Synopsis

The central information challenge faced by organisations is how to get the most out of their information assets. As businesses become more complex and face an ever increasing number of regulatory requirements the task of efficiently managing the growing volume of paper and electronic records becomes more difficult. Research shows this critical business information is expensive to collect, often unreliable, and increasingly out of control. Administrative managers need a sound knowledge of information management methods and technologies. This course provides an overview of the scope and complexities of administrative management of records whether paper, microform or electronic.
