4 Project Background If each GSK employee creates or receives just 35 email records a day, nearly a billion records are then created each year Nearly 80 per cent of these records are likely to be copies of information maintained elsewhere in GSK. The cost of managing all this information is significant. Additionally, the more information that is kept, the more time is spent searching for what is required. A GSK Global initiative that applies to all employees

5 Project Background Activation of these email management tools aligned to our Canadian Action Plan commitments to “Drive Operational Excellence” and “Embrace Corporate Governance” helps us become more organized and efficient in the way we work with records and information ensures our records management practices are compliant with applicable Canadian legislation and global policy Good records management enables us to control information so that we have what we need when we need it Good records management ensures we are only committing resources to maintaining records that support GSK business activities

6 Project Background Drive operational excellence by reducing users’ time and effort in searching for and archiving data Ensure compliance with GSK’s Records Retention Policy and Records Retention Schedule Make it easier to maintain GSK’s electronic infrastructure Contain operational costs associated with email storage.

7 Project Background “The Mailbox Janitor and the Records Retention Schedule programmes help us manage the rapidly growing volume of information being stored on our servers. They help improve efficiency and ensure the stability and reliability of the IT infrastructure. I strongly encourage everyone to comply with the Mailbox Janitor and Quota programmes. I believe these programmes will be less burdensome over time as they become part of how we do business.” -- JP Garnier, July 2005

8 E-Mail Growth It is estimated that in 2005 48 billion corporate emails will be sent each day. This rises to 60 billion a day in 2006. An additional two trillion corporate emails are sent each year, or a 25% increase. General Counsel Roundtable, 2003 One company recently spent $200,000 to respond to a government subpoena to retrieve 100 e-mail accounts from backup tapes. Those costs did not include Legal’s time to review the records, only the costs to get the data in a position to be reviewed. James Michalowicz, Manager of Legal Services, DuPont

9 Classification of E-Mail Most employees had no file plan for e-mail E-mail messages were kept all together in each employee’s In-Box Duplication and lengthy e-mail threads Difficulty retrieving messages Difficulty identifying e-mail messages subject to litigation Employees inherited large volumes of unclassified e-mail messages from predecessors
10
10 Retention of E-Mail Most employees did not delete e-mail messages…ever Stable organization with many long term employees Large attachments (often multiple duplicates) stored along with messages Continual addition of storage devices to Lotus Domino Server Systems
11
11 Mailbox Janitor and Quota Applications created within the Lotus Notes template Encourage users to manage email records effectively Classify records within a folder structure Manage the retention of email records
12
12 What Janitor Does Each week it reviews all the messages in each employee’s inbox, sent folder and drafts folder Moves any messages that are more than 60 days old to the employee’s !System Cleanup! folder for 7 days Permanently deletes any messages that have been in the !System Cleanup! folder for more than 7 days Items in user created folders are not affected by Janitor
13
13 What Quota Does A tool that monitors the size of each employee’s Lotus Notes Mailbox to ensure they comply with the size limit. The system generates a series of pop-up messages to tell you when you have exceeded the limit. International set a non-negotiable 300 MB quota for all employees Quota applies to all records contained in that Lotus Notes Mailbox including Personal Folders, Calendar entries and To Do items Calculates each employee’s mailbox size nightly and compares it to the fixed quota size
14
14 What Quota Does For the first 60 days that an employee is over their 300 MB quota, they receive a pop-up message every time they create an email message reminding them they are over their quota and to reduce their mailbox size If an employee remains over the 300 MB quota for more than 60 days, they cannot send an email message until they are below their quota The Lotus Notes mail template shows the employee’s Mailbox Quota and Mail File Size in the top left corner of the Inbox
15
15 What Employees Had To Do Complete a Mandatory eLearning Module Review the Records Retention Policy Create a set of user defined folders by subject within Lotus Notes
16
16 What Employees Had To Do Move email messages into these folders as they create or receive them Reduce their overall mailbox size below their 300 MB quota, and keep it there Check their !System Cleanup! folder every week to ensure that the Mailbox Janitor does not delete anything that needs to be retained
17
17 What Employees Had To Do Move anything that needs to be retained from their !System Cleanup! folder to a personal folder within 7 days Organize electronic records outside Lotus Notes
18
18 What Janitor/Quota Are Not Comprehensive Records Management Applications Automated Classification Systems Records Retention Schedule Automation Tools Integrated with other electronic records repositories Integrated with tools used to manage physical records
