Best Practices for Enabling your
Information Lifecycle Management Strategy 

Records Management (RM) and Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) initiatives are top-of-mind for many large organizations worldwide. Benefits
of having a single, central console for managing the retention of documents (e.g., email, IM, Microsoft Office files, PDFs, web content) include cost savings associated with discovery and storage, and lower risk associated with having a common set of policies applied to all electronic content in an organization.

Best practices that will help an organization take a practical first step toward achieving success with an RM or ILM strategy include:

1)       Start with your most important content first

2)       Use the right application for the right problem

3)       Keep records "in place"

4)       Make your infrastructure as flexible as possible

5)       Ensure policies (and subsequent audits) are closely tied to each repository but not hard wired
