Transforming compliance at Farmers Insurance with @rafael_moscatel
Blog: Column 2 - Sandy Kemsley
In the last Thursday breakout of AIIM 2018, I attended a session on initiatives within the compliance department at Farmers Insurance to modernize their records management, presented by Rafael Moscatel. Their technology includes IGS’ Virgo to manage retention schedules, Legal Hold Pro for legal holds and custodian compliance, and Box for content governance. They started in 2015 with an assessment and plan, then built a new team with the appropriate expertise going forward, then updated their policy and governance, and finally brought in the three new key technology components in 2017. For an insurance company, that’s pretty fast.
Their retention policy is based on 12 big buckets, which are primarily aligned with business functions, making it easy for employees to understand what they are from a real-world standpoint. Legal Hold Pro replaced an old customized SharePoint system, and works together with Box Governance for e-discovery. He went through a lot of the details of how the technologies work together and what they’re doing with them, but the key takeaway for me is that an insurance company — what I know through a lot of experience to be an extremely conservative industry that’s struggling to transform themselves — is realizing that they need to shake things up in terms of how compliance of digital records are managed in order to move forward into the future. He ended up with some great comments on how to work with the business people, especially the executives, to bring programs like this to fruition.
Great talk by a knowledgeable and well-spoken presenter; my end-of-the-day writing doesn’t do it justice.
