Using Open Text Email Management for Exchange Server 2007 and Open Text Records Management, Halliburton has created a common-sense approach to email management that can be used by any company, regardless of its specialty. Halliburton anticipates decreased litigation expenses in e-discovery, an increase in business record compliance, and a considerable decrease in unnecessary email storage and associated costs.

Taking the Cost and Risk Out of the Inbox: Why the Unchecked Growth of Electronically Stored Information Is Unsustainable
Jeremy Barnes, Open Text Corporation
Because e-mail just keeps on coming, one dreams of stemming the flow. Despite its unparalleled corporate value — facilitating business across geographies and time zones in ways once simply impossible — the mismanagement of e-mail has created overwhelming problems and unsustainable practices in companies of all sizes. Still, we cannot function without it.
The massive volume of electronically stored information, including e-mail, creates increasingly complex and daunting challenges. Organizations invariably come to terms with a disheartening reality: Substantial corporate costs and risks, particularly those incurred throughout the e-discovery process, directly correlate to the volume of content retained. Indeed, given the process of hiring outside service providers to identify and collect content, and the billable fees incurred by lawyers to review information for relevance and privilege, it makes sense that every expense is intensified by the volume of content involved.
Unfortunately, when most companies begin to evaluate their legal situation, they realize they’ve wound up on the horns of an e-discovery dilemma. Companies must secure and retain information or face fines and sanctions associated with the destruction of electronic evidence. Saving too much information, however, drives up costs.
This is why many companies eventually endeavor to dispose of unnecessary electronic information — that is, to determine what content should or must be kept — and aggressively purge everything else. It becomes a balancing act of risk tolerance: What do we believe we can responsibly dispose of, and how do we ensure the rest is kept appropriately?

How to Dynamically Change Content in a Custom Sidebar
As the Open Text Online Communities primary facilitator, I like to use custom side bars on my community home page powered by Open Text Communities of Practice (CoP). I use custom side bars to promote different areas of the community as well as highlight the various resources available to community members. With so many CoP modules available to use on the home page, the custom side bars are one area where I can add visual interest and keep the content looking fresh and different. However, it can be time consuming to constantly update and change the contents of a custom sidebar. Using JavaScript, you can setup a custom sidebar to display different contents every time the page is loaded.
Click here to view a whitepaper showing the code and steps you can use to do the same thing. You can also apply this to a customview and a text content module! Don't forget that the current version of the Open Text Wiki uses custom sidebars too!
