I stumbled across an interesting article discussing the future of records management from CMS Wire. The article discusses how spending on records management will rise significantly. Here’s some good points the article makes:
“Recent events like the BP oil spill, the banking crisis and high profile government email leaks have focused executive-level attention on records management.”
“The priority given to records management over the past two year has increased in 80% of companies, with a corresponding planned increase in spending on records management software in over half those organizations.”
“In general, retention policies are quite good around office documents, but considerably less so around newer Enterprise 2.0 technologies or social media content.”
I recommend you check out this article at CMS Wire as well as the study it’s based on, they have some good graphs that help break down the data a bit.
