7 Steps to Modernize Your Records

We currently live in a world dominated by electronic information. More than 90 percent of all records created or received by organizations are in electronic media. Yet many corporate record retention programs are based on an older, paper-centric paradigm. For the most part, paper-based record
retention processes do not really work for electronic documents. If you are like many companies that are transitioning your record retention program, you need to be careful to do it the right way.

It’s time to transition from paper-centric to electronic-focused programs.  Law firms are only just getting on the band-wagon in incorporating electronic documents into their records program despite giving solid advice to corporate clients. It's necessary that every attorney, paralegal, litigation support and staff employee understand how to make your program work.

This highly-informative webinar covers:  
1.  Where to focus and how to move away from a record = paper = “count boxes” mentality.
2.  How to get consensus across more stakeholders regarding outdated paper-based programs.
3.  How to Invest and save now.
4.  The right way to get to the right copy of record.
5.  How to let go and get rid of the paper by comparing real costs of paper vs. electronic medium. 
6.  Avoiding fauxpliance: A proven technique to upgrade a record retention program getting attorneys and staff alike to comply. 
7.  How to transition your staff and teach them the right skills to implement immediately.
