Case Study - Managed E-Mail - Finally, An Enterprise Reality! Sandy Hostetter Rohm & Haas Company A key area of concern at the Rohm and Haas Company is the daily management and separation and isolation of the tens of thousands of e-mail records from the millions of nonessential e-mail in the company's messaging system. Sponsored jointly by the company's General Counsel and CIO, a special team was appointed to design and implement a "structurally sound and business-flexible solution" that would satisfy stringent legal and regulatory requirements without interrupting business processes and also mesh with existing IT infrastructure. Now, instead of retaining and storing every e-mail that comes and goes through the mail system, the solution allows Rohm and Haas employees to manage each e-mail with the appropriate level of control based on the e-mail's business value. The "Managed E-mail" approach is now rolled out to more than 6,200 Rohm and Haas employees in North America. Sandy is Program Manager for Electronic Content Management and Retention at the Rohm and Haas Company. For the past four years, Sandy has lead a team focused on designing, testing, and implementing an approach for identifying, storing, and protecting company records created in email. Sandy is a professional librarian who is passionate about the disciplined management of metadata in corporate data sources. She has presented and published her theories and research internationally.

Records Policy Implosions from the White House to Moscow and Beyond Marie Allen BOSS'S DAY ARMA Members: Invite your non-member boss - their lunch is FREE! REMEMBER to email or call Mary Ott, Program Director with your guest information (include guest name, business, address, email & phone # information). You might not expect poor records policy to help bring down a presidency, but that’s just what happened with the Watergate scandal. Obstruction of justice as revealed in secret unscheduled tape recordings led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon. Deficient records policy also hampered the FBI’s major counterterrorism investigations of the last dozen years and hindered the USSR in making the transition to a democratic society. In this session, a records manager who crafted the remedial actions in these crisis situations describes lessons learned from her Washington and Moscow assignments. Marie Allen is one of the most successful records managers in the U. S., with decades of six-figure salaries and senior assignments at the White House, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), NATO Headquarters-Brussels, and FBI Headquarters. From her years as Director of the Presidential Papers Staff in the White House during the Carter and Reagan Administrations, to her tenure at NARA’s Director of the Federal Life Cycle Management Division and the FBI’s Chief of Records Policy, Ms. Allen has applied her knowledge and experience in records management to some of the country’s most challenging assignments.

Monitoring & Auditing for Compliance Genifer Graff IBM This session illustrates how using events and metadata in the life cycle of content can provide sound evidence of compliance with regulatory and governance requirements. History maintained as part of a record’s life can be searched and reported on to provide key audit information on who did what and when in the course of a transaction. This provides significant advantages in responding to discovery orders while establishing the legal chain of custody. Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to: Respond to auditors and other discovery orders more accurately and more quickly Better leverage metadata elements when designing and implementing electronic records management systems Optimize the linkage between records and the business processes that use them Genifer Graff is currently employed at IBM where she is an information technology specialist specializing in Enterprise Content Management with an emphasis on Capture Solutions and Electronic Records Management.

Besides planning and implementing document capture solutions, Genifer has obtained the Information Capture Professional (ICP) certification. The ICP designation was developed to recognize achievement and dedication of professionals in data capture, imaging operations and forms processing. Realizing it was not just enough to capture documents, Genifer became involved in document records management. Genifer is a member of ARMA and has attended meetings and Expos for many years.
