STAMFORD, Conn., March 5, 2008 – Pitney Bowes Management Services, Inc. (PBMS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Pitney Bowes Inc. today officially launched its Records and Information Management (RIM) Consulting Service to help organizations address concerns about records systems controls, risk mitigation, storage management and cost reduction.

Robert Mattis, vice president, Business Development, PBMS, noted that there are several key factors that are driving increased attention to records and information management in businesses today.

"A growing number of customers are facing numerous challenges in developing, implementing and maintaining efficient and effective records management strategies. This is due to recent amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, an accelerating transition from paper to electronic records processing, auditing to track compliance with regulatory requirements, and the need for strategic planning and direction," Mattis stated. "Also, corporations are more dynamic now than 10 years ago, with facility relocations and resizings. Mergers, acquisitions and divestitures are also having a significant impact on how companies effectively retain and manage records."

"Through PBMS' RIM Consulting Service, we can provide an effectively designed program to help businesses enhance responsiveness, increase customer satisfaction, ensure compliance with industry regulations, demonstrate due diligence and improve overall access to information. PBMS' RIM Consulting Service provides an in-depth analysis that expands our Document Processing Solutions offering," he added.
