Over the past two decades, email has revolutionized business communication. It has become a critical tool replacing many of the more traditional methods of communication, collaboration and transmission. Consequently, email messages may be subject to information lifecycle management requirements for preservation, protection, retention, and disposition. Unfortunately, most email systems lack the necessary information management and governance functionality that allows an organization to control and manage email in accordance with its records retention requirements. This session will examine whether email generated by the courts should be considered records and therefore require enhanced controls. Further, best practices regarding the management of email will be examined, as well as the technical, operational and “change management” implementation challenges.
