BACKGROUND
European Central Bank (ECB) was established in June 1998 and, together with the central banks of countries whose currency is the euro, is the financial power of the euro area. For the main objective is for maintain price stability which is to protect the euro.ECB has around 1,340 employees and is divided into 17 areas of business but Only five years after its inception, the ECB faced the reality that the management of records and information was straining under the weight of outdated methods of filing in the different business areas and finally it runs the risk of losing control over institutional memory. Also focus archive existing ECB is on the heritage of the pioneers of the documents of the ECB, the Organising Committee and the European Monetary Institute, and efforts to ensure that the resulting records are as complete and accurate as possible. In year 2003 the ECB Executive Board approved an information management policy with the intention of introducing the electronic document and records management age to the ECB and creating the role of the records manager. Faced with the headcount cap, but employee with enough convincing arguments to justify a suitable budget, the key people involved in the early design stages of the ECB’S initial records policy had the idea of resorting to internal recruitment to create a human framework that would make use of a state-of-the-art electronic document and records management system (EDRMS) and at the same time of raising awareness within the ECB of the importance of records management/archiving in order for the ECB to be in a position to manage its information and compile a documented history for European citizens and generations to come.

It was A balancing act 171 clear that the lengthy pilot process could not be replicated and the roll-out methodology had to be rapid, albeit with limited human resources, and without undermining the quality delivered. For example groups of two or three business areas, depending on their size and level of complexity are being rolled-out to in parallel.
Secondly, Change Management has provided valuable experience and taught us many lessons though, given the nature of the pilot and the relatively simple requirements of the two-part pilot, it mainly focuses on the technical performance of the system, without regard to the possibility of the advanced functionality provided by the EDRMS.
...System (SMS). Knowing that the Harley-Davidson’s employees were not very susceptible to quick changes, SiL’k team made sure to employ company’s model to highlight People, Processes and Technology for any change initiatives. Additionally, company’s Technology decisions were differed to company’s Architecture Integration group to ensure all technical solutions will be compatible with existing Information Systems architecture. Last but not least, the team took an open communication approach and throughout the process, each party involved, shared their monthly updates as well as project newsletter that communicated objectives, activities and progress to the community. This was clearly an ultimate teams collaborative effort, which brought them all toward shared vision of the new process and activities, resulted in shareholder’s decision in favor of the new supplier.

At this stage you would then continue the process, as the PDCA will ensure the ISMS continues to evolve to meet the HBWC 's needs. Deliverables at this stage would include an audit checklist, and results from an internal audit.
The Council should pilot the BSC in one service area and then assess its suitability to roll out to the rest of the Council. If the BSC is implemented it should be reviewed on a regular basis to ensure it remains fit for purpose.
The combined countries, now more commonly referred to as Euroland, will fall under one national bank. This bank, the European Central Bank, will determine the economic fate of the entire “Union”. The merging of eleven currencies is a daunting and somewhat lethal task. The ECB is comprised of seventeen members, each having one vote within the governing council. What has most Europeans concerned is the ECB’s secrecy of conducting business. There is no voting record nor will there be published minutes of the meeting that take place. Wim Duisenberg president of the ECB and a native Dutchman stated that he wanted the ECB to be one of the most open banks in the world.1 When BBC reporter Steve Levinson confronted him about this in Frankfurt Germany Wim replied

This case deals with the fact that how he confronted the challenges and developed a plan which immensely benefited bank.
the key impacts on how staff and teams are organized are similar. The most important questioned to address may not be how are staff currently being reorganized in the wake of new technologies, but rather how should staff best be deployed to take full advantages of the potential available. Other than that, to manage electronic records, we need records manager who had skills and information on how to handle the tools to manage those records. Before these recent years, all the records are being managed in form of paper based, so it must be difficult for the records managers who are more familiar with records in paper based to become expert in managing electronic records. They need to be train well on how to manage the electronic records to make them expert on it. It must be take long time to trained the especially if the record managers or staff are older. In addition, consider differences among generations in technology usage during their respective formative, pre-working years, the technological skills and expectation they ultimately bring to the workplace and their influence on work practices and recordkeeping, in particular as their members reach senior professional and managerial positions. Today technological issues offer fewer insurmountable barriers to implementation of sound recordkeeping solutions than do organizational and cultural factors, while technological innovations plays large role in recordkeeping issues and opportunities to deal with them. Because of the lack of skill of the staff, the organization would execute and budgeting staff are accustomed to funding technology projects by trading labor as human for capital as the technology investments, when in fact the necessity to maintain some records in paper form requ...
... work the banks and other financial institutions would also be required to have a system of reporting. If these reports consist of all the necessary information to predict a future crisis or imprudent behaviour in the banks then procedure can be put in place to guide the banks into the appropriate approach.
Hayes (2014), encourages change managers to keep an open line of communication with employees. Although these ones may not agree or support the upcoming change, they value the information being given to them at the onset and may eventually tolerate or accept the change. Therefore, it is important for change managers to not only communicate with employees, but provide relevant information, as the quality of the communication is of the utmost importance.
The problems in Europe arose when 10 large Euro-zone banks asked for a bailout from the ECB. Lower confidence in markets led banks to cease capital flows which in turn led to financial strains on periphery governments. This ultimately worsened bank balance sheets and important credit creations, increasing government debts (see figure 3). However with all business cycles, there are booms and busts and it is the ECB’s job to smoothen growth over time. Nevertheless the Euro is hampering the recovery rather than stimulating the economies of various nations, and shows its inability to be a suitable optimum currency. These problems, were brought forth during its conception as the area seems to b...
As Tektronix decided to implement the new Oracle ERP system, the company chose to introduce it in phases, based around the specific functionality or a particular geographic region. Implementing in phases, or in waves as Tektronix called it, allowed the company to experience regular feedback on specific areas of implementation, allowing time to adjust processes and scheduling as needed. The phased approach enabled the company to achieve frequent victories, which kept team and employee morale high throughout the process and provided encouragement to the Board despite the high cost and long timeline of the overall implementation.
Nowadays with the implementation of new emerging technologies, the way businesses keep this financial information has become computerised. At the moment businesses use computers with a computerised accounting system in order to perform many other new activities than what they were able to do in the past. Businesses can access financial information from different department in the organisation, access to the information through computers and find financial data very fast, being more efficient.
