Why is digital records management important?

Digital records management is not only a way to organize data, but also an important part of information protection and regulatory compliance.

Key elements of effective information management

Effective information management relies on several key elements that together enable better organization of data and processes:

1. Data centralization – gathering all documents in one place for easy storage and access.

3. Access control – ensuring that only authorized users have access to data.
4. Manage the life cycle of documents – from creation, to editing, to archiving or deletion.
5. Integration with other systems – allows seamless collaboration between IT tools such as CRM and ERP.
