NPSA Goes On the Record with Portable Storage

Five years after the Enron and WorldCom financial accounting scandals sparked regulations known as Sarbanes-Oxley, or SOX, records management is still a hot topic. That’s because of the challenges that go along with the requirement to store mountains of data. That challenge will become a $1.3 billion industry by 2008, according to Forrester Research.
