Introduction
What does Records Management mean? Records Management is an area of management responsible for the well-organized and systematic control of the creation, retention, conservation, utilization, and disposition of records. The process also includes obtaining and retaining data and information that arises from those records and other business transactions. Records Retention is part of Records Management. How important is this concept in today’s businesses? In 2013, IBM statistically reported that 90% of the world’s data was created in 2 years alone. Challenges with records management account for 21.30% productivity loss. 5% of all physical documents and records get misplaced or lost. 77% of top managers and business owners want to access files remotely. Records and data of 184 million systems around the world were affected by ransomware in 2017. The US economy gets hit by $3.1 trillion yearly on poor and unstructured data quality. 95% of today’s businesses have challenges with unstructured data. 80-90% of the records managed today are unsystematic. By 2020, the world will have around 40 trillion gigabytes of data (that is 40 zettabytes). While the world moves towards digitalization of records, and more offices look to become paperless, physical records management is still an important aspect in today’s businesses. 80% of all information is still paper-based in many companies. Many businesses tend to be more reactive to such situations than being proactive when it comes to implementing records management systems for managing their records and data. Cases of lost records, misuse of information, and leaks of confidential information may give rise to legal consequences.
