Federated Records Management(FRM)is promised to be an important step forward for the information management market and an integral part of how organizations should manage their business records more effectively in the future. FRM is defined with this general set of attributes: information is held as unstructured and structured content (e.g., email, Sharepoint, file servers, desktops files, databases), stored in multiple locations across organizations (e.g., local, centralized, and distributed repositories and databases), and is considered a subset of the complete content managed as an integrated "record" of business.
