This is an interesting article from Gartner on how Google’s Enterprise Gmail has experienced growth and others such as Lotus Notes and Groupwise has lost ground. There are now more than 5,000 seats of Google Enterprise Gmail Worldwide which may not sound earthshattering, but I’ll bet that the Notes and Groupwise have dropped by more than that!

Only Microsoft Exchange is ahead of Google Enterprise Gmail….for now! TRIM may have to come up with a solution to allow for the capture of Google Enterprise Gmail!

The city of West Linn is considering joining a pilot program with the Secretary of State’s office in the hopes of cutting down on public record maintenance and potential litigation risk.

City councilors heard a proposal during a work session meeting on Monday by the Secretary of State’s archives division, to partner with the state in implementing the use of HP Trim, an electronic records management service.

Under the agreement, the state agency would assist, offer support and train city staff in using the program and the city pays to use the service, which is estimated to be a little more than $44,000 a year.

Chances are, your search for this documentation may be fruitless – until now!  We here at the TRIM User Network have access to some documentation for previous versions of TRIM.  Of course, we’ll upload the latest documentation when it becomes available but we’ll also make the older stuff available.
