"Instant Messaging and Records Manager - A Real World Perspective"

Presented by: Russ Edelman, "Corridor Consulting"

Overview: The purpose of this presentation is to provide the ARMA Boston community with a current perspective on RM trends related to Instant Messaging (IM) technologies. The number of instant messages being exchanged is expected to soon eclipse email exchanges.

This presentation will introduce key IM technologies and how they are being impacted by RM initiatives.

The following agenda items are being recommended for this presentation:

The current state of Instant Messaging Technologies

Business Implications of IM and its impact on RM

The IM Players
