Retention Schedule Consulting

Information Requirements consults in the areas of law, records retention, and information management. We specialize in legal research and development of records retention schedules. We probably complete more records retention schedules each year than any other consulting firm. All retention schedules are supported by complete and accurate legal research and analysis. Recent projects involve many well-known and Fortune 500 global companies.

Information Requirements also provides consulting services related to the legality of optical disk and other types of record media. We receive numerous requests for information and analysis from legal counsel, potential users and vendors world-wide related to legal compliance of records and information management programs with state and federal law. We also provides consulting services in other areas of records management on request.

Mr. Skupsky serves as Director of Legal Research for all records retention projects performed by Iron Mountain Consulting Services and Information Requirements performs all legal research and records retention work for those projects.

Our consulting clients benefit from our services in the following ways:

We have extensive experience in preparing records retention programs and researching legal requirements for records.

We have already completed records retention projects for several Fortune 500 companies and other small and large organizations in numerous fields.

We utilize proprietary, state-of-the-art computer software to develop the retention program quickly and accurately.

We maintain and regularly update our database of laws related to records retention requirements. We can, therefore, devote more attention to the special industries and activities in which our consulting clients operate, rather than the simpler, common laws such as tax, employment, contracts, etc.

We develop retention schedules based upon The Skupsky Retention Method developed by our president, Donald S. Skupsky. This method has evolved over 15 years in actual retention programs. Mr. Skupsky is considered the foremost national authority on the subject.

Our retention schedules contain adequate legal research, do not require revision when the organization reorganizes, contain consistent and accurate retention periods, rarely have to be changed even when laws change, and can quickly be updated.

Our retention schedules are effectively maintained by our clients after the project ends. We are always available to help after the project conclusion, and we help the client to attain self-sufficiency in the program development. Our Retention Manager software enables the client to update their records retention program and legal research, and makes you them dependent on us going forward.

We can provide our clients with the custom records retention legal research in computer-readable form that enables the client to use the information and retention schedules as part of an existing content management system. Also, we can provide the data in a form compatible with our Retention Manager software so the client will be able to update the data and reports in the future.
