Records Management Center - Augusta, GA

What Records Management Center - Augusta, GA does

Records Management Center (RMC) was a family-owned records management and shredding services provider headquartered in Augusta, GA, founded in 1955 by the Andersen family and operating in the records industry for approximately 40 years. The company delivered secure offsite records storage, scheduled shredding, Scan On Demand digitization, indexing, vendor transition support, and records retention policy advisory services to clients across Legal, Healthcare, Government, Finance, and Education verticals, operating across a 150-mile service radius covering 20+ counties. It held PRISM Privacy+, NAID AAA, and GCIC certifications, providing the regulatory credentials required to serve healthcare, government, and legal accounts with sensitive chain-of-custody obligations.

RMC operated on a recurring-revenue model anchored by subscription storage contracts and recurring shredding services, supplemented by transactional revenue from one-time scanning and indexing projects. Go-to-market was direct — phone and email outreach into a localized Augusta-area client base — with a client portal enabling self-service records requests. The company carried no proprietary technology platform; its competitive position rested on physical logistics infrastructure, decades of operating history, and certification-backed compliance standing rather than software differentiation.

In April 2025, RMC merged into Secure Records Solutions (SRS) as SRS's sixth acquisition, ending RMC's independent corporate identity. The combined entity serves 1,600 clients nationwide, integrating RMC's Augusta-area footprint and shredding capabilities into SRS's broader national platform. As of the merger, RMC operates as a regional node within SRS rather than as a standalone business, with all client-facing contact now routed through SRS's portal and contact channels.
