An Electronic Document and Records Management System (EDRMS) is a system which captures, manages and provides access to records and information through time. The University currently utilises HP TRIM (referred to as TRIM) as its EDRMS to manage all business information including administrative, research, teaching and course material regardless of format.

TRIM can provide:

  • Records management
  • Document management
  • Email Management
  • Workflow/Action Tracking
  • Image Management
  • Web Publishing

Microsoft Office applications have a direct interface with TRIM whilst other applications are able to be imported by various methods, such as drag & drop.  This ensures that all business documentation can be saved into TRIM with as little disruption as possible to normal work processes. TRIM also has an offline facility if you require documents from TRIM when you are not in the office.

TRIM includes a classification scheme, disposal & retention, contacts database and the ability to track information across the University. It also has the capacity to link to other business systems such as the Research Management Data Base, Finance System, HRMS and others.

TRIM is currently utilised by the following business units; Vice-Chancellor's Office, Deputy Vice-Chancellor's Office, Pro Vice-Chancellor's Offices, Executive Director Finance & Administration Office, Executive Director Planning & Development Office , Director of Financial & Business Services, Governance & Legal, Director of Events & Protocol,  Director Transnational Education, Accommodation Services and Asset Management Services to capture, retrieve and manage their records and information.

Other business areas wishing to request TRIM access may use the Application for TRIM Access form, but should be aware that the University is currently at capacity in terms of the number of seat licenses it can allocate and support, and it may not be possible to provide access to additional business areas at this time.

Introductory training is provided to all new TRIM users, but if you are an existing TRIM user and would like a refresher training session, please contact the Manager, Records and Information.
