Sri Lanka’s public and private sector institutions are now outsourcing the maintenance of office files and records as these institutions have to deal with millions of documents. For most Sri Lankan companies and public sector institutions, hard copy documents and printed materials are the lifeline of business.
Yet, these valuable assets are often stored haphazardly, difficult to access, and vulnerable to loss or tampering. Many files must be kept for years creating volumes of paper that will only continue to grow, consuming valuable office space, said Faiz ur Rahman, Chairman of Bridges Worldwide (Pvt) Ltd and Bridges World Wide Records Management Solutions (BRMS), in an interview with Business Times.
Institutions such as the Department of Registration of Motor vehicles, Registrar of birth, marriage and death, Lands Registrars’ Department, Ministries, hospitals as well as private sector enterprises are facing problems in maintaining record rooms due to lack of space and manpower for proper maintenance of files and back office work. BRMS provides modern record room facilities for local private companies, including Asiri hospitals PLC Dialog, DHL, ICICI Bank and Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT), he added.
