Taking a holistic approach to Records and Information Management (RIM) can help companies mitigate risk and achieve compliance, according to a new white paper from Pitney Bowes Management Services, Inc. (PBMS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE: PBI).

The white paper, entitled “Achieving Compliance Through Records and Information Management: Answering Today’s Regulatory Requirements Efficiently,” notes that mitigating risk and achieving compliance is more complex that ever before because of:

  • new regulations and audit requirements;
  • the need to manage both digital and paper records;
  • internal records/information management resource and knowledge gaps;
  • the lack of enterprise standards and training;
  • enforcement and auditing needs which continue to grow, and
  • internal cost pressures that limit staff and capital investments.

“Industry best practices for RIM require a holistic point of view, including a clear vision, a risk assessment, and an implementation roadmap that outlines the most effective way to execute a comprehensive RIM program,” said Elizabeth Trumbull, managing director, RIM, PBMS. “Organizations should look to an outside provider who understands the complexities surrounding RIM compliance before embarking on such a program.”

The white paper cites the three major drivers to creating a corporate information governance policy – compliance obligations, business needs, and discovery and litigation readiness – and describes the overall scope a company must consider for each driver. It also delves into areas such as:

  • governing and managing corporate information;
  • developing a RIM solution;
  • keys to compliance

In addition, case studies of successful RIM implementations are presented.
