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?
