It always comes back to this, doesn't it:  how to convince Executive Management, AND the corporate entity as a whole, that records management applies beyond the sheets of paper in a box?

Subject: Re: Forms Placement On Retention Schedule

You've hit the nail on the head for me on this issue.  I've heard the argument 
countless times:  it's electronic now, and things are different.  Yes, it is true 
that things are different given the big changes to how we use information in 
electronic form vs. paper - but principles of management apply just as much if 
not even MORE, given the greater volume and complexity.  It's been said too 
many times in a variety of ways:  "It's too big to handle, so let's leave it a big 
mess until magical new software arises to clean it up."  Arrgh.

But I think I'm preaching to the choir.  Sorry.
