What is Records Management Software?
Organizations use document and records management to manage documents and content throughout their organization, from creation to destruction.
Typically, systems consider a document or file a work-in-progress until it has undergone review, approval, lock-down, and (potentially) publication, where it will wait for use. The version of the saved form containing user content will become a formal record within the organization. Electronic document management software enables the management of paper files (through conversion to digital images) and other electronic content such as Word documents, pictures, and PDF’s to name a few file formats. Workflow, versioning, and approval rules are applied based on the needs of the business.
Once a document achieves the status of a record, the organization may apply best-practice or legally enforced retention policies. These policies state how the second half of the record life cycle will progress, typically involving retention (and protection from change) until some events relate to the record and trigger the final disposition schedule to apply to it. Eventually, typically at a set time after these events, records are destroyed.
Electronic document management software defines users and privileges, approvals, and versioning. You can use the software on your organization’s servers or access it via a browser in a cloud environment. In either case, defined security protocols apply to all electronic content.
