We’re in a major component shortage. The electronics industry is currently experiencing the most extreme component scarcity in over a decade. Lead times on passive components products have drastically increased as a result, with some suppliers quoting as far out as mid-next year. The shortage and its impact is so widespread that the Electronic Components Supply Network (ECSN) is urging electronics buyers to “review their outlook on lead times for components amid surging global demand and reports of allocation risks on certain products.”
This is a long-term sourcing challenge that industry analysts see lasting beyond the new year. Many organizations have responded to the supply deficit by double- and triple ordering components, but this has only aggravated the problem further. Suppliers are starting to allocate their inventory, resulting in massive lead times and increased prices.

While 97% of Americans with a smartphone use them to send texts, many organizations don’t have any supervision or management of mobile communication in place. While it is intuitive and reliable, text messaging can pose serious litigation and reputation risks if employees are conducting business conversations without clear policies and supervision. Read this guide to understand the ways companies are exposed to risk through texting and how you can reap the benefits of text message archiving with implementation of smart policies and solutions.
This guide contains practical steps that will help public sector organizations and departments develop a text message policy and retention strategy to protect against the risk involved with use of this popular, universal form of communication. It also outlines some smart text recordkeeping practices so you’ll be better prepared to respond to open records requests or other e-discovery needs when they arise.
Against the backdrop of political shifts in Washington and growing popular distrust of “big finance,” the seventh annual Smarsh survey of compliance professionals in the financial services industry reveals that the electronic communications compliance landscape has become broader, more complex and more scrutinized.
More firms are finding that gaps in retention and supervision programs have consequences. Examinations have become more comprehensive, with regulators focusing in particular on supervision processes. FINRA reported 99 books and records cases in 2016, resulting in $22.5million in fines. Compared to 2015, that represents a 423% increase in fines.

These days, it's not enough for your organization to simply manage risk after the fact. You must spot it as soon as it happens to prevent it from spiraling out of control. Despite the increased organizational focus on broad risk-management issues, many companies still lack best practices and technology solutions to deal with one facet of business that inherently carries high levels of risk: the many flavors of electronic communications shared internally and externally with colleagues, clients, prospects, business partners, third-party vendors, and even the general public. Getting a good handle on supervision of your company's electronic communications data can help you realize more effective risk detection, mitigation, and management in the long run.

The rise of virtualization as a business tool has dramatically enhanced server and primary storage utilization. By allowing multiple operating systems and applications to run on a single physical server, organizations can significantly lower their hardware costs and take advantage of efficiency and agility improvements as more and more tasks become automated. This also alleviates the pain of fragmented IT ecosystems and incompatible data silos.
Protecting these virtualized environments, however, and the ever-growing amount of structured and unstructured data being created, still requires a complex, on-prem secondary storage model that imposes heavy administrative overhead and infrastructure costs. The increasing pressure on IT teams to maintain business continuity and information governance are changing how businesses view infrastructure resiliency and long-term data retention—they are consequently looking to new solutions to ensure immediate availability and complete protection of the data that resides within their VMware environments.
Prior to fully embracing SMS/text messaging, organizations need to assess how and why their employees want to use text communications, develop and communicate use policies, and ensure all information sent via text can be retained and archived. Remember, any communication sent or received by government organizations—including public safety departments and their employees—is subject to open records requests.
In this report, we examine how public safety agencies can create policies that allow for compliant use of SMS/text messaging, and how to retain and archive those communications for a more efficient response to open records requests.
