Creating a Modern, Compliant and Easier to Execute Records Retention Schedule (On-Demand)

Creating a Modern, Compliant and Easier to Execute Records Retention Schedule (On-Demand) Mark Vitek (not verified)
On-Demand

Many record retention schedules started from within hardcopy, paper-based records programs. Yet today more than 95% of the documents organizations create or receive are sourced in digital format. Programs based on paper-centric record retention schedules are much more difficult to execute and ensure compliance, when electronic information is the dominant format. Is your retention schedule in need of an update?


In this Webcast, Mark Diamond and Tom Mighell from Contoural, along with Stacey Shaw from Careington, will discuss how organizations can create modern and more compliant records retention schedules that better handle both paper and especially electronic information. They will also cover how to privacy-enable your schedule.
