Why should you use ISO/TS 16175-2?
Records systems are information systems that capture, manage and provide access to records over time. Records systems can consist of technical elements such as software, and non-technical elements such as policy, procedures, and agents. Records systems as a whole include the policy, processes, software, and people that use and manage records. Records systems exist in many variations: in paper systems, in software specifically designed to meet functionality for managing records, or as business software that captures and manages records. ISO/TS 16175-2 is focused on the management of records in the digital environment, using software, but the general principles and considerations apply whatever the environment.

ISO/TS 16175-2 provides guidance on identifying requirements for the functionality of the software, including those for conversion and migration. ISO/TS 16175-2 provides guidance on communication, training, and change management. ISO/TS 16175-2 provides guidelines for post-implementation review.
