Yet, organizations that have established best practices and employed the technologies available to dramatically streamline the task of classification are realizing tremendous short-term and long-term benefits. Focus on the exciting progress and the beneficial impacts of automated classification methods that are available in the marketplace today. Your content holds the keys to driving your agency mission. Properly identifying content as it arrives is critical to initiating and driving the right business processes, making the right decisions, providing accurate measurement and feedback on business performance and meeting your business objectives. In today's world, the sources, types, and volumes of content are growing astronomically. At the same time, the requirements governing records management to document compliance with business rules and regulation, as well as insure preservation of official content are becoming more exacting and mandatory. Effective means, processes and best practices for classifying content significantly impact the effectiveness and power of both active content and its subsequent classification and management as official records of your business or agency.
