Written by Administrator | August 22, 2013

In a world where the phone and fax machine once ruled, cloud computing and email now dominate. The business community is ever-changing, constantly evolving alongside technology. However, with advances in technology also come new risks and challenges. For instance, with the ever-increasing use of email come the litigation risks of e-discovery.

Email Archiving Services: How to Mitigate E-Discovery Risks Email is the heartbeat of business communication. So, important information is constantly being sent via email. For this reason, the only thing as important as email is the way in which you store and archive email to mitigate e-discovery (electronic discovery) risks. It doesn’t matter if your company is public or private, it is subject to e-discovery in litigation within the United States federal court system. This can require you to submit company email, IM chats, word processing documents, accounting databases and other electronic files. To mitigate these risks, businesses must implement a data retention policy and effectively search, retrieve, and produce information relevant to litigation or a government investigation. And since email is the number one source of relevant information for litigation, it is the best place to start. But how?
