements for the Management of Electronic Records Systems (MoReq). Hitachi Consulting has equally strong credentials in the ‘non-technical' aspects of an EDRM Programme, including programme management, organisational readiness / business change and business case.
