Filestores first Irish Company to receive ISO 15489
First ISO 15489 Record Management Certification in Ireland
The Minister for Trade & Commerce, Mr Michael Ahern T.D., has presented Filestores, the Document Storage & Data Management Company with ISO 15489 at the Department of Enterprise, Trade & Employment. Filestores, who is also a part of DMG Services, is the first record management company in Ireland and one of the few in Europe to have received this ISO standard.
ISO 15489 is a new standard which promotes and spreads international best practice for records management. It focuses on the business principles behind records management, applying to records in any format or media, and shows how organisations can establish a framework to enable a comprehensive records management programme.
Commenting on the presentation the Minister said, “Managing information in the workplace is becoming increasingly important. Having a standard that benchmarks a company’s performance in records management will assist all levels of management in adhering to best practice. This assures customers that their information is not only easily retrievable but ensures that costs can also be managed efficiently.”
The General Manager for Filestores, Mr Cecil Ryan added, “This is further proof that Filestores systems, processes and people are the best in the business. We are proud to be leading the industry in with our high quality records management service.”
