IMA’s consultants have a combined experience of more than 100 years. We are certified in areas of expertise; most are Certified Records Managers (CRM).

As needed, we can develop RFPs, RFQs, or RFIs for vendor response. We can recruit vendors offering the kinds of product or services our clients need. As desired, we guide clients' review of proposals submitted.

IMA consultants can create information management functions for an organization. We can also evaluate existing programs and systems and offer recommendations for increased effectiveness and efficiency.

We use a team-based approach in which associates are chosen and coordinated by the president of IMA as sub-contractors to contribute expertise to a particular consulting project. Professional biographies of IMA’s consulting associates are available as is a review of our previous projects.

IMA is an invited affiliate of Information Management International, a records and information services provider network.
