Joining the Dots Between Records and Regulations: How a Data Reference Model Supports Retention and Compliance in Higher Education: Newcastle University
This webinar explains how the data reference model (DRM) brings record retention and regulatory compliance together under the umbrella of architecture, helping to create governance that becomes a crucial focus for both the business and the University during project delivery by providing early insight. This enables project teams to see retention requirements and University regulations that were not previously visible to everyone, and helps them understand the relationship between applications and the data they store and use.
