Knowledge, Information, and Digital Records Management

Data and Information Lifecycle Management Training Course

Every file, dataset, email, contract, and report has a lifecycle. But most organizations treat information like it lives forever, or disappears when it becomes inconvenient. This course will guide you through managing your data and information effectively from creation to disposal.

Do you know what information you have, where it lives, who owns it, and how long it should be kept? Can you prove integrity, authenticity, and version control when decisions are questioned? This course is an essential guide for professionals who must ensure information is governed, trusted, accessible, protected, and disposed of correctly, not just accumulated.

About the Course

Organizations today demand not just data, but usable, reliable, and compliant information. Whether you're running programs, serving customers, managing procurement, or supporting audits, you need to demonstrate control over your information assets. This course turns the abstract concept of data and information lifecycle management into a practical operational discipline.

We won't turn you into lawyers or IT architects, but you'll become a confident lifecycle manager. You'll learn to classify information properly, apply retention rules, reduce duplication and version confusion, enforce access and security basics, improve data quality and traceability, and support audits, investigations, and governance. This hands-on, tool-oriented course is tailored for organizations balancing access, compliance, cost, and risk.

This course is designed for:
