Managing Data For Long Retention Periods:
Requirements and Challenges
Presentation Abstract:
Several events in recent years have changed the requirements for retaining data
from operational databases to long periods of time. Required retention periods
have ballooned to many years, and in some cases, to many decades. This coupled
with the rapid rise in data volumes and the importance of providing archived
data on demand many years after it is created, has surfaced the need for
companies to build a solid practice for archiving and managing business data
from their online operational databases.
The presentation covers the basics of an archiving methodology and a number of
topics that require special consideration in building a database archiving
practice. Topics covered are application independence, metadata independence,
data authenticity, change management, storage management, and access control.

As the incoming president, I would first like to give my thanks and apperciation to the
outgoing team for a job well done. This team had to face many challenges in the course
of the year. In the process, several good lessons were learned that will be passed on
to the new team.
Second, I would like to see the incoming team come up with a strategic plan for the year
that will bring improvements on several fronts. More renown speakers will mean a higher
interest, increase of membership, higher attendance, and a better chance for you to
meet other persons of our "profession". Better communications with you, the member,
about what you would like to see, your expectations, suggestions, concerns, etc, will
mean a higher interest, which in turn... OK, we coverd that already.
Third, I would like more involvement from the membership. That's part of the "better
communications". We will be able to do more for you if you help us do more because
we are all volunteers in this association.
Finally, where I work I don't have a door. So instead, I'll have an "open ear" policy.
Please, talk to me if there is something we do or don't do that bothers you.
Francois Cartier
Incoming President, SF DAMA
