We’ve always seen records management as something that occurs within a content system. We’ve carefully ensured that records were stored in the Records Management system, in the correct place, with the correct category and retention schedule.

The current digital landscape is one of the most complex and challenging we have ever seen for compliance and records management practices. Apart from the exponential growth in the volume of information created every day, the fact that content is being stored everywhere is also contributing to the compliance problem.
The age of the centralized enterprise content management is long over as there is simply too much benefit in the wide range of modern use cases available in today’s collaboration platforms to go back to the centralized command and control structures of the past. The avalanche of content also makes it impossible to go back even if we wanted to. The challenge for us then as the stewards of information in the enterprise is how do we ensure that policy is enabled (and enforced if desired) across these many sources?
By modernizing their content management to enable stronger search, insight and governance via Federated Information and Records Management (FIRM) techniques, IT leaders can optimize user productivity and collaboration while maintaining compliance with their organizational obligations.
