[NEWS] Livermore, CA, December 18, 2012 – Rob Alston, CEO of Access Information Management, announced today the company’s acquisition of Filing Source, Inc., Shredding Source, Inc. and Imaging Source of Florida, Inc. The three combined records and information management companies represent the largest independent industry provider in the Jacksonville market serving many of the area’s most prominent government, healthcare, financial and legal organizations.
