Overview

In most organizations, digital content doubles every three years. It is estimated that by 2010 the amount of digital information stored will be equivalent to 15 million times the information contained in all the books ever written. At the same time customers and constituents want access to more information, in the format they want, whenever they need it, while respecting privacy and organizational security considerations. Meanwhile, organizations are accountable more than ever for the information they author, publish, retain, and destroy.

Part of what hinders compliance is the increasing complexity and cost to add compliance capabilities to existing email and messaging systems. That’s changing with the availability of Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. Designed to enable organizations to quickly implement and enforce comprehensive email compliance measures, Exchange Server 2007 includes new and expanded messaging management features built into the software. Compliance officers will find that most laws and corporate guidelines require the following email capabilities in order to ensure compliance with email policies: Message Retention, Controlled Access, and Information and Process Integrity – all of which are provided in Exchange 2007.

In 2006, Microsoft had the biggest product launch in company history with billions of Research and Development entering the market. This investment is represented by a bold step for Microsoft into the Enterprise Content Management (ECM) arena with the latest version 3.0 of the Microsoft® Office SharePoint® Server 2007 platform.

In this session:

  • We will demonstrate how ECM can assist your project, branch or department;
  • Your organization will understand the value of document management, records management, workflow, policies, electronic forms, and information rights management; and
  • We will discuss how these content management solutions can be rapidly deployed to help lower operational costs, help increase employee productivity, ensure information consistency, enable collaboration, while transparently adhering to the information management policies of your organization.
