Kofax and Open-Tec join forces to offer advice on how compliance impacts the types of business records companies must now store

Free Workshop: November 6th 2008, Basingstoke

Kofax – www.kofax.com – the global leader in information capture solutions and Open- Tec – www.open-tec.com , developer of Cstore™ Content Archive, a highly scalable and BSI BIP 0008 compliant storage and business records management solution, have joined forces to offer advice to IT Directors on how compliance impacts the types of business records which companies must now store.

With ever tighter global regulations, compliance standards and a need to ensure best practice and operational excellence, businesses today are demanding greater capabilities, robustness and compliance from their information capture and content storage infrastructure. In many organisations there are still paper-based business records that also contain important business information. Having easy access to those records in a digital format along with other electronic records, such as email, can significantly improve overall efficiency.

Terry Cave, CEO of Open-Tec, whose flagship Cstore™ solution has been described by Bloor Research as having “…major disruptive market potential,” explains: “For the last few years, businesses across every sector have experienced an explosive increase in information storage. Data volumes are increasing including longer retention periods and there is a greater need for proving the integrity of the data through tightened security. Overall volume may potentially exceed the capacity of current storage technology. Added to this is the need to achieve and maintain compliance with current and upcoming regulations such as BSI BIP 0008 which will result in significantly increasing data storage requirements and therefore costs.”

In response, Kofax and Open-Tec are running a workshop that considers some of the drivers for such solutions from a practical day to day perspective.

John Stinchcombe, Managing Director of Kofax UK, explains: “The workshop is open to attendees from across the business spectrum, given the relevance of compliance to everyone. Attendees will gain an appreciation of the following:

Ø How compliance impacts the types of business records you must store

Ø An end to end solution for capture and archive

Ø Best practice from an automated “intelligent capture” stand-point

Ø A broad capture strategy covering ad hoc, transactional and batch oriented work

Ø Solutions for the typical issues & challenges for eDiscovery of business records

Ø Secure, compliant and scalable storage and archive infrastructure

We hope that it will help them to solve the challenges of compliant enterprise capture, content storage and e-Discovery.”
