The answer is, "It depends." There are no cookie cutter solutions.
One alternative to consider is linking RM to the General Counsel
Office. That is one of the few offices that looks at the big picture
and has responsibility for all departments. The GCO is dependent on RM
for records production in the discovery phase of litigation. A GCO that
wants to limit the organization's legal risk will make sure that the RM
department is staffed and funded well enough to insure that the
retention schedule is accurate, comprehensive, and enjoys near universal
participation from the staff.
So in an organization with significant legal risk, consider attaching RM
to the GCO. In this situation, IT dance to the GCO's tune.
Also, sometimes IT is undervalued, underfunded, and confined to the
basement until something goes wrong.
