Overview
A business can reduce its costs and enhance its performance when there is a well-organized records management system in place. This course is an essential guide for developing and maintaining such a system. It does so by covering the record life cycle, record formats, and the concept of information governance. The course then delves into the use of alphabetic storage, numeric storage, and geographic storage, along with many records management best practices and a discussion of records retention. The course concludes with coverage of electronic records management, including such topics as the different types of electronic media, record safety, and the mitigation of catastrophic record damage.
