Cost effective Records Management

 

All organisations are required, by law, to retain documents for extended periods of time.

Retention Server is an extension to SharePoint portal Server that allows documents to be declared as records and then helps manage these according to retention policies according to the type of record (the file plan).

We are able to implement Retention Server, from 80:20 Software, to let organisations cost-effectively audit, retain, archive, and manage content to achieve compliance.

 

What is Retention and who needs it anyway?

Records Management or retention is just a way of describing the process of managing the storage and eventual disposal of business records. A business record is evidence of what the business does. Many of the documents in SharePoint Team Sites are likely to be business records: Things like Project Plans, Purchase Orders, Financial Statements and Personnel Files are all records. Most businesses are now required to keep business records for defined time periods and be able to produce them on request to a regulator or a Court.
