Global Retention Policy and Schedule Management

IBM Global Retention Policy and Schedule Management is a single, cohesive retention management system with natively integrated workflows and analytics for information governance stakeholders.

Global Retention Policy and Schedule Management eliminates the “Big 4” information management risks– those that have the highest likelihood to occur and the greatest financial impact:

Defined retention periods for physical records only — no schedule for electronic records
Departments with no knowledge of actual procedures, information, location, use or value
Inability to pass internal audit
Inability to respond to regulator or court requests

Global Retention Policy and Schedule Management enables companies to maintain centralized retention control with localized responsibility. It manages a corporate taxonomy and library of retention, privacy and discovery laws with appropriate roles and change management processes for field-level authorization. Quickly publish accurate, dynamic schedules that are value-based and in line with the needs of business unit and country operations. The software manages change requests and controls to enable your global records coordinators to easily and consistently maintain schedules.

Combine Global Retention Policy and Schedule Management with the workflows of Disposal and Governance Management for IT and Atlas eDiscovery Process Management to understand what information has legal obligation and value and achieve routine, defensible disposal.
