Unstructured data – like Exchange email messages, office productivity documents, IM dialogs, Lotus Notes, and so forth – typically constitute more than 75% of customer data and intellectual property.
The combination of recent amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedures (FRCP), growing numbers of lawsuits and regulatory inquiries, and the tremendous growth in electronically stored information (ESI) have created a significant challenge for legal and IT departments. As more companies are exposed to the high costs of an eDiscovery request, the benefits of an alternative, proactive approach become clear. Without the right tools in place, collecting, processing, and reviewing electronic data for eDiscovery can be time-consuming, expensive, and expose a business to significant legal risks.
| The Right Methodology |
| Policy – having clear retention guidelines that conform to the law |
| People – getting IT, legal, RM, and business communicating and collaborating and working with experts who remain current on the world of electronic discovery |
| Process – allowing easy classification and declaration of record or content type |
| Technology – deploying software to enforce policy and provide audit trails and evidence of enforcement with defensible chain-of-custody procedures |
