Press Release:
PSS Systems CEO Deidre Paknad to Present Information Policy Management Framework at Chicago ARMA Spring Seminar
PALO ALTO, California, February 28, 2005 — Deidre Paknad, president and CEO of PSS Systems, the leading provider of information policy management solutions, will speak at the Chicago ARMA Spring Seminar, March 17, 2005, on "New Standards for Information Policy Management." The discussion will focus on the strategic and tactical steps companies must take to develop best practices for information retention and electronic discovery programs.
"New information policy requirements are increasing in today's business environment and trends suggest continued expansion and enforcement of retention, preservation, and privacy policies across industries," said Laurie Gingrich, Chicago ARMA chapter president. "Seminars like this provide our members with practical new information and best practices they can apply immediately to efficiently and effectively meet these obligations."
"The rules for retaining, preserving, and producing information changed dramatically in 2004, driven in large part by new e-discovery case law," said Deidre Paknad, president and CEO of PSS Systems. "New standards and higher costs of discovery make it essential that executives assess their processes to ensure they're meeting new standards and reducing risk, cost and complexity. A strategic information policy approach drives business and shareholder value."
