FWIW the author of this article is one Chris Hohman, recently of ARMA International. Money paragraph:
 
"There are three areas to address in order to keep the profession relevant. First, records managers must be flexible enough to change and adjust their skill set to perform advanced technology tasks in order to demonstrate competence. Second, they need to facilitate collaboration between business units to effectively manage organizational information. Third, they need to facilitate a culture of information management awareness."

In other words, I think it's a catchy title designed to get folks to click on it but the article itself is not nearly as controversial as the title would suggest. And David Steward's comment is very good as well. If you haven't read the original article, you should, as it's very good; I think the InContext blog/magazine is also a pretty good example of how a vendor (Perceptive Software in this case) publication can play it pretty straight and provide good content.
