RIM (Records Information Management)

Records Information Management (RIM) is the organized process of handling an organization's records throughout their lifecycle. It involves creating, storing, maintaining, and disposing of documents and data—whether paper or digital—in a way that ensures they are accessible, secure, and compliant with legal and organizational requirements. Effective RIM helps businesses find information efficiently, protects sensitive data, and reduces costs associated with storage and management. Overall, it ensures that valuable information is managed systematically to support operational needs and regulatory obligations.
