FASTrack Records Management Planning
from FMDC

Are you overwhelmed by all the headlines about ESI, FRCP, state privacy laws, soaring IT costs and electronic records retention? Are you unclear about all the differences in past and present technologies or what your responsibilities as a corporate executive really include? Are you in the situation where you know you must do something, but you’re not sure what or how to budget for it or what your ROI on the project may be? Are you out of time and short on resources but concerned your company is potentially exposed? If you have said yes to any of these questions then you should consider,

FMDC’s Electronic Records Management Planning Program

Designed to get to the essentials without spending a lot of time, the FMDC Electronic Records Management program is a focused project that follows a proven methodology to quickly identify the core issues and requirements for change to a company’s ESI management processes. The results are a clear path to what must be implemented and how to get it done.

Questions the FMDC program will help you answer

Regulatory and Litigation Issues:

• What must I do to align my electronic records management with my records retention schedules? What is the level of information risk that my current practices create?
• What ESI rules would apply to my ESI? What should my IT personnel know about my regulatory and litigation requirements?
• How can I keep my IT people informed of the regulations?
• How can I reduce the cost of information storage and still follow the regulations?

• Can I reduce my online and tape storage requirements, my growth rate? What about my old data on tape? Can I reduce the number of backup tapes I am using?
• What is the general cost of the solutions that I need to implement? How long will it take to get my new solutions running?
• Will my users be able to access their e-mail? Can I reduce the size of e-mail mailstore?

In addition, it might not be just what to do, but how to justify the cost. FMDC also offers an optional ROI analysis component that will help you develop budgetary estimates for solutions and a ROI assessment to get it funded.
