Infographic: Digital Asset Management Definition & More Records Management Terms Explained
Nov 26, 2018 | Information Management, Records Management
There are many information and records management terms used today to describe various functions and disciplines under this umbrella, and often the terms overlap with one another. We’re also occasionally seeing new terms pop up, like federated records management, that further refine and/or redefine key functions and practices within the RIM space. We examine and define these key functions within the records and information management sphere and explain terms such as enterprise content management, records vs. information management and the definition of digital asset management.
