Most IT specialists define Records Management as the application of systematic controls concerning the creation, maintenance and destruction of records required for the operation of an organization. A chief concept underlying records management is the life cycle. Every record passes through a series of stages, during which its relationship to the organization changes. And there are five- (5) major stages in a record’s life cycle that digiDOQ will manage for you:

  1. Document / Record creation;
  2. Distribution and use;
  3. Storage and maintenance;
  4. Retention and disposition; and
  5. Archival preservation.
