It continues to develop its expertise in this area and, through its research and related activities, closely monitors the trends and developments that are impacting the information and records management community today.

Independence and impartiality have also contributed to the success of Cimtech’s courses and events and attracted the endorsement of The National Archives for its annual public sector conference.
