Document Retention and Management Best Practices Ensure Compliance,
Reduce Liability and Meet Business Needs
May 2004
The first white paper in this series addressed the issues associated
with data retention, including business drivers such as regulatory
compliance, litigation and business productivity. It also described
some of the legal issues and practical difficulties with deletion-centric
policies and practices. In this paper, we turn our attention to the
benefits of saving more documents intelligently, and expand on a number
of Best Practices to deal with these issues.
The explosion of electronic documents, along with new regulations,
new trends in litigation discovery and end-user behavior require organizations
to re-think their document retention strategies. Previous policies
of deleting documents, e-mail and other types of electronic information
can put organizations at significant risk of not being in compliance
and increased liability and are nearly impossible to enforce. This
White Paper addresses the best practices that address these retention
issues.
