| NextPage Introduces Document Retention Risk Assessment Tool NextPage has announced the immediate availability of an easy-to-use online risk assessment tool that will help organizations determine the level of risk associated with their document retention needs and policies. The assessment tool can be completed in less than five minutes and generates a preliminary risk score based on how the organization answers selected questions. Organizations with higher risk scores can request a more in-depth analysis from NextPage. In order to more fully understand the challenges associated with document retention, NextPage commissioned a research study which suggests that while companies recognize the need for a document retention policy, enforcing one is proving difficult. According to a recent survey of 108 IT professionals: - One-third of the companies surveyed did NOT have a document retention policy in effect - While two-thirds of the companies surveyed DO have a document retention policy in effect, almost half of them don't actively enforce it - A troubling majority-61 percent-said employee cooperation in adhering to document retention and deletion policies was less than 50 percent. The tool is availablehere. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
