Electronic records management

Managing records is work it is time consuming and sometimes a challenge.  But even in these, technology has made things easier.  With computers we can organize files easily because we have a feature that organizes things alphabetically.   There is however still the need for human touch, we decide what to program on the computer for example; we know how much time a document needs to be stored and when it needs to be discarded.  We have regulations and methods that need to be applied in order for a business to run smoothly. When managing electronic records we must first identify the record is ti automated, individual or a database record. After identifying the records you must manage here is a rhythm involved.  Managing records begins with creation and storage.  Use and distribution are also involved. Maintaining a file seems easy because it is in the  computer but again human touch is called for because sometimes we need to move files from one computer to another or to an external source like a hard drive or a DVD.
