Workshop on Electronic Documents and Records Management (ERM) for Public Sector Organizations

An electronic record-keeping system is an automated information system for the organized collection, processing, transmission, and dissemination of information by defined procedures. The movement toward electronic records offers unprecedented opportunities to improve business efficiency via cheaper storage, faster information retrieval and automation of records management workflows such as retention and disposition.

But with new opportunities come new challenges, as the technical and business reality of electronic records and systems meets records management requirements that existed well before terms like “electronic records” and “digitization” became a reality in business.
