Good morning. The subtitle of this presentation should probably be : You have Mail – Way too much! Or, how about “How Your Search System Could keep you out of Jail”. Both are the titles of recent articles on the subject of e-Discovery. Because of recent changes in Federal Discovery rules, that Patrick has explained, it is now imperative that organizations get control of their email, Microsoft Office documents and other electronic materials, before unanticipated discovery demands lead to huge expenses and possible fines, penalties and adverse judgments. Hopefully, we will give you a starting point for practical steps you can take at your organizations to create, execute and maintain plans and actions to reduce risks and gain control over the ever-expanding morass of electronic information.
