Industry amasses a multitude of information during its day-to-day operations. This information is archived on a regular basis or just resides in company file cabinets without proper controls to ensure that it is not discarded during position changes and department realignments. Even archival services date the content and at the end of the period send a short transmittal to the originating department requesting to destroy the achieved information. At the time this material may not seem important, but in many cases comes back to haunt the company, as supportive documents have been destroyed or lost. This is information can be categorized as: company confidential, consortium confidential, or for general use. The greatest ease of access is through electronic media that can be stored and categorized on central file servers.
