7. Why do we need a system for managing records? • How many people in your office regularly make use of records? • Is your office clogged up with piles of paper? • As a rule, can you find a document generated two months ago in less than five minutes? What about a document generated by a colleague? • How much time does your colleagues or you spend looking for a document which add to your overall costs? • What would happen in the event of a fire or flood on your agency's premises? Does your office have an off-site storage of important records? • Does your office have a back-up system for computer-based records?
