Better Data Management in Five Practices

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, especially when it comes to your valuable files. We've all heard of the horror stories of someone losing their important files or the panic of data leaks. There are 5 key practices that can mitigate these risks.

In the first 30 minutes of this workshop, we'll review 5 data management practices: backups, naming & organization, documentation, security, and future proofing. The second half is optional time for you to stay around for discussion and questions. This workshop is for anyone who wants to improve their data management.
