e-Discovery: What is IT’s Role and How IT Can
Help Ease the Organization’s Burden
Barry Murphy, Director of Product Marketing,
Mimosa Systems, Inc., former Forrester Research
Analyst
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 are
not followed?
-
What are IT’s responsibilities with respect
to FRCP?
-
What steps your IT groups should follow to
help support the e-Discovery process?

Steps to help align themselves with the
needs of compliance officers and line of
