A year after the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure e-discovery overhaul, a pair of corporate studies has concluded that fewer than half of U.S. companies have a clear strategy for managing electronically stored information and only a fraction of information technology managers have addressed the issue.
According to a new study by electronic discovery software and consulting company Kroll Ontrack Inc., only 43 percent of U.S. companies have a clear strategy for managing electronically stored information. Results from in-house lawyers in the U.S. also reveal that only 25 percent felt fully informed about relevant case law and regulations, 43 percent have a “good understanding” of applicable laws but could use more information and 31 percent reported either low to little understanding or hadn’t heard of electronically stored information.
