Overview

Records Management Software Systems

Electronic records management programs reduce risk and cost. That’s the bottom line. A disciplined, enterprise-wide records management strategy ensures organisations can comply with external regulations and internal policies by managing the retention and disposition of content.

Records Management and Information Governance

When corporate information sources are brought under central information governance, there is a level of consistency that is not possible with disparate systems. Policy can be consistently set and enforced across all the content sources. It’s also the one strategic move organisations can make to minimise the risk of unmanaged information. Organisations gain control – ensuring relevant and pertinent information can be found in a timely manner. If the information does not exist, the organisation will be able to authoritatively demonstrate that the content was dispositioned in compliance with policies, laws and regulations.

By providing a structured and transparent way to maintain records from creation through to eventual disposition, Records Management enhances corporate accountability, ensures regulatory compliance, and minimises the risks associated with audit and litigation.

Business Needs

Business Needs

Establish consistent, auditable and defensible Information Governance across your business

The volume of Enterprise information held by organisations is growing exponentially, intensified by business applications moving from the desktop to mobile devices and where information, itself, can reside anywhere – on premise or in the cloud. The "boundaries" of business's no longer end at the firewall, making it harder than ever to enforce information management policies and ensure compliance.

Businesses everywhere are realising the value that an Information Governance program can have to manage not just the expotential rise in data volumes, but also the enforcement of new regulations and policies which  are constantly evolving or being introduced to manage the growth Enterprise Information.

Enterprise Information Management (EIM) solutions can help companies deliver a governance programme to deal with corporate information, the consumers and creators of that information, in the context of real business processes. Best practices and solutions that help meet compliance and risk mitigation mandates imposed by law, regulators, or internal quality standards are complemented by a keen focus on developing ways to capitalise on the kinds of productivity and efficiency gains that grow out of an asset-management approach to corporate information. 

A successful Information Governance strategy demands that companies balance the mitigation of legal and business risk, take advantage of information to drive business value, and minimise the costs of managing information.
