January - David Drever- Modernizing Your Data Retention
January 17, 2023 Part 2 of the Winter Series – David Drever
Historically, data retention in an environment has been based mainly on two key pieces of data: when the document was created or when the document was last modified. More recently, retention policies have also been controlled based on the content of the data, but again determining disposition goes
back to created or last modified dates.
Perhaps you would like more options for controlling document retention. Maybe project documents that are retained based on the project end date make more sense to your organization. In this session, we will illustrate how you can go beyond the basic created or modified dates of data to controlling
retention based on events that occur. No longer do you need to be constrained to a few pieces of metadata for determining the data retention policies of your content.

March - Mark Diamond- Launching an Information Governance Program
March 9, 2022 – Mark Diamond- Launching an Information Governance Program
Effective Information Governance programs can be a tremendous boon for organizations, reducing risks and costs while increasing productivity. Yet launching and running an enterprise-wide program that pulls together multiple stakeholders, integrates policies and technologies and is actually followed by employees – all while avoiding getting stuck – can be hard. Some have compared launching a successful program akin to a moonshot, an endeavor fraught with hurdles and risks. Yet in the same way the Apollo space program succeeding in large part because of approach and attitude, so can Information Governance program also benefit from a similar “get it done” mindset. This presentation will review the most common hurdles and pitfalls and Information Governance, and how an effective approach can anticipate and overcome them.

In this session, we’ll cover the basics of records management. What is records management, WHY is it essential, WHO needs to be involved, WHEN should it be considered, WHERE it occurs, and finally, HOW can it be accomplished in Microsoft 365.
