Freedom of Information
Providing and managing access to appropriate information
All levels of government are being asked to be more transparent and responsive to requests for information.
The implications of Freedom of Information (FOI) — allowing specific government information to be freely available to the public — are enormous.
Government agencies are required to know what information they hold, what is exempt from disclosure, and what is releasable. In addition, agencies are required to track requests and record their responses. Since many requests relate to historical information, the need to locate, track and manage physical documents cannot be underestimated.
TRIM Context 6 continues to provide a solution that will meet the demands of Freedom of Information and comply with the ISO 15489 RM standard. The continued support of TRIM Context’s powerful Records Management philosophy and new functionality enables government to meet the demands of Freedom of Information requests. In managing these requests, TRIM Context 6 enables you to:
- Effectively locate hard-copy or electronic documents quickly and reliably
- Track, monitor and report on the progress of each request
- Pro-actively publish content to the web from any document or record
- Record your request decision and relate this to the initial enquiry
- View which information is exempt or releasable under relevant FOI legislation
- Capture, track, and monitor e-mail requests
