Cohasset and ARMA International released the results from their seventh, bi-annual survey of professionals concerning their Records and Information Management practices.  The majority of parpticipants in the 2011 survey classify their job function as Records Management (76%).  I previously blogged about the 2009 survey results (see blog posting at this link.) 

2011 is almost over, and information management professionals are still eagerly awaiting word about specific regulations that will be enacted to support to the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (a.k.a. Dodd-Frank).

I was reading an article this morning on InsideCousel about Auto Classification of Records.  The main point of the article was that employees cannot keep up with the amount of electronic content created each year if they need to manually classifiy records.  While not perfect, auto classification may allow for "good enough" retention with little effort by employees for most organizations.

I had the privilege of being the featured speaker in a recent AIIM webinar titled "Email Management for Today's Modern Business Needs".
