19. Document Management vs
Records Management
● DM systems control the creation of document versions and
support the locking of documents checked­out for revisions.
It further provides an audit capability to see the complete
history of changes made by authors of a document.
● In RM, once a document is declared to be a record, it will
ensure that the record is not altered. Records are filed or
categorized based on a specialized classification system
known as the ‘file plan’. Records are then disposed of at
the end of the life of the record based on the record
disposition schedule.
