Can I develop a retention schedule in Retention Manager and apply it to electronic records? Yes you can. Retention Manager includes a data export format that enables you to transfer approved or authorized retention data to a compatible records and information management software product. We work with the vendors of these products to ensure they meet our documented records retention standards and utilize our data correctly in their software products. Your records retention program can then effectively be used to establish retention requirements for electronic records, as well as your paper records. A listing of compatible vendors is published on our web site.
