The Portable Consultant is working at a client site these days, helping with the strategic and technical requirements for a web content management system prior to preparation of an RFP.

One of my points has been that web content should be archived since it is one component of enterprise content and, as such, should be treated as business records.

Hearing that our WCM project might have something to do with archiving, Muyiwa dropped by to chat. His team is finishing off a Lotus Notes e-mail project that he felt should have addressed the issue of e-mail archiving, but didn’t. He is planning to pass that back on up the chain of command for management to consider.

This is great! A down-in-the-trenches employee passing along the message that this important issue needs to be addressed.

We need more like him.

Cheers,
