Move beyond fragmented records

One governed environment from capture to disposition.

01

Reduce filing inconsistency

Guide users through department, file-plan and sensitivity selections while the system stamps the required metadata automatically.

02

Make compliance visible

See POPIA-flagged records, upcoming dispositions, audit events and metadata-quality findings from one operational dashboard.

03

Defend every decision

Apply Microsoft Purview retention and sensitivity labels, enforce lifecycle controls and retain a comprehensive audit history.

Core capabilities

Everything your records team needs to operate with confidence.

Purpose-built controls bring classification, governance, compliance and reporting into a single SharePoint experience.

Structured file plan

Navigate a hierarchical classification tree, search codes and offices, and maintain an institution-wide filing structure.

Records register

Search, filter, sort, edit and export the master records register with controlled status progression.

Guided document filing

Upload documents to the correct library and folder with automated metadata, ownership and record-number stamping.

Purview integration

Apply retention and sensitivity labels through Microsoft Purview and synchronise disposition status back to the register.

Disposition management

Identify due and overdue records, review queue status and connect authorised users to Purview Disposition Review.

Quality and audit

Surface missing metadata, invalid classifications and orphaned entries while logging all material application actions.

Controlled records lifecycle

A clear path from registration to defensible disposition.

Forward-only lifecycle controls help protect the integrity of every record while keeping users focused on the next authorised action.

1

Register

Create the record entry and assign a unique record ID.

2

File

Upload, stamp metadata and apply Purview labels.

3

Declare

Formally declare the document as an institutional record.

4

Close

Close the record when its active business use has ended.

5

Dispose

Complete the approved action through Microsoft Purview.

Compliance built into everyday work

Turn POPIA and PAIA obligations into visible, manageable controls.

Akili EDRMS automatically derives POPIA applicability from document sensitivity and security classifications, then makes the resulting records available for monitoring and reporting.

  • Automatic POPIA flagging
  • Department and classification breakdowns
  • Exportable reporting for PAIA requests
  • Role-based access via SharePoint groups
