Records and Information Management Players Join Forces To Boost Protection of Their Clients' Private Data
PaperLite Company LLC and WesternIM Inc. to Help Ensure Regulatory Compliance
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Oct. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- PaperLite Company LLC, an information management services company based in Scottsdale, Arizona and Western Information Management Inc. (WesternIM), a Canadian-based leader in the records and information management industry, today announced that their companies have entered into an agreement by which PaperLite will sell WesternIM's WISPIR software-as-a service (SaaS) platform in the U.S., along with WesterIM's professional records management consulting services.
The Companies' complementary capabilities promise to better protect customer data and meet new, stringent privacy mandates while simplifying the records management process.
"One of the major inhibitors to progress in the records management sector is the enormous inventory of legacy paper records," said Herb Martin, PaperLite founder and CEO.
"Organizational neglect and indifference over many years have resulted in huge amounts of stored paper documents that managers cannot track or even account for in most instances. This predicament is deeply problematic for many companies today in the face of mandates for compliance in connection with new data privacy legal regulations," said Martin.
WISPIR enables a quick and orderly physical-records inventory of all organizational documents and electronic files, many of which today contain sensitive personal data that must now be better organized, secured and protected according to these new mandates. WISPIR can aggregate meta-data tagging from multiple physical locations and many disparate document management systems. The comprehensive result presented by WISPIR can then be used to develop more efficient records disposition plans and retention schedules.
"We look forward to working closely with WesternIM and the WISPER service," said Martin, "The WISPIR value proposition will resonate with our clients and become an integral part of our service offering. Plus, WesternIM's deep project experience will expand our market significantly."
WesternIM President Rick Stirling agrees. "There is a synergistic fit between our two companies," he said. "The WISPIR service has been integral to our success with numerous large organization in the energy, municipal government, First Nations, higher education, and utility sectors. We release the service into the US market through PaperLite with the impetus of the significant validation that we have already received in Canada."
