taxonomy bootcamp 2013 - journey to records town
DESCRIPTION
As the City of Bellevue embarked on implementing new technologies and compliance requirements, it faced a challenge. With a retention schedule made up of more than 6,000 records series, the ability to support emerging business and technology requirements seemed next to impossible. The city’s records management program took on this challenge and refined the agency retention schedule into a format that would work for users and could be implemented in systems including email archiving, instant messaging, and SharePoint 2010/Gimmal Compliance Suite. This session covered lessons learned in developing retention rules and a content type framework that is as easy to navigate as a visit to Disneyland. Learn how to consider the value of a functional retention schedule in your organization; connect the value of a simplified schedule in implementing email archiving, unified communication and/or ECM technologies; and apply multiple ideas to simplify your retention schedule at your place of work.TRANSCRIPT
