Course description
You might have always wondered how and why important documents are stored and retrieved. Document control is a myriad of practices involving the creation, review, distribution, and disposal of documents in a systematic and verifiable manner. This also involves obtaining and retaining information from the original records and any other transaction, whether contractual, administrative, or otherwise.
In this era of thedigitalization of documents, the appropriate technology should be used to protect confidential documents adequately. One of these tools is cloud storage or computing, which allows all the files of an organization to be uploaded to the cloud, thus, making access, storage, and retrieval easier for those in charge of the documents, provided they have security access to the records, irrespective of where they may be. The participant benefits of this technology are substantial compared to the conventional document storage and control method.
Document Control Procedure outlines the structure and process of amending, approving, and publicizing the documents in an organization and tracks how these documents are updated from time to time.
