Document Retention Schedule (DRS)
Organize, control, and preserve your information from its source
The Records Retention Schedule (RRS) is the technical and regulatory instrument that defines how long documents must be kept at each stage of their lifecycle (active, central, or historical) and what their final disposition should be (preservation, selection, or disposal).
At Docudigital , we design, validate, and implement RRSs that comply with Law 594 of 2000 , the agreements of the National General Archive (AGN) , and your organization's functional structure.
A well-implemented RRS is the backbone of records management because it regulates the creation, processing, and preservation of documents in a systematic and traceable manner.
- Document control and streamlining
- Compliance with the General Archives Law
- Space and resource saving
- Transparency and access to information
- Base for digitization and custody
- Preservación de la memoria institucional
From diagnosis to total control of the document cycle
Comprehensive methodology for the development and implementation of TRD
Our process combines organizational analysis, archival regulations, and technical support to build a reliable and applicable instrument.
- Institutional diagnosis: analysis of organizational structure, functions, process map and collection of documentary information
- Identification of series and subseries: grouping of documents according to institutional functions and activities
- Definition of retention periods: determination of years of conservation in the management and central archive, and definition of the final disposition (conservation, selection or elimination)
- Construction of the instrument: preparation of the table according to the structure of the AGN, technical validation with the Internal Archive Committee
- Official approval: formal presentation to the Committee and, if applicable, to the National Archives
- Implementation: socialization, training and practical application in the departments and workflows
