A retention policy for electronic information defines how long the information should be stored before it should be deleted. Except for email, most electronic information is currently never deleted or is deleted in a haphazard manner.
Legal and regulatory pressure is gradually driving organizations to define and implement proper retention policies for electronic information. However, in many organizations, the situation is still a mess, with arbitrary retention periods applied to many types of information.
Join us for this webcast which will:
- Present practical recommendations for organizations wishing to define and implement retention policy for electronic information
- Describe the current state of retention policies so an organization can compare its status with that of its peers
- Predict the retention situation in 2020
- Outline seven key steps for optimizing your retention schedule.
