About information and records management

Every organization produces, transmits, digests and stores information. For a company to operate effectively it needs to have the right information in the right place at the right time. Equally the misuse, copying, theft, loss and abuse of information can be the cause of litigation and even business failure.

Everything an organization does involve information in some way, so businesses need to ensure that it is used properly and carefully. Modern computers and communication systems can store information, process it and make it accessible in ways never before achieved.

This can be of great additional benefit but can also enhance opportunities for misuse, theft, loss and abuse, and, in particular, indiscriminate dissemination of information.
