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.
