Both. I do not see it as an "either or" proposition. Now some of the old timers dont need it but I think if you plan to hang around this profession another decade or two I would plan on getting some additional electronic certification in addition to the CRM. The ERM-M would be ideal, giving you a broad view of the corporate RIM environment. Each certification covered areas not in the other. Broaded your credentials a bit.
With each certification, you will be able to count continuing education credits to the other certification.
The CRM will take a bit longer but I think it pays in the long term.

Subject: [RM] ERM vs CRM professional certification
I have been a Records Manager Consultant for about 12 years at a fortune
100 company but have never taken the CRM exam. Why you might ask, I don't
like the exam. I think it is very antiquated and many of the topics are
not relevant to what I do. Within the past 1.5 years I have focused 100%
of my job towards electronic records managment. I am currently taking the
ERM courses through AIIM and plan to get certified. As I review the job
postings for Records Managers one of the prerequisits is always a CRM
certification. Now that electronic records management software is
available to the Records Manager and Sarbanes Oxley is forcing companies to
properly managing their records, which certification do you think will be
the better choice?
