The relationship between the Records Management, Legal and Compliance and IT departments must be a close one. Identifying and consistently managing the disposition of records is critical in an ongoing attempt to eliminate sanctions in e-Discovery, enable Compliance to be proactive and lessen overall costs as well as fines, and for IT to lower overall costs of storage. However, in many cases this relationship has broken down or has never synergized.
Our mission is to improve the relationship, bridge the gap and prove beyond a reasonable doubt the need and ROI of a consistent records management process for both physical and electronic records.
Whether you are in the throes of litigation, have no current records management program, or merely need a third party assessment of your current practices, we can help. The returns are immense for those who take steps beforehand, rather than reacting in a crisis mode after an incident has already occurred.
Our services include:
Overall records management program development
Size, staffing, training
Outsourcing, use of digital imaging, RFID
IT-Attorney-Records-Compliance staff relations
Records classifications and organization
