E-MAIL AND REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
By Debbie Moffat
The Information Age has prompted significant changes in the way companies
do business. Most business transactions have evolved from paper-based
processes and are now being performed electronically -- most notably, via
e-mail. Clearly, the "paperless office" is far from reality, but e-mail has
quickly conquered the previously paper-centric world of business to replace
memos, letters, faxes, and even the telephone as the predominate mode of
corporate communication. Industry analysts believe that at least 80% of all
corporate information is contained within e-mail.
