ESI Isn't Just for Lawyers Anymore

Welcome to 2009. We'll be kicking off the new year here at the GRM document storage blog by sharing an article from WWPI.com on the merits of electronically stored information, eDiscovery and how these trends have found their way into the day to day operations of businesses outside of the legal field.

According to the piece, "Personal digital assistants like the Blackberry, notebook and laptop computers, even cell phones with text messaging are all subject to data discovery requests. Managers, lawyers and IT professionals (whether in-house or outside vendors) must work together to create an in-depth understanding of a company’s electronic document trail."

This is an excellent point, and managing, cataloguing and handling the ever-increasing amount of digital data a business handles is a slippery slope. GRM has worked with legal professionals and many other business sectors for years on instituting and catering to digital data storage needs.
