Email Retention and Document Management Policies (Problems and Solutions)

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 06:34:35 -0500

At last years NJ League of Municipalities session on e-mail management, panelists spoke to an overflow room about the problems of e-mail management of municipalities of all sizes. At this years panel, the panel discussed specific practices government agencies should employ to manage their e-mail. The panel addressed best practices for governments with different e-mail technologies: large organizations with their own e-mail servers, those that download their e-mail from an internet service provider and use desktop e-mail readers like Outlook Express, and those that use online (cloud) services such as Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, AOL, or Hotmail. Attendees saw specific actions they can do to improve their e-mail management practices and manage their risks for issues such as searching, OPRA compliance, records retention rules, backups, and security.

NJ League of Municipalities Convention session "Email Retention and Document Management Policies (Problems and Solutions)" Powerpoint presentation has been publish by NJ-GMIS.

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:14:36 -0500

What do local officials need to know about technology? What risks does today's technology pose to municipalities and what can they do about it? Should they be concerned about hackers, social engineering, network security, website defacing, viruses from e-mail, or illegal use of systems by rouge employees? What can they do about it? And why do IT administrators always seem to be asking for more money?

NJ-GMIS has published their presentation at the NJ League of Municipalities Convention, session "What Elected Officials Need to Know About Technology" from November 17, 2009.
