Retention of records

Storing information sounds easy. However, there's more to it than meets the eye. For example, your storage space needs to be cost-effective. Security must be of the highest level. Records need to be accessed quickly for optimum efficiency in both paper and digital formats.

Successful records and information management lets you plan, organise and take control of your organisation’s physical and digital records from creation, through active use to secure destruction, permanent storage or designation as big data. Your records retention schedule is the cornerstone of good records management. It is an important step not only in achieving compliance, but also in controlling costs and ensuring your information is available when it’s needed – regardless of where it is located.
