HERs make extensive use of computers for a range of purposes, for example word-processing packages are used to prepare letters and reports. HER databases hold information about monuments, site-monitoring records and details of development-control processes. Image-handling software, technical drawing packages, GIS and internet browsers are all also used.
HERs are information services that provide access to comprehensive and dynamic resources relating to the historic environment of their locality for planning and development control as well as public benefit and educational use ([English Heritage 2010|Bibliography#English Heritage 2010|target='_blank']).

HER databases and GIS provide an invaluable tool for information management and retrieval and act as an index to the HER's other information holdings; its collections of maps, photographs, books and other documents (see also [Part D|SectionD.Intro]). However as the dependence on digital resources increases, so the need to implement and refine appropriate data standards is amplified. This is especially the case when there is an expectation to import or link to data from other agencies, or if there is a desire to make information available to third parties. Data Standards are covered in more detail in subsequent sections ([B.6|SectionB.6], [B.7|SectionB.7], [C.7|SectionC.7], [C.10|SectionC.10] and [E.4|SectionE.4]).
As information services, HERs make full use of a range of computer software from databases and GIS, to scanning and image handling software, as well as word processing and spreadsheet software. HERs are generally heavily dependent on digital resources. Databases and GIS hold information about monuments and development control processes. Fieldwork reports will usually be held as digital copies which may be held in a digital document storage software and linked to the HER database.

HERs will often still have physical documents, book and maps which need to be stored, though storage space for many HERs is continually being reduced, putting even greater emphasis on scanning and other digital solutions. This increases the need for appropriate data standards. Data Standards are covered in more detail in subsequent sections ([B.7|SectionB.7], [B.8|SectionB.8], [B.9|SectionB.9], [C.7|SectionC.7], and [C.10|SectionC.10]).
