Attend this information presentation by Donald Skupsky, President of Information Requirements Clearinghouse, to learn how to effectively handle company email, learn to differentiate between container and content.

While electronic mail initially acted as a tool of communication to augment telephone or live meetings, it later evolved into a primary platform for transacting business, storing records and managing records subject to records retention and legal requirements.

This session untangles the email problem in a clear and concise manner, and provides comprehensive solutions to properly manage records flowing through the email system. Participants will receive detailed, practical approaches to revamp email systems, preserve records, eliminate valueless emails, manage email backups, change corporate culture, and develop short- and long-term solutions.

After attending this presentation, you will be able to:

1. Focus on the email problems within your organization, understand judicial expectations for email and identify current and potential problems for failing to properly manage emails.
2. Implement immediate improvements to the email system to ensure retention of required records and destruction of unnecessary email.
3. Implement longer-term changes to the email system to improve information management and reduce legal risk.
4. Implement the major changes needed to the email “corporate culture” and procedures to conform the email syste to a more effective role within the information management system.
