Document management, as a set of processes, is concerned with how businesses and organizations capture, store, manage, secure, archive, and eventually dispose of their documents as informational assets over time.

There are current trends and challenges in document and records management, specifically:

• • An increase in volume and variety of unstructured materials, especially paper and electronic documents, from multiple sources and forms
  • A greater demand for data security and protection, and adherence to existing standards and regulations.
  • Lack of or sluggish adoption of laws governing the use of electronic documents and digitalization practices.
