Records Management Challenges

In today’s information-rich environment the creation, retrieval, sharing and maintenance of records is
complex and expensive. The challenges are many and include:

• Voluminous amounts of records that are created daily
• Comprehensive policy, procedure and access controls needed to manage content
• Complex retention, regulatory, privacy and litigation issues

According to research, enterprises have underestimated the importance of document management, as policies around storage, dissemination and retention can carry significant consequences. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, U.S. regulators’ response to recent corporate scandals, only addresses corporate audits; however, "Legal discovery of electronic documents is a big business, and those enterprises that don't keep proper records or cannot produce them will pay heavy legal costs and, possibly financial judgments. Records management has moved out of the basement and into the executive suite." (Gartner Group Research, March 21, 2003).
