Paulk revealed that he is now in full production with the production code loaded on the NEC HYDRAstor.

Step one is to identify what departments, project groups and individuals are involved in the business processes. Step two; identify the information that results from those individuals, groups and departments. Step three, once the business process is mapped to the information you simply associate it with a retention management product and policies. (read more)
