Managing Your Records
Records have a lifecycle from being created, remaining active (frequent use) and semi-active (infrequent use) to becoming inactive or obsolete. The value of records varies at each stage of the lifecycle, so do records management methods and tools. Records Management Services is available to assist you in managing your records through all stages of the records lifecycle, including records creation, maintenance, storage and disposal.
