Thinning out the Hay: Litigation Readiness Made Easier

noemail@accesssciences.com — Mon, 05 May 2008 19:00:00 GMT

In the ediscovery phase of litigation and regulatory response, organizations are often asked to find a vital piece of information; a "needle" in the proverbial document haystack. This review process is the largest cost factor in discovery. So, finding that needle is a lot easier and less costly if there is less hay.

Join us as we share the rules and practices for identifying, organizing and reducing discoverable business content. Applying these practices now can reap rewards--reduced risk and reduced costs.

DATE: Wednesday, May 21, 2008
TIME: 2:00-3:00 P.M. (EASTERN), 1:00-2:00 P.M. (CENTRAL), 12:00-1:00 P.M. (MOUNTAIN), 11:00 A.M.-12:00 P.M. (PACIFIC), 7:00-8:00 P.M. (GT)

Access Sciences Expert to Host this Week's AIIM Wednesday Webinar

noemail@accesssciences.com — Mon, 24 Mar 2008 17:00:00 GMT

Controlling email with an eye on compliance and risk is crucial for every organization. Rather than jumping when the lawyers call and playing damage control should content go astray, organizations should take a proactive approach to managing their content so as to stay out of legal hot water. This event will focus on getting a handle on email as a starting point to a proactive eDiscovery strategy and will provide guidance for a new way of thinking about managing it. While email is the most critical starting point for eDiscovery for most organizations, attendees will be reminded that eDiscovery requires handling email and beyond, and cannot be effectively managed with point solutions. It must be part of an overall enterprise content management strategy.

Access Sciences Expert Asked to Weigh-in on State e-Records Controversy

noemail@accesssciences.com — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 14:00:00 GMT

View the original article at Star-Telegram.com. Perry will share his e-mails, send a bill By JAY ROOT Star-Telegram Staff Writer --> RICK PERRY AUSTIN -- Texas Gov. Rick Perry, under fire for his frequent purging of office e-mail, has agreed to give an open-government advocate a batch of electronic records that might otherwise have landed on the electronic ash heap of history. For a price. Perry's office wants to charge citizen activist John Washburn $142 for each day's worth of e-mail messages he asked for in his first request, according to a bill sent last week. At that rate, Washburn, a software consultant based in Milwaukee, has calculated that he would have to cough up $2,982 for what he has requested so far -- three weeks' worth of e-mail messages from the governor's staff computers. The invoice has intensified the spat over Perry's policy, first drafted when George W. Bush was governor, of destroying e-mail every seven days. Critics contend that...
