Technology: Challenges for Records Managers
By Heather Rice — Senior Research Analyst
Records managers have a love-hate relationship with technology. Managing records today is vastly different than just a decade ago, and as technology advances, it will continue to evolve.

Dance With the One that Brought You: Developing a Successful Executive Sponsor
By Jake Naylor — Consultant
The scene is as old as time: after a long courtship, two people find themselves in a life-changing moment. One gets down on bended knee, looks up into the other’s eyes, and asks the question they’ve both been waiting for: “Will you do me the honor of being the executive sponsor of our company’s records inventory and retention schedule revision?” Doves are released, music fills the air, and the two ride off into the sunset after a breathless, “YES!”

Refresh your news feed and you will often see yet another company has become the victim of a data leak. Today, most companies are storing sensitive information electronically, making data leaks a major concern. Information security is becoming more important than ever.
Data Leak vs. Data Breach
