Email Discovery
Motions to discover electronic data are commonplace in today’s world of litigation; yet, more often than not, companies are unprepared to find electronically stored information, especially email and the associated attachments. In fact, discovery costs represent at least 50% of the cost of litigation—and most discovery efforts and costs relate to the collection and review of email.
Amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) require any company with the potential for litigation within the U.S. federal court system to preserve email and have the ability to produce it quickly when requested for legal discovery purposes. The bottom line is that organizations must know where their data is, how to retrieve it and how to meet data requests.
To avoid heavy fines and severe legal sanctions, companies need an easy way to search for relevant email to quickly meet legal discovery requests. An effective email archiving solution can help mitigate these legal risks, with minimal involvement from the IT department.
An archiving system with built-in discovery capabilities should offer:
- Automatic capture of every email, attachment and IM in a centralized, online repository
- Real-time search and retrieval functionality
- Export capabilities for multiple file types (e.g. EDRM XML, etc.)
- Email preservation capabilities (legal holds, protection of attorney-client communications)
