The United Nations is committed to delivering responsive and accessible services through improved use of information technology.

Business conducted in the electronic environment needs to be documented appropriately to meet a variety of operational, accountability and community requirements. This involves electronic recordkeeping, or making and keeping electronic records. Improved electronic recordkeeping is essential to the success of the U.N.'s goals for information management and technology.

ARMS has developed the following range of more detailed guidelines, manuals, training and other support to help agencies implement this policy.
