Abstract

Cloud and social platforms have profound consequences for records management, in several ways. The chapter looks at and brings out the impact/effect of the cloud and social platforms on records management. Cloud computing embodies a deep change, a modification in how organizations store and manage information, the complete implications of which are not yet recognized. In the short term, it is suspected the cloud will make it cheaper to identify these implications and more scalable (and in many cases, more secure and stable). Additionally, it is undeniable that social media has become a pillar of modern-day society. Organizations and government bodies, therefore, are witnessing a surge in the volume of content of valuable information which they now have to manage and engage with over social media platforms unlike the management of physical documents through electronic records management regulations and tools. In the long run, however, there is no total idea about what things like changing from one provider to another or pulling content back on premises, or of doing e-discovery will do to records management. How would things be done with the application or adoption of the two platforms? What would they cost?
