What is a Business Classification Scheme?
A Business Classification Scheme (BCS) is based on the concept and principles of functional classification. The BCS takes a top-down, enterprise-wide business focus. It is not a direct file plan. A file plan can be developed and mapped back to the BCS, automated through an EDRMS. Functional classification allows for more consistent capture and effective, efficient retrieval of records and information. It also assists in applying disposal, security and access to records. It is the foundational tool, upon which nearly all records and information management business rules, policies, procedures and other tools such as thesauri and disposal schedules are based.
