Records Management - Digital Data Management Solutions
Andrew SanAgustin, Records and Conflicts Manager, Foster Pepper PLLC

A properly planned and implemented Records and Information Management System is critical in order to harness the vast amounts of digital and electronic data your organization currently possesses (all records, including email, electronic documents, and more).  It’s not just about capturing the data, but being able to manage it, find it, and destroy it.  More and more we rely on the convenience and the necessity of electronic records in order to facilitate business, and respond to requests for data and information.  In this session, attendees will learn the four R’s of Digital Data Management – 1) Record, 2) Research, 3) Review, 4) Respond.  We will discuss the best practices available to manage enterprise records from origination to destruction, and the pitfalls to avoid.
