Almost every organization needs to maintain information in the form of records. Records are nothing but documents or other content and data requiring retention over a period of time in a secure and reliable way in conformance with organization practices and regulatory standards. To manage records in an efficient and cost-effective way calls for the need of an intelligent records management system with features such as content discovery, content organization, content disposition, archiving, auditing, and so on.
This hour explores various features provided by SharePoint for records management and also briefly discusses various improvements in SharePoint 2010, as far as records management is concerned, over the earlier versions of SharePoint. The discussion concludes with a brief look at some of the new web content management features in SharePoint 2010 and the steps involved in creating a custom page layout.
