How IMS can help

IMS can guide you through the full cycle of record management implementation. We are familiar with Local Government Record Management Improvement Fund (LGRMIF) as well as State Archives and Records Administration (SARA) guidelines and procedures.

We can meet with you and your staff to walk you through the process. We offer free ½ day consulting during which we will

Discuss today's record management,
Walk through the grant application process,
Demonstrate an internet based record management program

In addition, IMS offers full consulting services to fully support the creation of a strong records management program through:

Records Inventory
