Training Introduction

In today’s digital-first world, organizations are moving rapidly from paper-based records to electronic systems, transforming how information is created, stored, and managed. Effective Electronic Records Management (ERM) has become a critical discipline, ensuring records are systematically controlled throughout their lifecycle—from creation and processing to storage, distribution, and eventual disposal.
