the loss of vital data."

data integrity solution provider, will share his security experiences
that derive from his 17 years of experience in both data and physical
security.
"Implementing integrated security technology creates a sense

and verifiable manner and increases the trust between the customer
and company."

as he has practiced in a variety of disciplines - financial
and accounting, legal, operational, and emerging technologies.
"It is vital that SMBs have the management discipline to stay
compliant," said Dean Fischer, president, West Monroe Partners.
"Compliance often requires investments in technology, data storage
and content management among other resources and if SMBs are not guided
in the right direction those investments could be very, very costly."
John Lee of Hostway will serve as the moderator for the Web seminar
and will touch upon his experiences as a small business owner and
the security and compliance obstacles he needed to overcome. He also
will offer ways that small businesses can create plans and processes
