Federal rules regard email and other computer-generated information as writings and recordings that are admissible in court. In fact, electronic information can be the most incriminating evidence against a company in a lawsuit. Whether your organization gets subpoenaed to produce documentation or HR is conducting an internal investigation; locating information for a document discovery request can be very costly and time consuming. Many times, these requests are made under stringent court-imposed deadlines that pose many challenges to an organization trying to search large amounts of evidentiary material that is dispersed throughout the enterprise.
