Records Management

Every organization, whether privately held, publicly traded, or not-for-profit, needs a disciplined approach to record keeping. Proper records management is vital to an organization’s knowledge management, legal defense, and regulatory compliance.

Records management is the process of collecting, managing, and disposing of corporate records (information deemed important for the history, knowledge, or legal defense of a company) in a consistent and uniform manner based on the company’s policies. These policies are shaped by the type of work the organization does, the kinds of legal risks it faces, and the laws and regulations that govern it.

Office SharePoint Server 2007 introduces a new set of features for creating and supporting formal records management capabilities in your organization.
