About
In the typical corporation, over 95% of all new information is created electronically. Last year, over 16 billion business emails were sent every day. This year, the number will be even higher. Add to this the fact that the number of devices capable of sending and receiving electronic data is likely only going to increase in the coming years, and the picture is clear: every company, regardless of size, needs to ensure that its document management policies and procedures are up to the unique challenges that e-discovery presents. Failure to prepare now will lead to costly legal and procedural consequences later.
Despite an escalation in litigation and the rapid increase in the flow of information, the seemingly overwhelming amounts of data and the skyrocketing costs associated with them can be effectively managed and brought under control. This publication from the American Conference Institute’s 6th Annual Advanced Forum on Document Management & E-Discovery has been developed to help you do exactly that. We have brought together document management and electronic discovery experts as well as federal judges and leading private practice attorneys, to provide you with effective strategies and expert advice for:
- Implementing a document management system tailored to your specific needs
- Protecting your company from becoming the next Qualcomm
- Improving the communication and interconnectedness of in-house legal teams, IT departments, outside counsel, and vendors
- Maximizing economic gains and minimizing security and compliance risks when outsourcing
- Ensuring the admissibility of electronic evidence
