Compliance requirements such as HIPAA or SEC-17a-4 and legal requirements such as the recent changes in the FRCP have catalyzed the need for long-term retention of electronically stored information (ESI). What is long term? The consensus answer is more than 15 years. How does your organization handle the multiple logical and physical migrations that are necessary over this period of time and yet assure readability, availability, and integrity of the information? Is retention in excess of 15, 30, 50 or even 100 years practical given the exponential growth of ESI in your organization? The practices for long-term preservation have two key domains, ingestion practices and storage practices. This tutorial will combine best practices in both areas to give you the tools to improve your long term retention and preservation methods.

Participants will be provided with reference materials and worksheets.
