What is a Virtual User Group meeting?  Think about all the things that a live user group meeting contains - a presentation, some time for networking and questions, and perhaps a snack. Well, we can't vouch for the snack, but we are providing the presentation and the networking. LotusUserGroup.org's Virtual User Group meetings include a Webcast presentation and a moderated topic forum/chat.

Originally Presented: Thursday, March 12, 2009
Presenters: Denny Russell, Technical Support Specialist, Sherpa Software; Grant Lindsay, Product Manager, Sherpa Software
Follow-up Online Discussion Forum: The week of March 16, 2009

Compliance can seem like a vague word. Translating outside laws and rules into real electronic management, archiving policies, and capture procedures can prove challenging for any Domino Administrator.
Add to that the current economic strain on budgets and limited resources to execute IT initiatives and you have what most see as a tough challenge. Join us for this Virtual User Group Meeting that includes an online presentation that explores compliance from an IT perspective and learn what is available out of the box with Domino.
Take a close look at how Domino’s journal mechanism works and its potential shortcomings. Explore real-time message capture and some tools that take compliance-related mail journaling and filtering one step further.
The presentation is free for LotusUserGroup.org members, check it out today.
