Iron Mountain to host free webcast on the impact social media could
have on how companies manage their information
BOSTON, Jan 06, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Iron
Mountain Incorporated (NYSE: IRM), the information management
company, will host on Jan. 13 a free webcast on the future of records
and information management (RIM), featuring a video presentation by
bestselling author and business futurist Geoffrey Moore and a live
question and answer session hosted by Iron Mountain Executive Chairman
Richard Reese.
Moore's presentation, originally given at the ARMA 2010 conference on
Nov. 8, contends that an information management revolution is underway
for enterprises, as social media and consumer technology applications
like instant messaging and video conferencing enter the workplace.
Through these new channels, what Moore calls "systems of engagement,"
information moves in and out of organizations via multiple access
points. The dynamic nature of how this data moves throughout an
organization is vastly different than the static databases and other
"systems of record" that have predictable and easily managed patterns of
access and movement. This creates new challenges for records and
information managers who must apply rules and governance to this data.
In this webcast, moderated by Iron Mountain's Reese, Moore will discuss
how this information management revolution is transforming records
management into a strategic business concern and changing the job
responsibilities for records managers, general counsels and IT leaders.
