Embrace Information Lifecycle Management in Your ECM Program
Assure the quality of your information assets from cradle to grave (and every stage in between) with an effective information classification scheme, policies, and governance.
Book This Workshop

Establishing an information lifecycle management as part of your ECM practices leads to:
- Defined and optimized usage of information assets.
- Protection against legal/regulatory risks.
- Repeatable process for adapting the way information assets are handled as business needs shift.
