Business Classification Design

Business classification systems, (BCS) and thesauri are tools to assist with the structure and retrieval of information. Specifically a BCS can help identify, categorise and label the specific functions and activities of any Organisation. A thesaurus can reduce retrieval response times by adding consistency, specificity and definition to the language used within the Organisation for information management. Although these are complimentary tools, they need not necessarily by combined by all Organisations.

Document Management Consultancy understands that each Organisation is unique, has its own functionality and language. We develop tools and systems using the uniqueness of each Organisation, by listening, observing and researching not only the Organisation, but also the industry within which the Organisation operates, to develop specific tools to enhance the information resource. We have the experience to provide specialist advice and assistance with regards to the development of these vital tools, and where required heavily liaise with the appropriate Archival/Recordkeeping authorities.

All resultant classification systems and thesauri comply with both AS/ISO 15489, - The Records Management Standard, and National Archives Australia’s DIRKS methodology.
