material.

Use Case 1 – Records Remediation
Business Challenge
While many organizations may feel their
Records Management Program is robust
when applied to paper records, those same
organizations struggle with applying
policies to electronic records and
documents over file shares, document and
collaboration management systems, or
remote and office computers.
The challenge is to quickly identify records,
apply the right retention periods, and move
those records into the system of record and
under governance.

Use Case 2 – Official vs Non Records
Business Challenge
Documents are created in organizations
everyday. Documents are often emailed
to multiple recipients, reviewers, and
users of the information and stored
locally on personal computers or onto
shared drives where the official record is
never filed or declared.
Duplicate files lead to “information bloat”,
resulting in an increased risk for non-
compliance with records policies,
inefficient searching and increases in
expenditures in IT storage.

Litigation response plans enable the organization to
