Digitization is Here

The Geneva-based International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is concerned that organizations are not properly prepared for the world of digitization that has arrived. This interesting information came from Image and Data Manager in their article, “Are you in control of your records?”

Extraordinary amounts of time and funds go into managing business databases and other corporate records so that businesses can control their activities, improve their operations, and demonstrate compliance with the law. What happens when their systems fail?

Records are critical to any organization. Companies that operate under a risk management program identify the high-risk areas within their activity and take steps to maintain adequate records to mitigate those risks. Unfortunately, not all organizations have risk managers assisting them.

Information management for any type of business is critical. One key way to ensure success is through a solid taxonomy, based on standards, built by someone with years of experience in the field.
