Research
News
Based
on the very positive response from the records and information
management community, the Foundation supported an
update to
John Phillips' research project:
Mergers,
Acquisitions, Divestitures and Closures: Records and Information
Management Checklists
A study by John T. Phillips, CRM,
FAI, CDIA+
"In
the midst of this organizational and economic turmoil [created by
mergers and acquisitions] often resides a Records Manager striving
diligently to assure records issues are thoroughly, professionally and
cost effectively addressed. M&A activities, along
with any
potentially resulting litiation, electronic records discovery and
document production issues, will test the will, resolve and dedication
of any professional. Hopefully the insights and checklists in
this report will aid both Records Managers and the M&A
professionals with whom they will be working to preserve and retain
records appropriately." __from the introduction.
