➢ Technical infrastructure: Organizations may face difficulties in acquiring and

maintaining the necessary hardware, software, and technical infrastructure to support
an effective records management system. This can include issues related to

compatibility, scalability, data security, and system integration.

➢ Change management: Implementing new records management practices often requires

significant changes in workflows, processes, and employee behaviors. Resistance to
change, lack of awareness, and inadequate training can impede successful

implementation. Addressing these issues may require change management strategies,
stakeholder engagement, and comprehensive training programs.

system may require substantial financial and human resources. Organizations need to

allocate sufficient budgets, staff, and expertise to ensure effective implementation.
Limited resources and competing priorities can pose challenges in this regard.
