摘要：It is a records manager’s dream come true: executives are finally paying more than lip service to information management. A senior vice-president has even made recent inquiries to your supervisor about the records management program’s status.

The IT department has even invited you and your colleagues to discuss Web records and the company’s electronic communications policy, as they have finally recognized that storage and retention are not synonymous. Employees regularly contact your department with questions about what company records they need to keep and where they should keep them. Who could have predicted it?
