Abstract

Integration between Enterprise Records Management systems (ERMs) and Records Management Systems (RMSs) is provided, thus providing a robust record classification and retention schedule enforcement process in large enterprises. Typically, ERMs have been designed from the ground up to be highly scalable across multiple national and regional jurisdictions, whereas RMS's were primarily departmental. Proper integration between ERMs and RMSs, as provided by the invention, allows corporations to deploy larger scale multi-organizational instances of RMSs, thus achieving a better level of control and significant economies of scale.
