(Vocus) February 8, 2008 -- ARMA International is now accepting applications for the new groundbreaking Cobalt Award. This prestigious award recognizes organizations that have gone the distance to achieve excellence in managing their records and information enterprise-wide.

ARMA International will announce the winner of the Cobalt Award at its Annual Conference and Expo. The 2008 award will be presented in Las Vegas, Oct. 20, to the competing organization that has best demonstrated excellence through proper policies and procedures, financial impact, and accountability.

The award will only be given to those organizations that meet the highest standards of records and information management criteria identified by a group of experts. Applications will be assessed by a panel of judges who are experienced in the various aspects of information management.
