Records and Information Management
If recent economic events have done anything, they’ve made organisations keenly aware of the need to effectively manage records and information. While retaining them as long as needed is important, it’s also imperative to transfer and dispose of them properly to avoid wasting space and productivity or exposing an organisation to legal risk.
Records and information management (RIM) products that are part of a complete ECM framework achieve the right balance, electronically managing the entire lifecycle of important business content, including e-mail.
With the right RIM approach, an organisation can:
- Plan ahead: Capture, store and organise all document information securely and build flexible retention policies.
- Protect itself: Manage the lifecycle of information to mitigate legal risks and strengthen compliance.
- Let go: Destroy or transfer document information automatically when its retention period is complete.
Focused on details. Prepared for the duration.
RIM products from Perceptive Software are built upon the proven ECM technology platform. Retention Policy Manager combined with ImageNow and other products brings rich, seamless RIM functionality to familiar work processes. This helps staff concentrate on day-to-day business activities while also being prepared to handle specific RIM and compliance needs.
When properly implemented, these products effectively manage an organisation’s most valuable information assets, and as a result:
- Ensure compliance with government, industry record retention requirements
- Reduce risk in the event of civil litigation or government investigation
- Minimise storage costs and free up server space for critical information
- Reallocate resources for more useful business activities
- Organise paper and electronic information for immediate retrieval
- Protect mission-critical information against loss or unintended destruction
