ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Design Criteria Standard for Electronic Records Management Software Applications

Imagine you have a lot of toys all over your room, but you want to keep them organized so you can find them easily. You might want to use a toy box to put them all in one place.

Adults have a lot of electronic files, like pictures, emails, and documents that they need to keep organized too. Electronic Records Management (ERM) software applications help them do that.

Design criteria standards are rules that ERM software developers have to follow when they make the software. These standards help make sure that the software is easy to use, keeps information safe, and does what it's supposed to do.

Imagine you are creating a toy box for your toys. You'll want to make sure it has a lid so nothing falls out. You'll also want to make sure it's big enough to hold all your toys. These are the design criteria for your toy box.

ERM software designers have similar design criteria standards. They need to make sure their software is secure, it can store lots of different kinds of electronic files, and it has a search function to help people find the files they need. By following these design criteria standards, the software designers can create an ERM software that is effective and easy to use for adults who need to keep their electronic files organized!
