Businesses annually create worldwide over 7.5 billion documents. Only 35% contain legally sensitive information. Amazingly, 80% are unmanaged – stored on users’ hard drives and shared drives outside the control of centralized document repositories. In this session, you will learn from a legal and technical perspective, how Grant Thornton created a world-class business and technology solution to:

  • Successfully clean up working copies and drafts at the end of an engagement, Decrease the cost of storage,
  • Use NextPage to track and control documents across all locations (hard drives, email attachments, shared drives) and ensure final copies are in SharePoint and
  • Leverage SharePoint as the centralized and final repository for engagement teams
