Abstract

The current exponential increase in the volume of information has transformed the businesses of both public and private companies. One of the initiatives to handle information is known as Digital Records Management (DRM). DRM is a management program with the primary aim is to replace paper records with those in digital format. The implementation of DRM calls for the identification of factors that could contribute to the successful implementation of the initiative. Previous studies failed to integrate the factors required for the implementation of DRM Thus, this paper seeks to identify the significant factors for ensuring the success of DRM implementation in Yemen since the country is still lagging behind in the implementation of such an endeavor. The study was carried out by means of literature review and also the opinion of experts in the area. The analysis of the literature showed that there are 10 factors paramount to the implementation of DRM initiative in the developing countries while the experts opined recommended the extracted factors.
