Information Management
Topwood can help you become more efficient
An efficient business needs to control all these things:
- secure storage of information
- storage duration ('retention scheduling')
- storage conditions
- how information is destroyed
In many cases, a business will have no formal method for controlling information. Some businesses operate on a 7-year rule, and dispose of everything older than this - but not everything needs to be kept this long. And some things need to be kept for longer.
Systems often grow up on an ad hoc basis, making storage, retrieval and destruction difficult. As staff come and go, an 'information spaghetti' evolves - the only records of what you've got and where it is are in the heads of your staff. If they leave, the information leaves with them.
