RIM Poster

RIM Poster 2009!

The 2009 addition to ARMA International’s line of internal RIM promotion materials is the “Down the Drain Poster.” Saving money is more critical in today’s business environment than ever. Help show your organization that managing records and information can be a powerful way to improve productivity and save!

The figure comes from IDC’s “Hidden Costs of Information Work” white paper which suggests that each employee spends 3.5 hours per week every year searching for information they can’t find. At an average information-worker salary, that comes to $5,251 per person in your organization. That sends a powerful message about the value of good information management!

Posters are printed 18 x 24. For more details or to purchase the poster, please click here.

Adding your logo and information to the poster allows you to turn this RIM promotional poster into a corporate motivational poster to help drive your message home! For details about purchasing the customized corporate version, click here.
