e-Mail Archiving ROI: How to Build a Business Case in Challenging Times
Brian Wolfe, Cofounder and Partner, Laurus Technologies

In the current economic climate, many organizations are feeling the pinch and shelving their email archiving projects until next year because of the cost.

Expected growth of electronic communications over the next five to ten years
Costs and risks associated with storing documents or data beyond the retention period
Time and money spent to locate relevant data when relying on backups as the main archive

Tolson

e-Discovery: How IT Should Support the New Federal Rules that Govern e-Discovery
Bill Tolson, Director of Legal and Regulatory Solutions Marketing, Mimosa Systems

In December 2006, amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) changed the landscape on how organizations must produce electronic information for use within litigations. A recent survey identified 90% of those responsible for email services feel that their organizations are not fully prepared to meet the revised Federal rules.

e-Mail, like many other forms of electronic information, has quickly become a key technology requested by the courts to support litigations. As the volume of electronic information continues to increase, the cost of retaining and producing these materials also increases. Many organizations are not equipped to help navigate through this painful process and do not understand their responsibilities within the e-Discovery process.

In this session, attendees will learn the following:

What are the New Federal Rules of Civil Procedure?
What are the consequences if the FRCP is not followed?
What steps your IT groups should follow to help support the e-Discovery process?
When could computer forensic processes be used within the e-Discovery process?

Many organizations struggle with defining and implementing the right retention policy. Legal must determine the length of retention policy to best protect the organization. IT must then design the infrastructure to best support what Legal requires. This can present the organization with challenges that need to be worked out ahead of archiving implementation.

In this session attendees will learn from a diverse panel on the following:

How to balance the needs of different stakeholders in the project
How to create a consensus within an organization
How to develop the right e-mail retention policy for your organization.
