Gartner Advice On e-records Management In Gov t source: Gartner Research Note G00165869, 14 March 2009 This note documents the systemic failure... to understand the nature of electronic record keeping. Key Findings User-driven classification of records, especially of e-mail, has failed and will fail in virtually all cases. The technology missing when implementing records management is automated policy management. Business and IT must work together to create policy and automate it. Recommendations Give up user-based classification.... Treat e-mail as a separate issue. Enforce all RM policies with automation and continuous auditing processes, not moral exhortations. But Automated Classification Poses Serious Scaling Challenges...

How to tell Unified vs. Integrated Apps. ( Acquired/ ) Licensed Unified is impossible without this. Single Data Schema Single Machine able to perform all functions Single Code Base, no 3 rd party code Single User Profile for all applications Single Backup / Restore for all applications The only way to retrofit Integrated to Unified architecture is to do a re-write. update
Integrated Silos vs. Unified Approach compliance storage e-discovery compliance records storage records e-discovery silos = multiple copies split vaults = even more copies retention policies / searches disjointed higher legal liabilities/costs, a mess to manage wasteful data movement = delayed or failed update/sync integrated silos no silos one data copy coordinated retention policies, consistent search lower liabilities/costs, easier to manage no data movement = instantaneous updates unified
