 Electronic Document and Records Management System (EDRMS) is a type of content management system and refers to the combined technologies of document management and records management systems as an integrated system.
The aim of Electronic Document and Records Management
Electronic document and records management aims to enable businesses to manage documents and records throughout the information life cycle, from creation to destruction.
Typically, systems consider a document a work in progress until it has undergone review, approval, lock-down and (potentially) publication, at which point it becomes a formal record within the organisation.
Once a document achieves the status of a record, the organisation may apply best-practice or legally enforced retention policies which state how the second half of the life cycle will progress. This typically involves retention (and protection from change), until some events occur which relate to the record and which trigger the final disposition schedule to apply to the record. Eventually, typically a set time after these events, the record undergoes destruction.
