Since the beginning, the shredding industry’s trade association, the International Secure Information Governance & Management Association (i-SIGMA), and the National Association for Information Destruction (NAID) before it, have enlisted the thought leadership of experts within the industry. For many years this has included an invitation for the owners of ShredMetrics to present. This year is no exception. ShredMetrics Founder and Chief Technology Officer, Steven Innerfield, CSDS will be presenting two sessions at the i-SIGMA 2023 Conference & Expo.
A Window to Success: Real Certification Impacts
In the first session, Innerfield will be discussing “A Window to Success: Real Certification Impacts” with current service providers Rod Ivey, CSDS, Rick Jackson, CSDS, and Margaret Meier, CSDS. During this time, attendings will find what makes others successful, implement practical changes to your operations that will make you stand out and stronger, and continue to reevaluate and grow – these are principles in business for cultivating a continuous positive trajectory. Several industry colleagues with lucrative companies will briefly share insights into how being NAID AAA or PRISM Privacy+ Certified has affected their specific business growth and the practical steps they have taken to leverage these tools for additional gain. From these testimonials and the opportunity to ask questions at the end, find inspiration and determine what your company could be doing differently, so you too can be in it to win it.
Do I Really Need Shredding Software?
It’s hard to hammer a nail with a screwdriver. You can do it… but it’s easier when you have the right tools for the job. Software is the same way… there is a time and a place for Excel and there is a time to use different tools. In the informative and practical presentation, “Do I Really Need Shredding Software?” Innerfield will discuss the best uses of Excel, QuickBooks, a shared calendar, specialized software, and even acknowledge those things you can still do best in your own head. We will focus on the cost/benefit decisions about using shredding software and how to decide when (or if) that choice is right for your company. Given the state of the world today he will also discuss data security and how to properly secure and back up your company’s important customer, routing, and billing data, whether it’s sitting in Excel or in a sophisticated cloud-based system. Moving to a Shredding Software system is a huge move that takes a lot of work… is it worth it for your company at this stage of your growth?
The event will be held in Las Vegas March 30-31. You can learn more at www.isigmaconf.org.
