An actual Lexmark direct rep can provide FileNET and Kofax solutions. I would agree most reps in the copier and printer area wouldn't know or understand the difference between EDM and RM.

My company has been contacted by two or three of these outfits over the past few months. What interesting is that when you start asking serious questions, you quickly realize that they either 1) don't have a clue about RM or 2) are attempting to sell other services under the guise of records management. It is amazing the amount of squirming that can go on. One vendor in particular I spoke with (I won't mention any names to protect the innocent or guilty) knows as much about records management as my wife's two miniature schnauzers. Don't get me wrong; there are a number of excellent records management consultants in the profession, some of them are good friends of mine. But like any other business, there are always a few attempting to make a quick buck because of the latest trend. Bottom line - do your research and don't be afraid to ask tough questions.

Recently my director was approached by someone from Lexmark about records management; however it looked more like their focus was on asset lifecycle management, fleet (printer/copier) management, automating meter reads, etc. Does anyone know if they are getting into records management? I went out to their web site and all I found was printer related information. Help! Thanks!
