Legal Requirements for Information Technology Systems PDF

When an organization develops an advanced records system utilizing technologies such as microfilm, computer and optical disk, legal questions can be expected. Will courts permit their use? Can the original records be destroyed after they have been reproduced? When a regulation specifies the creation of particular records, must a particular form of the record be used?

This book was written to end the guesswork. You can now refer to the text, as well as to the extensive appendixes to review the laws. You can now design systems that comply with the law.

The book analyzes the legal issues affecting records and record technologies:

• Original Records.
• Microfilm and Duplicates.
• Computer Records.
• Optical Disk and Electronic Imaging Systems.

The book addresses the legal issues affecting each area from four perspectives:

• Evidence.
• Regulation.
• Government.
• International.

The appendices provide the full text of several hundred of the most important laws that affect information technology systems.

Stop guessing about the new electronic imaging systems or whether your records system complies with the law. Use advanced records technology to help your organization. But do it right!
