The intermesh of records management principles and Enterprise Architecture: a framework for Information Governance in the Swedish context

Abstract

Summary To capture and control records generated in complex processes, involving many different actors in fluid constellations, organizations need tools that extends the range of traditional records management practices. Records management needs to be incorporated in more encompassing information governance regimes and integrated with the organizations' overall management systems. The authors argue that the intermesh of records management principles and Enterprise Architecture is a fruitful approach in the development of coherent information governance regimes. The paper presents a framework for information governance based on records management principles and Enterprise architecture and a methodological approach how to develop and implement information governance solutions by integrating records management with Enterprise Architecture using agile methods, Design thinking and User Experience Design (UX). The work is based on literature reviews and modelling workshops and is a result of an on-going development project aiming at methodological development to improve records management practice. of project
