Archives have played a crucial role in preserving corporate memory and documenting the history of businesses for centuries. The concept of archives can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where clay tablets and papyrus scrolls were used to record important information. Over time, the methods and technologies used to create and store archives have evolved, but their importance in business has remained constant.
Document management is the process of organising, storing, and retrieving documents in a systematic and efficient manner. It involves the use of technology and software to manage both physical and digital documents. Document management is crucial for businesses as it helps streamline operations, improve productivity, ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, and protect sensitive information.
