Document Retention Policy Approvals

Document Retention Policy Approvals

Automation of the document retention policy approvals ensures that all documents are compliant and accurate.

Why automate?

All organizations are guided by document retention policies w.r.t to the time for which official records and documents must be retained before archival. Retention policies are unique for every organization, and need to be reviewed and approved accurately by appropriate stakeholders before they are implemented. Following these policies is essential to ensure regulatory and legal compliance. All documents related to retention require multiple rounds of review by the legal, compliance, and IT teams to ensure that they are compliant and aligned with the operational policies of the organization. Going through the approval process manually involves a lot of effort and is inefficient at scale. Here is where automation can make a difference to the efficiency of the workflow. A workflow solution like Cflow can eliminate all the tedious steps to ensure that all reviews and approvals are completed on time. Implement Cflow for smooth and timely approvals.
