Quad Cities Chamber Event - Digital Archiving and the Law

Do you know, is a back-up the same thing as archiving?

The answer is no. One of the biggest unknowns to many in manufacturing management is how long everything must be kept – and preserved – electronically. One of the biggest unknowns to many in manufacturing management is how long everything must be kept – and preserved – electronically. In fact, any IT manager will tell you that a backup is not digital archiving; your IT team doesn’t always preserve backups for 7 years, for example.

Wrapped up in how to manage, store, and preserve corporate electronic records on how you conduct business is your organization’s records policy. Often times your general manager, office manager, compliance officer, HR, Finance, Accounting, or Safety department is the guiding hand in your policy. Yet, often the strategy, policy, and plan to manage electronically digitalized manufacturing company assets – the data in all its many forms – are unknown.

Join us at the next Hub Huddle when Josh McIntyre from Lane & Waterman, who specializes in e-Discovery and e-Record compliance, and Beth Tinsman, CEO of Twin State Technical Services, brief you on what you can do most automatically and painlessly using current technologies.

Attendees will learn what e-Discovery and record retention is all about, as well as how they can technologically support and manage the information systems resource in performing the archiving of e-Documents in their own computing infrastructure.

Time will be provided for Q & A and networking with other attendees.
