Records Management

Records management involves the creation, maintenance, use and disposal of digital or paper records that document business transactions, regardless of their format. It aims to help organizations keep necessary documentation accessible for operations and audits by tracking where records are stored through spreadsheets or records management software suites tied to taxonomies and retention schedules. Such suites may be part of enterprise information management products capable of handling both records and general content.

Records management (RM) is the supervision and administration of digital or

paper records, regardless of format.

Records management activities include the creation, receipt, maintenance,


use and disposal of records. In this context, a record is content that
documents a business transaction. Documentation may exist in contracts,
memos, paper files, electronic files, reports, emails, videos, instant message
logs or database records. Paper records may be stored in physical boxes on-
premises or at a storage facility. Digital records may be stored on storage
media in-house or in the cloud.

The goal of records management is to help an organization keep the


necessary documentation accessible for both business operations
and compliance audits. In some small to mid-sized businesses, spreadsheets
are used to track where records are stored, but larger organizations may find
records management software suites that are tied to both a taxonomy and
a records retention schedule to be more useful. Such software suites may be
marketed as enterprise information management (EIM) products that are
capable of helping an organization to manage both records and ordinary
content.
