Business challenge
Records and Information Management (RIM) is complex — your information is growing rapidly and improperly managed records increase your costs for discovery, litigation and storage. In fact, did you know that 76 percent of organizations say they have a legally credible retention schedule, yet only 50 percent of those have implemented that schedule enterprise-wide? That’s not entirely surprising considering 54 percent of most organizations have no records and information management administrative support and very limited staff.

The reality is that while the majority of organizations may have a RIM program or paper many still struggle due to resource limitations or lack of support from upper management to implement their program to a point where it would pass a regulatory audit.
How this affects you
The complexity of today’s records management environment demands expertise in indexing and tracking, retention schedule application, legal-hold processes, security and privacy. Increasingly, that expertise requires unifying those initiatives consistently across both physical and electronic records. It is important to select onsite staff that not only match the culture of your organization, but also possess the level of knowledge, experience and technical expertise you need for RIM program.
What if you could...
- Rapidly place screened, experienced Records Manager professionals in your office?
- Gain immediate expertise onsite for managing your electronic records as well as offsite and onsite physical records?
- Be prepared for regulatory audits and legal requests by demonstrating better access, discovery and auditable tracking?
- Reduce litigation risk and strengthen defensibility with program-driven compliance?
- Make your employees more self-reliant when it comes to managing business records?
