Global companies must manage the conflicts between business information requirements and thousands of disparate country-specific laws governing data privacy and retention. Often this complexity and risk leads to costly over retention. Conflicts between US discovery and EU privacy and data protection rules, for example, also make it challenging to comply with diverse discovery and privacy obligations.

Accelerate value-based retention management

The Atlas Suite enables value-based information retention with a sound global information governance program which results in less information to manage. With Atlas, companies can define, manage and enforce retention schedules and procedures appropriate for each area of their business, and for the unique discovery, privacy and data protection laws in each country they do business. Risk is reduced with a global governance program including a demonstrable audit trail.

Quickly launch a global program

Leverage your existing retention schedules and staff to start your global information governance program. With Atlas, you can publish accurate, dynamic schedules reflecting business value and legal requirements to each information repository. Establish communications across Legal, IT and business staff to provide immediate access to retention schedules, privacy procedures, and legal holds instructions.

Reduce information risk with systematic governance system

Apply global information standards and unify data protection and retention procedures by country, function, system, and business process. Centralize controls and localize responsibility through establishing roles and privileges for staff, publishing corporate and master schedules, and managing exceptions. Atlas provides an auditable program that prevents spoliation, and demonstrates program effectiveness to regulators and management.

Reduce information costs by defensibly disposing of data

Atlas enables companies to defensibly dispose of information and data with no business value while preserving data on hold. Institute controls for physical record storage and enforce retention schedules routinely and systematically across repositories. As a result, data storage and management costs are significantly reduced.
