For agencies

Turn information management from a chore into something you can run.

For the people accountable for recordkeeping in a crown entity, school, or local authority, IAR replaces the annual scramble with a living register. One your stewards actually use, and one you can put in front of an auditor with confidence.

The challenge

The obligation is clear. The tooling to meet it usually is not.

01

The typical asset register is a spreadsheet that goes stale the week after it is finished, and is rebuilt from scratch the next time it is needed.

02

Disposal sits in the too-hard basket because mapping holdings back to the authority by hand is slow and error-prone.

03

Knowledge of what is held (and why it matters) walks out the door whenever a key person changes role.

04

The maturity assessment is an, at best, once-a-year event, disconnected from the day-to-day work that would actually lift the score.

What your organisation gains

One register your teams can actually work.

A single source of truth

One register replaces the scattered spreadsheets and SharePoint lists, giving every team the same trusted view of what you hold.

Stewardship that survives change

Assets are linked to organisational positions rather than named individuals, so accountability stays put when people move on.

Disposal you can defend

Every asset maps to a class in your disposal authority, with retention and disposal triggers visible and ready to evidence.

Issues and actions tracked

Capture risks and gaps against the assets they affect, assign owners, and follow each action through to resolution.

Maturity that improves

Run the Archives NZ Maturity Assessment, set targets, and watch your action plan lift the score over time.

Compliance built in

Meet Public Records Act 2005 obligations, with a Privacy Act 2020 record of processing alongside, in the same register.

The steward's day

Work the assets that are yours.

A steward signs in and sees only their holdings: what to classify, what is due for disposal, and what issues are open against their assets. No training in the whole system required.

  • Classify an asset against the disposal authority in a few clicks
  • See retention period, trigger, and disposal action at a glance
  • Raise and resolve issues without leaving the register
  • Hand over cleanly. The position keeps the accountability, not the person
