Organizers seeking to maintain record organization and security throughout the life cycle of records have long relied on records management. A vast majority of individuals think of records management as managing documents, storing them, archiving them, tracking them, or destroying them.

The records management services are constantly adapting to the latest technological advancements. Companies are now going beyond creating retention schedules to implement security and privacy policies, along with managing traditional record retention schedules.

Keeping up to date with emerging technologies to prevent mishandled information is critical to the records management industry. This is because modern businesses rely on both physical and digital information.
