Do you think there is a future in records management profession?
This is just one of the questions i keep asking myself every time i am doing my routine duties in this demanding profession. When i decided to pursue this profession, i knew i was going to meet more and more challenges especially those coming directly from other departments who do not appreciate the importance of records management.
even though i have encountered several professional drawbacks, i am still convinced that due to the changes in technology and the continued importance of managing paper records in all organizations coupled with the increasing awareness to top management about the importance of maintaining proper records for every activity, there is surely a great future for records managers.
it is high time that professionals from every country form a professional organization to help themselves in marketing their profession as well as improving their skills through sharing of ideas.
What do you think, is there a future in records Management?

Regardless of all the challenges we face in the field of records management, the future is bright, several changes are taking place and people are beginning to realize the value of records. Gone are the days when records managers were taken as people handling residue of activities from mainstream departments like finance, human resource,production sales and marketing etc.The development & adoption of ISO 15489 document was one of the greatest milestone in the field of records management. It laid down guidelines for the establishment of effective records management systems.
