Greetings...
I need some assistance. I work as a marketing consultant with records
storage, shredding and related commercial RIM services. Recently I was
retained by a client to assist a client of theirs fix their file
situation.
Immediately I realized that this was a RIM/RM consultant thing and way
out
of my scope or league. Long story short, they agreed with me and hired
me
to find them one.
This is a mid sized corporation who does not employ a CRM, but do have a
number of people involved in the Records Management area. As such,
things
are a mess. Its not the day to day function necessarily that is the
issue,
it is all the related issues like storage bills, fear of shredding, not
even
having a system which has pushed the issue up the org chart to the
senior
management.
I have done my basic homework and realize that retention schedules,
record
series, filing systems and basic policy and procedure matter. I see the
need as being bigger than storage costs, but as a comprehensive
requirement
for all corporate records including the digital ones as well. And it
will
mean pain and change for the compnay that will result in huge benefits
over
the long haul.
But, I am not trying to be a RIM consultant nor do I want to be... I
just
need to know where to start to get this client the best one for their
needs
within the framework of their budget. To you its probably pretty
obvious,
but I am a marketing guy, not a RM guy.
So, I am coming to you on the listserve for help. Specifically...
1. Have any of you and your companies hired a RIM consultancy firm? If
you
have, I would like to interact with you offline if that is at all
possible.
2. Would you share with me the core issues you had when you made the
decision to use a consultant?
3. How did you choose a consultant? What did you learn during the
process?
What decision criteria did you use in making your choice?
4. Any other things I should be aware of, knowledgeable about before
moving
forward with requesting proposals from different consulting firms.
Would you be willing to talk to me? I would call you at a convenient
time
for you. You can respond directly offline to me at tom @
rimproinsider.com.
We can then determine a time to chat. I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance...
Cheers!
