ABSTRACT:
Many organizations today struggle to find, produce, and manage e-communications and e-documents for business purposes and as required for lawsuits, audits, investigations, and other formal proceedings. Accessing electronic information for lawsuits and other formal matters is commonly known as electronic discovery ("ediscovery"). E-discovery has emerged as a key challenge for companies of all sizes, across all industries.
This assessment is designed to help organizations close this gap. Rather than simply advising the client on how to better retain certain often used and mismanaged information types or how to best respond to e-discovery scenarios, this assessment focuses primarily on helping the client understand what they can do today to proactively manage their information in a way that both prepares them for ediscovery and supports their information-related business goals.
