Compliance has always been a part of the cost of doing business. But that cost has gone up considerably in recent years. Organizations are now subject to increasing oversight under a variety of government and industry regulations – with heavy penalties and potentially damaging public exposure if they fail to comply. Compliance requires management of a defined set of documents, ensuring they are retained and can be produced when requested by the applicable regulators.
Technology is part of the answer – particularly enterprise content management (ECM) technologies that manage unstructured content and enable appropriate management and retrieval of information. If, as in many organizations, your unstructured content is stored in multiple repositories, across multiple locations, you may be taking steps to consolidate and optimize your existing ECM platforms; you may also be looking into software solutions to address records management and email management.
But technology is not the whole answer. Meeting today’s compliance and litigation discovery challenges also involves process and people: policies and procedures to ensure compliance management; and people, as those policies and procedures related to records and information management are socialized throughout the organization. An effective approach to compliance requires a program that encompasses all three of these components.
