Company also announced the availability of a new white paper on electronic
records management.

The New Challenge for ERM Managers," will address business best practices for
complying with the growing number of regulations and litigation imposed
obligations relating to electronic records management. Tziahanas' speaking

Cisco and Cohasset Associates' Lori Ashley will co-present "Big Bucket
Theory and Retention Schedules: Big Buckets? We Want Dump Trucks!" to reveal
recent survey results on the pros and cons of the "Big Bucket" approach to
records management. According to the Big Bucket Theory, organizing retention
schedules by fewer categories, or "buckets," can improve the ability of the
end user to accurately and consistently apply retention to documents, thereby
reducing an organization's risk of keeping documents too long or not long
enough. This session is scheduled for 10:00-11:00 am, Tuesday, May 22, 2007.
