Automatic Document Destruction with Assurance

Laws and regulations related to retention will inevitably change, therefore the policies are updated according to insight from an international network of law firms. Integration with OnBase Document Retention provides automated management of these pre-defined retention schedules and destruction of documents in accordance with the policies. Records managers can then focus their time on more valuable strategic initiatives and end-users can continue working in OnBase by Hyland and IDT seamlessly while GRaaS manages information governance policies in the background. Know your obligations, show compliance, and confidently destroy documents with Governance Rules as a Service.

Establishing a Retention Schedule has Never Been Easier!


Graas provides a fully researched and vetted retention schedule

This is backed by Iron Mountain and updated regularly to account for new laws and retention regulations—giving organizations the comfort they need to take action and destroy documents and do it with confidence.


Researching and formulating a complete information governance policy for any content services platform—requires more time, money, and resources than most organizations can afford or support, leading to a lack of confidence in their policies. As a result, they compromise between their policies with practicality and often then choose to retain all of their content forever in fear of destroying content at the wrong time, increasing overall risk including possible legal liability and major fines from a costly audit. Does this sound like your organization? Read on.

Automated management and execution of policy

With GRaaS, checks, statements, and other related transactional documents are automatically destroyed after their retention period expires. Due to the high volume of these kinds of documents—in some cases well over 100,000 items daily—the automation capabilities of GRaaS provided by Document Retention ensure retention policies are consistently applied and documents are destroyed with little human interaction required.



Don't miss out—the time to act is now!

With GRaaS from Hyland OnBase and IDT you get:

  • Iron Mountain® Policy Center provides a complete, web-based retention schedule for OnBase documents, backed by high-quality legal research from an international network of law firms and updated to reflect the latest regulatory changes
  • The home page dashboard with interactive tiles shows summaries of Rule Types and Retention Periods, as well as total counts of business functions, record classes, and citations
  • Retention schedule search allows users to quickly and easily find relevant retention policies across the enterprise

  • Hyland Retention Connector integrates Policy Center with OnBase by pulling retention information from Policy Center, matching Record Types with Document Types, and pushing appropriate retention settings into OnBase with a single click
  • OnBase Document Retention manages the retention period and initiates the destruction of stored documents, providing automated execution of the retention rules outlined by Policy Center
  • Legal hold capability excludes a document from the purge process to ensure it is not destroyed

MELISSA BAUER, RECORDS MANAGER

MCHENRY COUNTY GOVERNMENT

"The networked scanning solution IDT provided has allowed us to eliminate hand sorting and speed up survey processing, doubling our output, saving time and labor costs. Now we just open up the mail, put it in one pile, regardless of document size, and scan it!” 


LAURIE WOJTKOWSKI, DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS

IPSOS

“After dissecting our workflows, IDT thought outside-the-box. They were spot-on with their recommendations, and delivered what they promised: a better tool, and a better process.”


BRYAN SWARTZ, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF AUDIENCE OPERATIONS

OMEDA

"IDT has expertise we don’t have in-house. They provide what we ask for, and new ways to approach our specific issues. Moving to a Cloud ECM system ensures our documents are readily accessible, saves us money, and solves the Disaster Recovery concern.”


SEAN HANSEN, DIRECTOR FINANCIAL PLANNING & ANALYSIS

TEXTRON MARINE & LAND SYSTEMS

"Without content services from IDT, we would have had to hire 20 people just to mine and pull the documents and burn them on a CD or thumb drive. There’s no way we could have accomplished it and met our timeline for compliance."


MARCIA WILSON, VICE PRESIDENT OF IMAGING

COLONIAL SAVINGS

"Moving is very paper-intensive and our agents don’t get paid until the paperwork is processed. Expanding our document capture system with IDT allowed us to speed up agent payment, eliminate shipping costs, reduce central processing, and help increase agent loyalty and recruitment. It is a completely automated process and really gives us a leg up on our competitors."
