The act of filing was seen in the Roman Empire when records were stung
on threads. This was how the modern term “File†was derived from a
latin word for thread , which is orderly arrangement of records that
gave rise to the basic methods of filing (alghabetic, subject,
chronological and geographical) that are found in existence today. With
this also came the procedures of filing, which includes inspecting,
coding, cross-referencing, sorting, and sorting. This enable the proper
storage of records in a manner that allows for easy and speedy retrieval
when needed.
Very few business ownership existed
within this period and tread secrets within their heads and few legal
documents. The emergency of various business ownerships and the
increasing size and scope of operations have made people to be very much
aware of happenings. Johson and kallaus (1974) had it that decades back
when the early man really had no need for much records still. But
recently, many organizations have grown in size and complexity to the
extent that they are industrially revolutionized. In order to catch up
with the ever-growing scientific business environment, organizations
have towed a new path towards the development of machines and
instruments to replace or enhence human manual dextenity.
So the modern office is undergoing some technological changes to meet
the increased need for information storage. Over the years, a gradual
technological development have been recorded in the area of filing
system with a variety of office equipment introduced. With the
application of this advancement to office, filing system answers to
inquires can easily and quickly be given by more keying in some codes or
commands to tract the required storage location to retrieve information
stored there.
Human judgment is still required to direct
the entire operation and put them into proper use. In agreement,
Denyer (1986) has to say that it is not the equipment in use that
determines a good result in filing system, rather the personnel who
apply the system should be able to use them in a beneficial way to
achieve maximum efficiency. Hence, for the achievement of higher
productivity in office operations at a lower cost, there is the need the
presence of adequate and capable records, personnel to ensure that they
are not properly used.
