International Considerations For Information Archiving And Governance
Enterprises face major challenges in effectively addressing information archiving and governance on a global basis. Application gaps, big variations in cross-border privacy, regulatory, and eDiscovery environments, as well as rapid adoption of emerging technologies in the context of surging electronically stored information are major obstacles to successful global programs. Adding to this complexity, decision-makers in different geographies approach information archiving and governance from very different perspectives. This presentation will:
- Outline international information archiving and governance challenges.
- Describe case studies on how enterprises tackle archiving, records management, and eDiscovery globally.
- Provide best practices for successful worldwide programs.
