Information Overload

LIGHTHOUSE'S CONTENT MANAGEMENT Practices AND IT COMPLIANCE Partnership ENSURE YOUR BUSINESS MEETS USABILITY AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS.

Data can be a tremendous asset or a crippling liability— it simply depends how you manage it. Although today’s business world is dependent on ever-increasing amounts of information, primarily in the form of documentation and electronic files, their existence creates a host of problems. Where should these files be stored, and for how long? Who should have access to this data, and how will they access it? Are there laws and regulations requiring the storage and archival of this information? If so, are those requirements being met?

Lighthouse’s Content Management team, along with Compass IT Compliance's consultants, have years of experience helping small to large companies manage their hardcopy and electronic documentation in accordance with laws and regulations that govern them. Using best-in-class technologies and frameworks, certified consultants will assess, design and implement content management solutions that not only meet stringent industry and governmental regulations, but also ease the accessibility and usability of this content for employees and customers alike.

Lighthouse consultants will also analyze your business processes related to your company’s information lifecycles. Our Business Process Management (BPM) analyses will enhance your company’s ability to: automate internal business and compliance processes; institute records management policies; and provide management and audit reporting to satisfy internal and external regulations.

Most importantly, the holistic relationship between Lighthouse’s Content Management and Compass' IT Compliance practices allows us to completely understand the customer’s needs, at a deeper level than most technology-focused companies can.  


 Content Management Implementation

To cut down the expenses, risks, and accessibility issues associated with hardcopy documentation— and to integrate them with existing electronic documents such as emails, spreadsheets and word processing files—Lighthouse can help you implement a content management solution tailored to your needs. By scanning, storing and enabling these documents, you can be assured that your important records are always available, always protected, and forever integrated into your overall business infrastructure.

In addition, Lighthouse can implement a hierarchical storage management solution to ensure long-term storage and backup of these documents, a document management system for easy access to them, and seamless integration with your company’s security and database systems.

Finally, the Lighthouse team can work with your personnel to design and implement workflow and collaboration processes within your organization, including central management of documents, versioning, checkin/checkout procedures, categorization, organization and automation.

Email and Document Archival

When your emails and documents reach the end of their active lifecycles, you must determine what to do with them. Most businesses and institutions need to follow strict rules that may require them to store these files for months or years because of regulatory, legal or industry requirements.

Lighthouse, in tandem with Compass IT Compliance, can help you determine how to leverage your content management system in order to archive and maintain your business’ documentation, especially in accordance with laws and regulations for your particular industry. Certified consultants will assess your particular situation and implement procedures to archive your documentation for compliance or litigation discovery requests, or to support your ongoing disaster recovery efforts.

Our team will pay close attention to your company’s particular needs, and will address important questions pertaining to all archival efforts. For instance, will your archives meet your legal team’s expectations if a portion of your corporate data is rapidly needed for the courts? How many different systems do users need to retrieve data? Are hardcopy archives needed? If so, how will employees store and retrieve them?

The Lighthouse team’s broad content management experience will ensure your business leverages its content management infrastructure to support all of your archival objectives, now and into the future.


IT Regulator Compliance Readiness

Regulations are written in such a way as to dictate what to do, but not how to do it. Since regulatory agencies do not approve, validate or recommend IT solutions, IT decision-makers must design and implement these solutions themselves, despite their potential lack of expertise around IT Regulatory Compliance and compliant solutions.

To better serve the compliance needs of our customers, Lighthouse Computer Services has established a strategic partnership with Compass IT Compliance, LLC. Compass has the experience to help you minimize and manage your IT Compliance burden. Consultants from our Enterprise Content Management practice area will work with Compass's team of compliance experts to look holistically at your particular situation, and prepare your company for IT regulatory compliance.

All of the consultants involved — Certified Information Systems Auditors (CISA), Certified Network Engineers, Certified Project Managers, and Certified Document Imaging Architechs (CDIA) — have years of experience designing and building compliant IT solutions based on the latest server and storage hardware and software. By integrating content management, email and workflow infrastructures with sound, scalable records management technology, we give you confidence that your organization will be able to maintain and advance your IT systems in the future, while meeting the ongoing challenges of new regulations, demands, and additional requirements.
