How to simplify record retention management
As digital documents continue to play an outsized role in litigation, legal firms today are increasingly seeking more power solutions to simplify electronic record retention while ensuring the security and integrity of digital files and email.
Electronic record retention and email retention serve multiple purposes, from supporting case work to providing institutional memory and from documenting business decisions to demonstrating compliance. Record retention management also carries significant risk: documents that contain sensitive information is at greater risk the longer it is retained, while files that are quickly or inadvertently discarded may hinder a client's case or violate regulations.
As the volume of email produced each year by an organization continues to multiply, managing record retention becomes costlier and more complex. To meet record retention and email retention requirements while achieving archiving compliance, law firms need easy-to-use tools that can minimize the time and resources required to manage archives. That's where Mimecast can help.
