This week I heard of a new product that I thought was pretty interesting.  It’s called the Trackstick, and it uses GPS technology to log where its been.  Its actually pretty cool because you can use Google Maps or Google Earth and it will draw a line down the streets you’ve been to, log the date and time, how fast you were going, and more.

I’m not condoning this practice, but the Trackstick would actually be a good tool for parents who find themselves constantly sick with worry.  I actually knew a girl whose parents trusted her so little, they actually put some kind of a tracking device in her car.  It was a long time ago, so it probably wasn’t a trackstick, and it was probably something a lot more expensive.

Anyway, there probably are some parents out there that have real reason to suspect that their teen is driving recklessly, going to the liquore store, or doing other things that would put them and others at risk.  I’d actually recommend the trackstick if this is the case.  I know I want less drunk teens out there on the road.

The venerable quandary of complying with record retention policies has always been a struggle for companies, large and small.  Most companies are not in a favorable position to deal with major legal issues and litigation as a result of the current document management systems.  Not to mention the high cost of e-discovery and tracking down documents and files that have not properly been maintained according to document management policies. 

One of the most effective and efficient ways to attain complete compliance is using record retention software, especially with the introduction of electronic data storage.  The software typically has the capability to track, upload, and delete documents according to the measures you set in place.
