Records Management in the digital era (online video classes)

Many organizations use network drives to store and preserve documents and information. Usually these drives are used by several employees. Without proper alignment on how to use these shared drives and files a cluttered collection of unmanageable information will be created. In this course you will learn how to construct a simple and accessible folder structure and use logical and understandable filenames. Ultimately, this leads to less search time and a higher percentage of documents found. In addition, a good document storage  system results in the necessary compliance and governance .

Target audience

This course is meant for all information specialists who deal with large quantities of data stored in shared files on network drives.
