Create Sustainable Cost Containment for Information Governance Initiatives
Sponsored By: InOutsource
Description:
Law firms often face immense pressure to cut waste and improve efficiency. However, many law firms approach storage cost reviews with a focus on immediate results only. While this approach may yield short-term results, the most successful forms of cost containment happen within a well-articulated and executed information governance program. Law firms without records retention and disposition schedules in an overall information governance program ultimately undercut cost containment efforts within four to five years due to growing storage demands. This means that any cost evaluations or renegotiations must be cyclically replicated to sustain long-term cost savings.
In this webinar, we'll discuss how to avoid repetitive efforts and costs by implementing a strong information governance program, including how to:
- Provide a new framework for records management employee processes and behaviors
- Engage senior management to attain buy-in and support
- Rethink policies and procedures dictating which documents move to offsite storage
- Negotiate incentives around destructions
