Filecorp – Did You Know?

It’s "Did You Know" month at Filecorp and we’re focusing on some aspects of Records Management that are really integral to the effective overseeing of an organisations corporate knowledge.

Sometimes the activity of shifting electronic or paper files into appropriate locations can feel routine and like you’re not really doing a lot to achieve World Peace. However a successful records management initiative will become a priceless component of running a business.  

The Benefits of Good Records Management:

  • Consolidate information and resources plus reduce duplication.
  • Improve efficiency and productivity by developing policies and procedures to underpin a records management programme that will keep records moving efficiently from creation to final disposition.
  • Start to maximise quality and efficiency of recordkeeping systems and practices, in compliance with industry standards – AS4390 and ISO 15489.
  • Achieve significant time savings for the retrieval of information, leading to increased productivity.
  • Rationalise available space by adopting specific strategies and practices as well as the most appropriate equipment and file housing.
  • Reduce storage costs for inactive records as only appropriate records are sent off site in the most space efficient file format.
  • Encourage a change-ready culture prior to the adoption of full EDRMS (Electronic Records and Document Management System).
  • Ensure protection and support in litigation through better management of the risks associated with records as evidence of transactions and activities.
