ARMA International Educational Foundation annouonces new research report: "Mergers, Acquisitions, Divestitures and Closures: Records and Information Management Checklists"

Tweet Revised and updated with new research, this report continues to focus on a major problem for the RIM community.  As Executives form Merger and Acquisition teams, Due Dilligence processes are initiated, business consultants are retained, and Legal Counsel becomes involved, the Corporate RIM Program must reach out to accomplish new record keeping objectives while working within constrained resources and time frames. The goal of this report is to provide a ready reference that can serve as a starting point for Records Managers and their Programs in discussions of the record keeping challenges that will arise. By exploring issues in advance of problems occurring, organizations will be able to assure that records required for quality decision-making and long-term retention are identified and properly preserved.  The report written by John T. Phillips, CRM, FAI, CDIA+, and CDIA, can be downloaded from the AIEF website at: http://www.armaedfoundation.org/report3.html
