Most Corporations Unready for New Federal Rules of Civil Procedure on Electronic Evidence
Evidence Discovery Legal • Search • Review • Redact • Present New FRCP: How Does This Impact You? • Your Organization faces a >95% chance of litigation in 2007 • You MUST know where your documents live • You MUST keep relevant documents with metadata • FULL Records Management is INEVITABLE • You MUST be able to search for and present documents intact regardless of location
Summary of Rule Change / Clarification • An assessment of the organization’s information policies and procedures to ensure that the right records and information can be located, preserved and produced for discovery when necessary. • The creation of an effective Legal Hold policy to stop the destruction of records and information due to routine business processes or other reasons. • A process for disseminating a clear and effective Legal Hold notice to inform employees and others of their responsibility to preserve certain records / information for litigation. • Assessment of the organization’s IT infrastructure to ensure it can effectively support the Legal Hold process and preserve all necessary records and “data compilations” without hindering business processes. • Points of contact across the organization’s business units that possess a thorough knowledge of their areas’ records and information, as well as what form those records are in and where they are located.
Summary of Rule Change / Clarification (continued) • Within 30 days of filing a discovery order opposition counsels must meet to decide how to handle electronic evidence discovery. • Firms must agree on what records are shared and in what format. • Gartner Analyst John Bace said, “… companies will need to act immediately to avoid the potential for sanctions and "negative inferences" in court battles; … organizations should quickly take steps to develop records retention policies and content management procedures to help protect the organization in case records are lost.”

What, When, Where and How of Structured Data capture as “official” business records • What conclusions has your organization arrived at regarding • What, When, Where, and How • Keep it simple • Point of “authentication” vs. a draft • Reports Management System: Things to be aware of • LARGE BLOBS • Application and Release of Hold Orders • Unique disposition step-by-step processes • Example: Web Transactions at business records • Content, Structure, Context
Structured Data as Business Records • Capturing the Input & Output is key • Manage in-place vs. capture and preserve in a secure repository (ECM) • In-place: no duplication, use production system when performing discovery • Move to a secure repository: use same user interface, helps ensure desired high performance of the transactional system
Why Federated Records Management Matters • Content and records management have been departmental investments, creating many content silos • Reports Management data has typically not been brought under records control • Compliance requires complete access and control over records stored across many disparate systems • Consolidating all records to a single repository is typically not a viable alternative in the short-term • IBM Federated Records Management leverages legacy content / records investments Centralized records management helps ensure consistent application of recordkeeping policies… …regardless of where information is stored
Benefits of IBM Federated Records Management • Reduce risk through automated, consistent application of the records program all content stores • Bring third-party content repositories under records control • Bring reports data under records control • Help meet compliance and litigation requirements • Accelerate enterprise records deployment • Reduce the initial and ongoing costs of recordkeeping • Provide a “future-proof” infrastructure • Add, remove, change repositories without disrupting records management and/or risking noncompliance

Metadata is a key element in every electronic business record • Why is Metadata important? • It is often impossible to establish authenticity and relevancy of records w/o supporting metadata • Requesting parties are entitled to “all” metadata supporting records produced in discovery • Application Metadata vs. System Metadata • Application metadata is embedded within the file, it describes the file and moves with the file when it is copied • System metadata is an analogous to a library card catalog, it is stored and maintained external to the file • “Every” active file (no exception) in a computer system maintains system metadata used to track the file location & file demographics (i.e., file name, size, creation, modification, and usage) • MS Windows and MS Word example: • Metadata supporting may be larger than the file itself, 80+ application & system metadata fields tracked for MS Word .doc files
