CA is kicking off the week at ARMA in Las Vegas! In the past, CA has been a leading participant at ARMA and this year we are pulling out all the stops as it follows on the heels of our Information Governance suite launch. Included in the launch is a new Discovery and Retention module, which we plan on showcasing manager throughout the conference. Our gold sponsorship level will also position us well in the exhibitor's area with a large 20 x 20 booth hosting 4 demo stations to display our products. And on the fun side of things, we will also be sponsoring the Welcome Party which is always a great platform to meet and greet our clients.
Today we're also announcing findings from a CA-sponsored ARMA International survey of Records Management professionals. The results are astounding. The survey found that:
Records Management professionals feel unprepared when it comes to email management (72 percent) and eDiscovery (68 percent), in relation to those records. The study also reveals a cause for their lack of preparedness: 75 percent of respondents do not have a system that manages their content "including digital and physical information and records--across the enterprise. Sixty-two percent of respondents do not have an email archiving system.
Those are big numbers which show that there is a lot of work still to be done when it comes to managing records and easily discovering information. After ARMA I'll give you my deeper take on the statistics, but for now, check out the
press release here.
I'll be speaking tomorrow at the show, and so will Pete Pepiton, our eDiscovery Solution Director. Here are the details on which sessions to watch:
