foundation to protect mission-critical content, improve corporate
compliance and mitigate risk
TORONTO, April 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Hummingbird Ltd. (NASDAQ: HUMC, TSX: HUM), a leading global provider of integrated enterprise content management (ECM) and network connectivity solutions today announced that it will host a series of executive seminars in May entitled: Building the Resilient Enterprise.
The complimentary breakfast seminars will be held in eight cities throughout the United States beginning May 2nd, 2006.
While some organizations have established a disaster recovery plan for business data, many have not taken similar precautions to protect mission- critical electronic documents, records, and e-mail. Compounding the matter is the fact that a large percentage of business information remains paper-based. Not properly digitizing, backing up, and protecting valuable paper-based documents including insurance claims, contracts, correspondence, purchase orders, invoices, and even legal evidence, leaves organizations in a high-risk position.
Seminar attendees will learn how Hummingbird technology and best practices provide productivity gains and cost efficiencies while meeting compliance pressures of Freedom of Information and Privacy mandates. They will also learn how leading organizations have successfully implemented Hummingbird's leading ECM solution to support disaster recovery planning, in order to establish a secure architecture for business resiliency.
"Organizations are being proactive by capitalizing on the value of enterprise content management software and the important role it plays in supporting efforts to prepare for a disaster and, if necessary, recovering from that disaster," said Andrew Pery, Chief Marketing Officer and Senior Vice President, Hummingbird Ltd. "This seminar series will help organizations to understand how Hummingbird Enterprise provides an essential information management foundation for disaster recovery, while improving corporate compliance and mitigating risk."
The complimentary seminars will take place on the following dates and locations:
May 2: Austin, Texas - Omni Austin
May 3: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma - Oklahoma City Marriott
May 4: Baton Rouge, Louisiana - Baton Rouge Marriott
May 9: Nashville, Tennessee - Hilton Nashville
May 10: Atlanta, Georgia - Ritz-Carlton
May 11: Washington, DC - Wardman Park Marriott
May 23: Houston, Texas - JW Marriott
