Overview:  'Trends in Auto Categorization'

The geometric growth of information has made it almost impossible to support a records management plan that can rely solely upon manual declarations.  While certain information types are easier to manually declare, the need to provide some level of automated declaration is something that we must all start to consider.  This session will serve as an introduction into the emerging area of Automated Records Classification.  We will also review the fundamentals supporting these technologies and how far along they are in the real-world.  We will conclude by identifying what information types are better targets for Automated Records Classification and Process Automation and how you need to prepare to accommodate this new world of Records Management
