Recovered Emails Bedevil Qualcomm in Court • By DON CLARK - Wall Street Journal • October 9, 2007; Page B1 • Chip maker Qualcomm Inc. has long battled rivals in court. Near the end of one trial in January, Viji Raveendran, a senior company engineer, made a surprise disclosure: a search by her lawyers had turned up emails about a key issue that hadn't been shared with defendant Broadcom Corp. • "This is every trial lawyer's nightmare," says Francis H. Morrison III, a lawyer for Axinn Veltrop & Harkrider LLP who isn't involved in the case. • Others are having bad dreams, too. Failures in finding, saving and sharing emails are bedeviling large and small litigants, undermining their credibility with judges and affecting the outcome of high-stakes trials. New federal rules have reinforced companies' obligations to produce electronic evidence, which has exploded in volume as emails replace phone calls and other business communications.
E-mail Systems Have Simply Become Overloaded E-mail systems were not designed to store vast amounts of email and attachments for long durations. • Overloaded e-mail systems cause: • System down time • Bloated inboxes • IT imposed mailbox size limits • Private archives (.pst/.nsf files) • Lost data due to .pst/.nsf corruption • Increased storage costs • Increased backup and restore times • Time consuming server upgrades and consolidation • Overwhelming challenge managing e-mail backup tapes Companies are challenged to manage and store increasing amounts of e-mail. Implementing mailbox size limits is not the answer – employees keep local copies that may be discoverable, creating a compliance and legal nightmare. Backup/restore times take longer. Compliance requires e-mail to be retained more stringently for long periods of time – adding to the e-mail storage problem. Attachments Mail body
