The most commonly-used term for record management system covers for all kinds of records including people, sytstems, operations, ...  etc.   Regardless of what the records are and what they may contain, the important thing is the "management system" itself and what it does to these records in the entire record management lifecycle from creation to destruction of these records

Better to save all the record for ongoing project like mostly companies doing till the end of project .This will work for present and future management /projects as reference of records.

 

In the modern age we have to store data by scanning the approved papers and keep in different files as pdf files to easily locate, read, print and email. Old method of storing is risky like losing important papers during office shifting, sending head office, stealing, misplacing, and tearing or by damaging flood or rain water. We also know that computer viruses can also damage records but we can save it in CD’S, USB forms. This will save our time for searching, placing, shifting, presenting, papers and forwarding time for references. We can easily present in our meeting to show by larger projector view to explain. This is21st century just open click present, attach, email or print.
