The management of recorded information resources demands attention to your business, not somebody else's.
Imposing solutions designed for another context will not meet the needs of your own unique environment. Strategically, it may backfire, losing support that you might otherwise have gained.
Four problems that are often observed are summarized below.
- Reliance on third-party, out of context policies
- Reliance on generic retention policies and approaches
- Focus on records instead of their place in achieving outcomes (products and services)
- Data gathering limited to domestic rather than international experience and contexts
