 ROT stands for Redundant, Obsolete, and Transitory records. ROT presents a litigation risk, a security risk, a privacy risk, and is a drain on your efficiency. Schedule a ROT Squad consult with Emily and Lynn to learn how to identify and eradicate your ROT--and prevent it from recurring. The RMS ROT Squad is a free service to UW offices, departments, and individuals on all three campuses. ROT Squad consults can also be held remotely. |
