Mission to Comply
e-Discovery, e-records management and the mitigation of internal fraud ' such as the theft of intellectual property and trade secrets ' are three of the top compliance priorities for in-house counsel. Because all three center around computer data, the technical ability of business concerns to properly manage, identify, search and retrieve computer information across the global enterprise in an efficient manner is necessary, in fact, imperative, these days. As such, while well-developed processes and managerial oversight are important, deploying effective enterprise-class computer investigation and retrieval technology is also needed to achieve meaningful compliance. Without such a capability, compliance efforts become highly manual, inefficient and expensive, and lead to compromises in the execution of even the best designed processes.
For these reasons, large organizations are turning to enterprise computer-investigation technology to address such technical challenges and facilitate compliance. Such a capability enables highly scalable and thorough searches of systems across their wide-area network to identify, collect and process computer evidence. Enterprise computer-investigation systems provide an overall framework to enable compliance with e-discovery requirements, audit and enforce e-records management policies and conduct thorough computer investigations in a reactive and proactive manner to address internal fraud and IP theft.
With a single platform providing a mechanism to perform computer investigations and audits, counsel then is able to ensure that the organization addresses a multitude of compliance priorities while achieving a dramatic return on investment.
