StreaMER [now RIM On Demand™] Enables African RIM Organization to Educate Members
The Nigeria-based Records and Information Management Awareness (RIMA) Foundation has implemented an effective and economical method of educating its members on the latest trends and issues in electronic records management – StreaMER [now RIM On Demand™] from Cohasset Associates.
Available at www.rimeducation.com, StreaMER [now RIM On Demand™] brings the annual MER Conference to desktops in streaming video and features trusted authoritative advice from the world's foremost experts. These experts include judges, attorneys, consultants, solution providers and seasoned professionals presenting their ideas, insight and experience on the current challenges facing RIM professionals.
At RIMA's Free Quarterly Training Program held June 27, Foundation members used StreaMER [now RIM On Demand™] to virtually attend a MER Conference session addressing the basic framework for building an electronic records management program.
RIMA's creative use of StreaMER [now RIM On Demand™] exemplifies how any organization can benefit from a single StreaMER [now RIM On Demand™] account. "StreaMER [now RIM On Demand™] is a good option for those who have not had the opportunity to attend the conference in the past to have a feel of what it entails" said RIMA Foundation President Oyedokun Ayodeji Oyewole. According to Oyewole, all of RIMA’s members would benefit greatly from attending a MER Conference, but none has the budget or time to attend. StreaMER [now RIM On Demand™] brings that education to RIM professionals in Africa.
The next edition of RIMA’s Free Quarterly Training Program scheduled for September 7 will also feature StreaMER [now RIM On Demand™] sessions which include streaming video of the speaker presentation and synchronized PowerPoint slides in a single easy-to-use interface allowing StreaMER [now RIM On Demand™] users see and hear exactly what conference attendees experience.
StreaMER [now RIM On Demand™] sessions provide targeted educational solutions for records and information management teams. Sessions focus on specific themes such as Getting Started, Best Practices, e-Mail Management, e-Discovery, Conceptual, Technical, and Operational Issues, real-world Case Studies, and more.
