iv. RECORDS MANAGEMENT

Document lifecycle management environments will help business owners understand how each document type reaches the archive or destruction stage. Following the processes, records and documents provide valuable insight that creates a document management system that is always up-to-date. The stages of the average document lifecycle include:

Creation Approval Storage

• Distribution

Retrieval Change control Obsolescence

When your company understands each stage, you can put the proper controls in place to reduce the risk of data loss. You can also ensure you follow industry standards dictating how you maintain the integrity of information. Finally, without a document lifecycle environment, you are more likely to create a decentralized document and records management approach that keeps departments operating in silos. The right environment encourages collaboration for your internal and external stakeholders, providing an integrated approach to document management. The electronic environment protects the integrity of records at every stage of the document lifecycle for consistent management that remains sustainable while adhering to industry regulations. As a result, traceability is improved with lifecycle controls in place.

Solutions that leverage artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML) rely upon inputs of quality data to reach optimization and improve processes as they go. One of the major drivers for this market is the data security enhancement provided by scanned documents. The increasing demand for cloud storage has prompted document scanner companies to offer products that can connect with cloud storage. Thus, the trend of integration of document scanner with cloud will drive the market growth. To maintain a backup of digital documents, enterprises need to invest in cloud-based storage solutions, which in turn increases the operational costs. Scanning and paper digitization makes content more organized and searchable, reducing the time it takes to respond to information requests and eliminating costly, time-consuming, and error- prone manual processes.

The global market for record management services market size is projected to reach USD 57.56 billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.9% over the forecast period.
