Find out how to manage and store your agency's information so it stays accessible and usable.

Information your agency creates as part of a specific business process needs to be managed so that it can be searched, shared, reused and repurposed.

An essential part of managing your agency’s business information and records is to capture it into systems that manage and support its use over time.

Properly described information lets users understand what the information is, where it came from, what has happened to it and how it interrelates.

The way you store your information affects how easily information can be found, used and managed over time.

Preserving information and records means ensuring they remain accessible and usable. The lifespan of your information and records will depend on how they are managed and preserved.

Agencies need to ensure that the information and records they create are secured so they cannot be tampered with, inappropriately deleted or accessed by unauthorised personnel.
