Do you have knowledge of record management? Do you know about archive management? Are you familiar with the use of any record management software? Do you want to want in a bank? If your answers to these questions are positive, kindly send your cv to the_advertiser@hotmail.com urgently.
Thanks.

A Records Manager is someone who is responsible for records management in an organization.

Section 4 of the ISO 15489-1:2001 states that records management includes:

setting policies and standards;

assigning responsibilities and authorities;

establishing and promulgating procedures and guidelines;

providing a range of services relating to the management and use of records;

designing, implementing and administering specialized systems for managing records; and

integrating records management into business systems and processes.

Thus, the practice of records management may involve:

planning the information needs of an organization

identifying information requiring capture

creating, approving, and enforcing policies and practices regarding records, including their organization and disposal

developing a records storage plan, which includes the short and long-term housing of physical records and digital information

identifying, classifying, and storing records

coordinating access to records internally and outside of the organization, balancing the requirements of business confidentiality, data privacy, and public access.

executing a retention policy on the disposal of records which are no longer required for operational reasons; according to organizational policies, statutory requirements, and other regulations this may involve either their destruction or permanent preservation in an archive.

Records management principles and automated records management systems aid in the capture, classification, and ongoing management of records throughout their lifecycle. Such a system may be paper based (such as index cards as used in a library), or may be a computer system, such as an electronic records management application.

Guidelines for Choosing Records Management Software
Evaluating, selecting, and purchasing the correct software is dependent on such factors as the size and complexity of the organization, knowing what the organization needs and how the software will be used, and the cost to acquire and maintain the software.

Identify records management needs by first conducting a records inventory. An inventory will determine the quantity of records, their physical and environmental condition, how often they are referenced, and where they are located. The inventory provides a survey of an existing records situation, determines storage needs, identifies vital and archival records, improves recordkeeping habits and provides a solid foundation for a solid records management plan.

After completing the inventory, determine records management software needs by investigating what records management functions the software will support, what general functions the software must possess, and what performance criteria the software must meet. Records management functions include destruction notification, destruction of electronic records, request processing, file and box tracking, files management, and document management. General functions include help features, menus and commands, speed and accuracy, generation of standard reports, ease of use, ability to manage records in all formats, and security classification and access privileges. Minimum performance criteria to look for include the ability to perform on a current computer system and the inclusion of vendor-supplied support, maintenance, and training.

After defining the requirements for the software, choosing the product is an easier process. There are many types of software products available to meet particular needs, such as indexing and searching products, document management software, and records management applications (RMAs). There are many commercial off-the-shelf software products that provide such benefits as immediate availability, proven reliability, lower cost, availability of user manuals and online tutorials. Many organizations develop applications using commercially available database management software packages such as Microsoft Access or Lotus Approach. Another option is to have a customized application written, which can be tailored to an organization's particular needs.

Careful evaluation and testing of available records management software packages, as well as the investigation of vendors before purchase and the knowledge of what is included in the price of the software, can create a more productive and efficient records management program for an organization.
