An Effective Records Management Program is Not All or Nothing
The first step to gain control is to distinguish records from non-records. Organizations must understand that saving everything
does not constitute an effective records management program. Rather, this all-or-nothing approach accomplishes the opposite; it
hurts an organization's ability to manage actual records and costs them unnecessary money in storage. After separating out
business records, organizations can then begin to categorize them for filing and apply retention schedules to determine how long
each record should be maintained.
