Free ePolicy Workshop to Help Organizations Understand Vital Email Records Retention & Compliance Issues
Event to Focus on Essential Email Archiving and Records Management Policies
Montreal, Canada – March 31, 2009 – As the quantity of email records soars within enterprises, questions arise about how to manage them from a legal and regulatory perspective. Traditional records management practices are clashing with practical realities and organizations that neglect to develop comprehensive policies are leaving themselves open to email compliance liability and security risks.
To help organizations develop their own email records management and retention policies, the expert in email risk management and compliance, Messaging Architects will present a seminar on April 10 at the Commons Conference Center at the University of Texas in Austin.
Led by Anne-Lisa de Forest and noted Technology Attorney Ben Wright, experts in eDiscovery, email retention, and regulatory mandates, the free seminar will be presented as part of the Texas Department of Information Resources’ Technology Today Series.
"The policy workshop helps participants understand what should go into a formal, written policy, taking the guesswork out of what email needs to be retained and for how long,” explained de Forest.
The seminar will benefit Executives, Attorneys, HR professionals, IT Managers, Records Managers, Email Administrators and other stakeholders whose organization’s business activity resides primarily in the email system.
The workshop will examine eDiscovery issues, the legal ramifications facing a broad variety of industries, and current trends in records management. "There's currently a heated controversy between conventional record keeping practices, which advocate individual record review and retention, and a more holistic, IT-systems approach," explained Wright. "We'll explore the pros and cons of both."Wright teaches and has authored numerous books on technology law, and hosts an insightful blog (http://legal-beagle.typepad.com) that focuses on retention and security issues.
