It is spring!  Those of us who reside on the East Coast need to add the exclamation point for those of you in the West Coast, shovels and snow are not part of your vocabulary.  This issue of the newsletter is coming with a little insight from me, Anne Edmondson, EVP of Marketing for the 2-20 Family of Companies.  And yes, I reside in New Jersey where it has been a very long,cold winter.
  
As the individual responsible for our blog, web-site, LinkedIn Company pages, LinkedIn Group, Facebook page and more, I want to hear from you.  What are items you would like to see, topics you would like covered.  Follow our pages, including our Scoop It page for lots of curated industry information.  Consider it the New York Times of RIM Information at your disposal. 
  
I am proud to announce we recently engaged our resident expert and CRM, Ilona Koti, with too many titles to list to do some blog and video posts for us. Industry trends are something we try to stay ahead of and we want to take you with us.  One recent topic that has gotten a lot of air time on various list servs is Records Management vs. Information Governance. Ilona tackles this in our latest Smart Storage Solution Blog, excerpted in this newsletter.
  
Now my personal 'too many a year to count' background provided our still most popular blog Records Management Bloopers.  All, or strike that, a few of the funny moments I have experienced in this business.  I guess the popularity here proves that although Information Governance is important, everyone can always use a smile.
  
In this issue we will switch things up a little bit.  We have plenty of things going on at our companies to fill up many newsletters.  Yet in this issue we will give you some Storetrieve updates, industry updates, entertainment and even information you can use to assist with your tax returns. Last, don't forget to take advantage of our free box offer, buy 20 and get five free. 
  
I am always here for a question, comment or suggestions on how we can make your job easier.  Just email me at aedmondson@2-20rm.com.
  
My Best,
  
Anne Sommi Edmondson
Executive Vice President, Marketing

Ten Helpful Tips for Paying Your Taxes

 

Who else should you let give you advice about paying your taxes but the IRS.  Here are 10 helpful tips.  Number 1 is pretty self explanatory:

 

1. Never send cash.

 

2. If you file electronically, you can file and pay in a single step with an electronic funds withdrawal. If you e-file by yourself you can use your tax preparation software to make the withdrawal. If you use a tax preparer to e-file, you can ask the preparer to make your tax payment electronically.

400,000 plus Items and

 $350,0000 in Savings

 

 

Storetrieve and Arizona Records Storage Center, both members of the 2-20 Family of Companies, worked together with its SmartHub program to add a new fortune 100 customer.  This transition encompasses over 400,000 plus items from another off-site storage company and provides a savings of over $350,0000 over four years.  Smart Storage Solutions, a turn key transition plan and a RIM program tailored to the specific needs of this company demonstrated how all records storage companies are not created equal. Innovation and technology resulted in a large financial savings combined with compliance assurances, disaster recovery readiness and services they were not currently receiving.  We congratulate our team for a great success story and look forward to adding a new satisfied customer to our family of companies.

GovernanceInformation Governance vs.
Records Management
  
This month's Smart Storage Solution Blog focuses on understanding similarities and differences between information governance and records management.  This has been tweeted, retweeted, posted, reposted and the subject of much List Serv discussion.  Written by 2-20's resident information governance expert Ilona N. Koti. Ilona goes beyond just giving definitions and discusses why you may want to include the term IG on your resume.
