As organizations address their data retention needs to comply with corporate governance and federal and local
regulations, they must keep necessary documents and records available when needed. Overall, the management and
control of retention-managed data can be a significant challenge when taking into account other factors such
as costs, integration, performance, security, privacy and policy-based retention periods.
