What Is Records Management?
Records management is the systematic organization, storage, and maintenance of your important documents throughout their lifecycle. It involves creating logical filing systems, establishing retention schedules, ensuring proper storage conditions, and developing easy retrieval methods so you can find what you need when you need it.
