Eliminating Communications Data and System Silos in Regulated Industries

Marty Colburn (the well-known former CTO for FINRA) notes in one of his recent Smarsh Expert Perspectives series video segments that solutions actually do exist today for organizations seeking to avoid separate data and system silos for each type of communication content they use.
 

THE SITUATION

The range of different communications content types that need to be checked for compliance, retained, and made available for discovery events, such as audits, regulatory examinations and litigation, is getting wider and more diverse.

This situation is particularly challenging for organizations in regulated industries, such as financial services, healthcare, lending, public sector and others that want to avoid becoming technology integrators of multiple, separate systems for each of the different communications content types involved.

In this Smarsh Expert Perspectives series video, Colburn explains that if you start to look across the healthcare, security and mortgage industry, people are looking for more and more transparency in governing electronic communications.

In a digital world when business is being conducted through Facebook, web advertising and instant messaging, there is a need to capture those transactions, communications or information that results from the prospective sale.

The last thing you want is for firms to have to be their own system integrator and figure out point solutions for different message types and products.
