DPI Buyers Guide – enter by September 5th

It's that time of year again. Time to update or add your company's entry to the Fourth Edition of the DMF Data Protection Initiative Buyers Guide. The current version, the Third Edition, is posted online . Take a look and if you have participated in the past, all we need to know is what has changed. If you would like to add your company's product this time around, email ebull@snia.org today, and we will send you the information you need.

There is no cost to participate if you are a member of the DMF. In order to update the Buyers Guide in time for SNW Fall, all changes and additions need to be made this week – by September 5th.

You don’t want to be left out of this guide!
