Session Description
From chat tools and collaboration platforms to voice recordings, emails, and AI prompts, organizations are generating more “odds and ends” of information than ever before. But how long should these materials be retained, and when is it safe to defensibly dispose of them?
In this webinar, Tom Mighell of Contoural explores practical retention strategies for emerging and unconventional content types, including:
- Determining if chats, texts, and prompts are official records.
- Balancing regulatory, legal, and business requirements with storage costs.
- How long to keep messages, emails, and recordings—and when to delete them.
- Aligning policies across platforms like Teams, Slack, Zoom, and AI tools.
- Avoiding common pitfalls and lessons learned from real-world programs.
You’ll come away with actionable insights to reduce risk, control costs, and create defensible retention rules for these growing categories of information.
