The Strengths And Weaknesses Of The OAIS

The procedures that need to be followed when retrieving information for paper based information consist of finding out whether you are allowed access to the information, finding out where the information is stored if you are allowed access to it, looking for the information, taking it from its storage place remembering how it was stored for when the information is to be put back. The procedures that need to be followed when deleting information for paper based information consist of finding out if the information is confidential or not normally something that is confidential has address or names on it, if the information is confidential then it needs to be cross-cut shredded if the information is not confidential then it can be shredded normally. The procedures that need to be followed when archiving information for electronic based information consist of checking to see if the information contains legal information or long-term business obligations, checking to see if there is more than one copy of the information, if there is more than one copy of the information check to see if the extra copies can be deleted, if the

The different information systems are filing cabinets where hard copies are stores or electronically which can be saved changes can

United States grouped with some European nations to form OEEC(Organisation for European Economic Cooperation)which was done to provide means under the Marshall Plan to reform Europe after the second world war. This organisation preceded OECD which took over the former in 1961.OECD was formed with the purpose of setting up strong economies in its member nations ,bring about improvement in efficiency, expansion of free trade etc.The initial 30 some countries decided to expand their network beyond a transatlantic organisation to a global group of nations who would concentrate in bringing about development in the emerging economies and work towards free market systems. This has allowed the organisation to move their focus to bigger issues which

data are stored as files on internal devices (like hardware) and shared/managed through intranets and HRIS; this include electronic appraisal forms and self service systems.

Firstly, the model should be one that the OD practitioner thoroughly understands and is at ease with

Technology has developed systems that provide an aggregated and historical view of client data. These advanced electronic processes provide avenues that best serve each client, as well as simplifying the work of human service professionals. With advanced technology, individual physical files that in the past were stored in huge shelves in an office can now be stored online in a central database, or on an external hard drive. A central storage file online provides more space for client data as well as a central location where information can be easily accessed by numerous human service branches and departments.

Organising- it is important that information which collected is organized and stored in the correct way- either paper or electronic.

The open systems model can be used to diagnose these problems, identify their causes, find the best solutions, and provide recommendations (Harrison, 2004).

In chapter 11 Alexander Stille, explains about how past technology can retrieve the images and data more than the ones you can retrieve from modern technology. All this great information from the old technology is being refurbished to the newer technology where it can lead to an obstacle because if the data are not transferred correctly the information from the past can deteriorate. In the past, paintings that are hundreds of years old still look as new today as if they were painted yesterday but, in modern times we will save it in a smaller space that deteriorates very quickly. Our government and military in the past have tried to make the records digital but, the major problem is to restore records and emails. Military records were stored

The two main methods of storage are manual and electronic, both methods having their own benefits. The data can be used for analysis to assist the organisation fulfil its future goals and overall vision. All data must be stored in such a way that it complies with the regulations put in place by the government. This not only protects the organisation, but each and every member of the public.

When value is attributed to such archival records or documented data), it should be retained in their original form. The reason for preserving records and documented data in their original form can be explained by the fact that when such documents have been attributed value, they are archivally best accepted in their original form only. Therefore, value of archival documents does not stand relative. However, the concept of attributing value to the archival documents is relative since the opinions may vary from one archivist to another, from one generation to

Information collected digitally from computers or media storage applications has protocols that need be followed during the process. The order of collecting digital information mostly determines the life expectancy of information collected (Eoghan, 2004, p. 74). There is a need to change information

d. Did the users have enough skills to operate the system? e. Where and how would the asset register be kept and updated? 1.6 JUSTIFICATION OF THE STUDY. The proposed study was recommended as it was of paramount importance to organizations which had accepted and undertook the information technology era into their businesses to have good and reliable ITAMS. The previous excel spreadsheets which were used in recording assets were highly prone to errors and presented a lot of paperwork, which required large storage space, and thus inappropriate and inefficient for the organization to achieve optimum performance.
