Records management requirements
ECM (Enterprise content management ) - is a set of technologies used to capture, store, preserve and deliver content and documents and content related to organizational processes. ECM tools allow the management of an organization's unstructured information, wherever that information exists.

IBM has announced a family of products for archiving email,
classifying content and searching multiple information sources --
independent of where and how the content was created, processed and
archived called the Content Collection and Archiving products.
IBM said its Content Collection and Archiving offerings will
help clients move beyond e-mail archiving to provide organizations with
management capabilities for virtually all their business content,
including file systems, Lotus Quickr, Microsoft SharePoint, instant
messages and other information. The products offer functionality to
meet legal eDiscovery and records management requirements as well as
de-duplication and integration with records retention services, helping
to reduce storage and electronic discovery costs.

Amid all the the hype about the need for compliance it's always amazing to me to see how many companies are willing to live with a "reasonable" amount of risk so they don't have to pay for compliance-oriented applications. This is particularly true of privately-held companies who think they are not subject to Sarbanes-Oxley regulations. Vendors in this market need to shift the message beyond compliance to the ROI and business benefits records management provides, so that enterprises will find RM to be a more compelling proposition. At the same time, enterprises need to take the blinders off and realize that it's not a matter of if you will be subject to litigation and/or audit requirements but when. Compliance and ROI are not necessarily mutually exclusive objectives.

This white paper reviews how the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) affects information and records-management practices and explores ways that companies might address SOX in their own organizations. Topics addressed include mandates set forth in SOX Sections 802, 404, and 302, including SOX recordkeeping obligations, the ability to demonstrate internal controls, and implementation of a Records Hold mechanism. The paper also discusses these requirements in terms of storage infrastructures-particularly how storage solutions must support an organization's ability to ensure absolute information protection, produce an audit trail, and support long-term, reliable access of records.
