Document retention is a serious issue. This presentation is a good introduction and
overview. Mark outlines the four
document retention modes, the five tenets of effective document retention
policies and the ten best practices in electronic document retention. He includes two useful decision
matrices. The first is a comparison of
the impact on compliance, liability, employee productivity and process versus
the cost of the four retention strategies.

modes. Be sure to read the notes in

Simplifying
Data Compliance

been piecemeal, inefficient and/or difficult to manage. Val Bercovici, NetApp's Global Architect for
Compliance and Data Protection,
will discuss:
- the
latest in compliance best practice
- how
to automatically incorporate backup and disaster recovery into the
solution

Managing Up:
Keys to a Successful Program
Talking to management about Business Continuation Planning
is like selling life insurance in a singles bar. You really have to show the value-add and the
reason to buy. Everyone knows business
continuation planning is more than a project:
it is a process of changing the company's thinking and decision-making
regarding risk reduction solutions.
Everyone knows that business Continuation must be integrated into how
the Company does business everyday.
So what’s the problem? Frankly, to have a successful
program, it’s not enough to know what to do.
You also have to know how to do it.
Greig Fennell, director of Corporate Business Continuation Planning at
Sprint, will share stories from the trenches and give real-world examples of
how to bridge that gap and take your program to the next level.

Best
Practices for Email Retention
Today no company has the option to debate whether or not to save
email. Thanks to regulation and
litigation, the only question now is how best to save it. The three major
options are:
- Backing
up to tape
- Building
your own archive
- Using
a third party
Which option
is right for your company? According to
John Lindeman, Vice President of Product Development at SunGard, there are
three critical attributes against which a company should measure one’s email
retention policy. The degree to which a
company implements an archiving solution will determine what approach is best
for them. At this presentation you will
learn how to matrix the decision making process and decide which approach is
right for your organization.
