As technologies have developed, the amount of information being gathered, stored, retrieved and communicated has increased tremendously. Over the last few decades, how this information is being processed, stored, retrieved and communicated has been greatly revolutionized.

With the arrival of this computer revolution and the information age, the quest for office automation and a “paperless” society has brought along with it many uncertainties and challenges to business organizations.
