Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

As companies continue to round out their software portfolios to address compliance issues like Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and HIPAA as well as ongoing legal requirements, enterprises must understand that records management (RM) software is not an elixir. Rather, RM is an important part of any initiative to document policies and mitigate the risks involved with enterprise content. When the need to share information with government agencies or litigation opponents arises, RM provides a complement to electronic discovery by making the content discoverable and applying required holds. Discovery services not only cull potentially relevant documents from enterprise content, but also prepare that content to be available in a common, searchable format, to exist in a separate "locked down" repository, and to be produced for submission to courts, if necessary.
