Case Study: Historic Environment Scotland improves records compliance and data quality with RecordPoint

Historic Environment Scotland destroys large quantities of files and reviews 500,000 duplicates with RecordPoint

Historic Environment Scotland, a governmental agency responsible for Scotland's heritage, faced significant compliance challenges due to poor data management. With thousands of duplicate and untracked files, they needed a modern records management solution to comply with GDPR and the Public Records (Scotland) Act 2011. They chose to implement RecordPoint alongside Microsoft 365 and SharePoint to address these issues.

RecordPoint provided an automated solution that transformed how the agency managed its physical records. The implementation led to a complete revamp of their processes, significantly improving data quality and compliance capabilities. A major result was the ability to confidently destroy large quantities of files that were no longer of business value, with RecordPoint enabling the necessary logging and auditing for this disposal.
