THE NEW ROLE OF ELECTRONIC CONTENT:
WHY ARCHIVING IS A GOOD IDEA
Sponsored by Unify Corporation

Virtually all organizations store business records in email messages and in email attachments, on file servers, in document repositories like Microsoft SharePoint or Lotus Quickr, on individual desktop computers, on laptop computers, in CRM systems and in various application databases.

However, this information puts you at risk in a number of ways:

  • Because the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) have ushered in a new era in the management of electronic information, an inability to quickly access current and older electronic information quickly can put your company at risk of discarding evidence you might need at trial or for pre-trial review. That could cost your company hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars.

  • Similarly, the growing body of Federal, state and provincial regulations focused on corporate governance means that you must have access to data, and must be able to manage it properly throughout its lifecycle.

  • Good corporate governance – even before lawyers or regulators come knocking – demands that electronic business records be readily accessible for long periods. That means you must archive this content and make it easily searchable.

In short, the amount of electronic information – combined with the way you manage it – represents your organization’s level of risk. Manage it well and your risk is minimized; manage it poorly and your risk is increased dramatically – maybe even to the level of threatening your ability to stay in business.

Join Michael Osterman, President of Osterman Research and Matt Markham of Unify for a special live Osterman webinar focused on the new role of electronic content (ESI) and why archiving is more critical than ever.

In this interactive, expert discussion you will learn answers to questions like:

  • What are the top five things organizations need to know about ESI, in 2010 and beyond?

  • What are the most common mistakes organizations are making with ESI?

  • Just what is ESI and how can you determine your own need for archiving ESI?

  • What are the newest regulations and recent legal cases you must know?

  • What can a proper electronic content archiving system do, and not do for you?

In short, attendees will understand the new role of electronic content and be able to get their top questions answered.
