A Beginner's Guide To Knowing When To Hire An IM Consultant :
It takes you more than five minutes to find a document
Your organization has never thrown out or deleted any of its information
Nobody is in charge of disposing of files that have reached their retention period
Most people do not know the difference between an official record or a vital record
Most people cannot define the term "official record"
Nobody knows what a "retention period" is
There are multiple copies of a document and you are unsure which one is the most current
There are multiple repositories of information
You have boxes of hardcopy information, but no clue what is in the boxes, nor when it might have been created, nor where the box even came from
Your industry is regulated
Your company gets audited and the thought of these audits makes you break into a cold sweat
You have lots of electronic files with extremely vague titles (i.e 2304923048.pdf or folders called "Greg's Stuff")
If you are unable to find information that you need, it's not completely clear who you would ask in order to track it down
You have lots of hardcopy information in peoples' offices that is undocumented
You hate Sharepoint and find it confusing, vague and patently unhelpful
