Aligning Records Management and Content Management for Enterprise Efficiency

>>View the video replay of this session now.<<

Over the last decade, records management (RM) has become more and more a matter of digital archiving.  At the same time, many organizations are archiving a larger and larger number of content types in order to address growing regulatory and legal demands.   It has also become necessary to make archived documents more findable in terms of subject matter and relevance to specific queries.

As a result, records managers and content managers are converging on a similar set of approaches.   This creates an opportunity to gain efficiencies in the handling of digital content by creating synergy between RM and CM organizations, solutions and business processes.

In this session Alix Kneifel will address 1) an approach for integrating RM and CM into a common document lifecycle strategy; and 2) building out authoring and publishing processes that simultaneously meet CM and RM objectives.

David Peterson, of Cogniva, will talk about how, through business process mapping, diligent information protection, preservation and disposal, organizations are on the cusp of having the requisite toolset to effectively manage their information -- thereby leading to reduced costs, exposure and effort required to be best positioned for e-Discovery activities.

At the end of the session, participants will better understand how the creation and adherence to information retention and disposition leads to overall cost reductions.

This topic will be continued next month with a discussion of records management on the SharePoint 2010 CM platform.
