Bob, I don't know if any of the revisions to Sarbanes Oxley added any specific retention requirements, but there was not a 10 year requirement when it was first issued. I'm very sketical about Stellent - especially in regards to their knowledge and understanding of Records Management practices and principles. Stellent hosted an ARMA webinair a few months ago and the host kept saying that there are many "non-records" that are vital records to a company. I sent an email to this host and he explained that "records" are only those "documents" required by a law - everything else was a non-record, but he had "discovered" that many of those "non-records" are vital records. He did not accept my correction and only replied that whenever he speaks he gets an email from some Records Manager who doesn't agree with him on something - no wonder! He and/or Stellent are making it up as they go. Thanks Mary On 3/5/06, bobd <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > Interesting article in the listserv today.
