BT improves access to files and improves compliance with regulations related to retention and disposal of employee records with OpenText Records Management.

Thanks to OpenText, our human resources function is now compliant with Data Protection law and other retention legislation in the UK. Our service levels have improved, we’ve saved money on storage and resourcing and paved the way for a number of other exciting future initiatives.

Challenge

The cost and time required to record, warehouse, retrieve and re-file more than 10 million sheets of paper contained in personnel files was a major burden for BT. The company wanted to establish a rigorous records retention and archiving solution that complies with the UK Data Protection Act (DPA).
