I was on the ARMA Program Committee c. 12-13 years ago, can't remember
which conference but not important. Someone on the PC suggested that we
needed to cover ALL information as part of RIM. I thought that was an awful
idea because "all" would have to include info sec, privacy, info
exploitation, web content management, email management, data loss
prevention, and a bunch of other things that were not then, and IMO are not
now, within the remit of most records managers/records programs. I also
asked whether that all-inclusive vision of RIM would extend to print
composition/management/output, COLD/ERM, and BI - and now would also
include processes around document control, engineering drawing management,
big data, content analytics, GIS, and others. The looks I got from the
group....

In other words, I don't think IG is lipstick on a pig. I also don't think
*most* records managers do all of these things which I would include under
IG. Contra ARMA's IGP certification, I do not see IG as simply RM under
another name nor something that will be led by most records managers. So if
you are doing all of these things, congrats - you need a new title and a
pay raise. If your team isn't doing a significant majority of them, you
aren't doing IG, you're doing RM or maybe RIM.
