Los Angeles – (business wire) — With the dramatic increase in corporate rules, industry regulations, and strict laws governing how organizations do business, information governance has become essential. But so far, it’s been a lot of work. His new FiT suite from VDS changes all that.
Already deployed in dozens of organizations, FiT is the first customized disposal and retention workflow management solution. Identify and clean outdated documents and transform them into automated retention and disposition workflows to optimize the most relevant ones and let you dispose of those that no longer have value. FiT can help reduce risk, support compliance, and save time and money.
“From law firms to corporations to government agencies, we hear the same thing over and over again: overwhelmed executives and IT leaders want a better way to manage and streamline their organization’s records. Over the years, generating large amounts of data and meeting changing legal requirements for retention and deletion of documents has hindered productivity and compliance,” said VDS president. Antony Forde said. “FiT lifecycle management is amplified information governance, giving organizations complete oversight and control over the governance and management of documents throughout their lifecycle.”
According to the Global Trade Association for Information Management Companies (PRISM), an organization’s active files are growing at a rate of approximately 25% annually. At any given time, 3-5% of files are lost or misplaced. Mishandling of files can lead to financial and legal penalties and lawsuits.
Main benefits
Web-based and cross-browser compatible, FiT features new front-end technology and a SQL back-end. FiT offers many benefits to organizations, from increased efficiency and faster searches to enhanced workflows. But one of the biggest is ensuring regulatory compliance, thereby mitigating risk. Users always know what they have, where they are, and when they can dispose of them.
Additionally, FiT offers significant cost savings by proactively managing storage. FiT can reduce/eliminate unnecessary, redundant, obsolete, insignificant, and temporary data and documents, which in turn reduces an organization’s storage and IT infrastructure costs. It also minimizes administrative costs.
