Document Storage in Kenya

This is a bit non-technical for our blog, but I thought it was interesting and thus print worthy. In my daily "document management" Google search today, I stumbled across an article about the Kenyan government setting up a large data center for the Government and various private businesses. We take for granted that our tech-infrastructure in the West is so advanced, that sometimes you forget what a marvel it is that our business even exists.

According to the article:

"Information permanent secretary, Dr Bitange Ndemo, said there was growing need to have the facility as most organisations digitise their documents and the anticipated landing of two submarine fibre optics, Teams and Seacom, in the country by September next year.Building a data centre where a number of organisations can store their data will eliminate the duplication of a number of private companies putting up individual information storage facilities. "

Taking Pro Active Steps with eDiscovery

This morning I came across the first article in a six-part series on utilizing eDiscovery at your business. eDiscovery programs have fast become one of the most sought-after document management options, so I thought sharing this series with readers might be of some value. The first part is specifically on the importance of putting an eDiscovery program in place before you are slapped with a lawsuit.

Here is an interesting segment of the first article:

"A single e-discovery action can easily involve many millions of documents, and human effort to review this volume of information is a fool's game -- not to mention impossibly expensive. It is absolutely necessary to employ e-discovery technology tools that will take on the task that human effort can no longer do."

I will follow-up with more on these articles later in the week. In the meantime, follow the link for the complete text of article number one.
