%X The purpose of this paper is to attempt to determine the number of actual EDM system implementations in institutions subject to the provisions of Prime Minister’s Ordinance of 18 January 2011 and to interpret the results of research conducted so far by selected institutions using heterogeneous research methods. The aim of the study is to demonstrate the phenomenon of overinterpretation of the functionality of IT tools supporting administrative work by their manufacturers and often also by the officials themselves. The article attempts to provide evidence for the causes of this phenomenon. The analysis uses data collected upon the order of the Ministry of Digitization for the years 2012–2015, the Central Statistical Office data for the years 2015–2019, two completed student projects (concerning the implementation of EDM systems in offices countrywide and in Małopolskie Voivodship), and audit reports regarding compliance with the regulations on the national archival resource and archives (reports from audits of company archives) for the years 2011–2019, concerning public administration units from the area placed under archival supervision of the National Archive in Kraków.
