You might not expect poor records policy to help bring down a presidency, but that’s just what happened with the Watergate scandal. Obstruction of justice as revealed in secret unscheduled tape recordings led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon. Deficient records policy also hampered the FBI’s major counterterrorism investigations of the last dozen years and hindered the USSR in making the transition to a democratic society. In this session, a records manager who crafted the remedial actions in these crisis situations describes lessons learned from her Washington and Moscow assignments.

A key area of concern at the Rohm and Haas Company is the daily management and separation and isolation of the tens of thousands of e-mail records from the millions of nonessential e-mail in the company's messaging system. Sponsored jointly by the company's General Counsel and CIO, a special team was appointed to design and implement a "structurally sound and business-flexible solution" that would satisfy stringent legal and regulatory requirements without interrupting business processes and also mesh with existing IT infrastructure.

Do you need to develop and deliver records management basic training to all employees but don't know where to start? In a computerized business world records management is everybody's business. The assumption that all employees know how to manage their records is not defensible in court. This session will show you a communication plan, stategic timing and samples of messages sent to different audiences and the actual 10-minute online training delivered to employees.

So many have retained so much for so long - e-content and all kinds of "e-waste" in network drives - without applying records management principles. Now, records managers are being asked to identify what e-content should be purged or migrated to managed repositories. This session will detail the experiences of a large e-records cleanup project: the issues, strategy, processes and benefits.

This session illustrates how using events and metadata in the life cycle of content can provide sound evidence of compliance with regulatory and governance requirements. History maintained as part of a record’s life can be searched and reported on to provide key audit information on who did what and when in the course of a transaction. This provides significant advantages in responding to discovery orders while establishing the legal chain of custody.
