Watch the “Defensible Disposal” dialoginar to see what information management consultant Randolph Kahn and Deidre Paknad, CEO, PSS Systems, an IBM Company, recommend to fix retention challenges across your enterprise:

• Choose the right information management solutions for the enterprise, not just your department.
