Financial Services firms must work to comply with document retention and accessibility laws, healthcare organizations must be able to guarantee the security and privacy of patient records, and government organizations must implement measures to securely archive sensitive documents, while making them readily available to the public. A host of emerging laws and regulations are at the root of this heightened focus on better management of records and enterprise content. For example, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 provides penalties of up to 20 years' imprisonment for corporate executives found guilty of destroying, altering, or fabricating records in federal investigations or schemes to defraud investors; or for filing false financial statements with the SEC.
