Destruction

Physical record management, also known as paper record management, refers to the systematic organization, storage, and retrieval of physical documents and records within an organization or institution. This process involves the careful handling, cataloging, and preservation of paper-based records, such as contracts, invoices, personnel files, and other important documents.

Despite the digital revolution, physical record management remains crucial for many organizations, as it provides a tangible and reliable backup, ensures compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, and serves as a vital resource for historical and archival purposes.

Automated Workflows

Digital document storage refers to the practice of storing electronic files and documents in a secure digital environment, such as cloud storage or dedicated servers. It offers several benefits compared to traditional physical document storage.

Collaboration and sharing become seamless with digital document storage, as multiple users can access and work on the same document simultaneously from different locations. Furthermore, version control and document tracking features ensure that the most up-to-date information is always available.

Legal Compliance Problem

Compliance in most industries demand that institutional records of vital historical, fiscal, and legal value are identified and preserved, and that non-essential records are discarded in a timely manner according to established guidelines and identified legislation. Across Africa, our experience has shown this practice has been fully realised, with most companies reliant on in house teams and very little guidelines on how to handle this vital function.
