Document and Records Management key to Satisfying Regulatory Obligations

In order to adhere to the raft of current regulations and legislation, such as Sarbanes Oxley and the Companies Act 2004, businesses are required to retain corporate information. However, it is highly questionable whether many organisations actually have a clear understanding of what their obligations are to become compliant. An essential point that must be addressed is the organisation’s ability to understand what information should be retained and for how long. The penalties that companies face for not being able to discover and retrieve the correct information within requested timeframes can be severe, so it is essential that corporate information is safely retained in a format where it cannot be altered. In Butler Group’s opinion, the only effective way that this can be achieved is through the successful deployment and use of a Document and Records Management (DRM) solution.
