CA today announced CA Records Manager r12, the latest version of its industry-leading solution to help enterprises automate record-keeping processes, and which is designed to give users faster access to information, save time and money, and help facilitate compliance with regulatory requirements and organisational policies.
This new version delivers increased functionality with its records retention and disposition module, a localisable Web client and added features to enhance the user experience.
CA Records Manager r12 is also certified by the United States Department of Defence (DoD) against the newly updated version 3 of the US DoD 5015.2 standard, which provides for greater data security and integrity.
Due to its long history of early and successful standards adoption, CA was among the first to be invited, and the first to respond to the challenge certifying against the new, more stringent standard.
According to leading analyst firm, Gartner, the worldwide records management market was worth approximately $400 million in software licence and maintenance revenue in 2007, an increase of 30% from 2006. This market is forecast to have a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25% between 2008 and 2013.*
"One of the most important new features in Records Manager r12 is the creation of an enhanced retention module that is an interface to perform all administrative tasks related to retention and disposition," said Andrea Lodolo, National Manager: Technology Services at CA Africa. "Additionally, this release delivers significant enhancements focused on creating transparency, declaring records more efficiently, improving the user experience and applying policy on all content across the enterprise. For instance, new scripted e-mail notification capabilities are designed to send an e-mail notification to selected recipients when your specific defined criteria are not met within a specified time frame."
"As South Africa continues to integrate itself with the rest of the world's economic communities, we are expected to keep up with regulatory compliance, and having access to market leading products that already have a proven track record in certification and compliance can only benefit local companies," Lodolo adds.
