Enterprise Records Modernization & Legacy Data Migration
There are many benefits to enterprise legacy data migration (moving to a modern records management strategy), one of the most important being that as the volume of electronic information rises, it will simply be impossible to keep up using backward-looking paper-based strategies. The major issues involved in moving to a more modern (i.e., electronic) approach to records management rather than a continued reliance on paper records are:
- Cost: Implementing an electronic records management system can be expensive, especially for large organizations.
- Security: Electronic records are more vulnerable to security threats than paper records.
- Compliance: Organizations, both in the private and government sectors, must comply with a variety of laws and regulations governing the management of electronic records.
- Training: Employees need to be trained on how to use the new system and how to manage electronic records effectively.
- Change Management: Moving to an electronic records management system can be a major change for an organization, and it is important to manage the change process carefully.
Enterprise records modernization is not simply a question of installing a piece of software. Rather, it requires that organizations work with a trusted partner like QAI that understands ALL of the facets of a modern records strategy and how they fit together.
