Jerry Rugh, has been in records management and ARMA since 2002. That year he started at Microsoft Corporation as a Legal Records Supervisor in LCA (Legal and Corporate Affairs) and within two and a half years was promoted to Legal Records Manager. Among his accomplishments at Microsoft, he developed the processes and protocols to migrate the department away from dependence on physical files. On his arrival, LCA had sixteen record centers across the Redmond campus; when he left six years later, they had three. Today, Jerry is the Records Manager for Davis Wright Tremaine, LLP, an international AMLAW 200 law firm. Among his major accomplishments since he started in 2008, Jerry developed, published in 2010 and implemented their records management policy, and he created the protocols, developed the internal workflow tool and implemented the program to manage firm-wide disposition of client files. This system within the next eighteen months will complete the disposition of all legacy client files, and he is just a few months away from a fully automated system to manage the complete lifecycle for client content in any media. In conjunction with the development of the records management policy, he led the project team in writing the litigation hold policy and protocol.
