Mini-Session Presentations Abstract

How General Counsel Can Mitigate Risks and Costs through Litigation Readiness

When it comes to controlling discovery costs, old habits die hard. Traditional approaches for small and paper-based document reviews, while familiar, no longer scale. Newer litigation-enabled solutions—like advanced search, concept organization, and near-duplicate and content analysis—can power highly productive document reviews of hundreds of documents per hour, and thereby dramatically decrease outside counsel fees. But are these solutions affordable? Even if so, are they reliable, scalable, and flexible to meet most eDiscovery needs? In-house attorneys did not learn answers to these questions in law school, but now, faced with constant litigation and investigative demands for electronic data—with fewer budget dollars to spend—they must decide how to proceed or risk leaving the decision to outsiders who have little reason to change their old, tired (and expensive) ways.

During this presentation, senior legal and technical experts from Stratify, a leading eDiscovery services provider (and an Iron Mountain company), will explore the changing relationships among in-house attorneys, outside counsel, and litigation support technology, as well as best methods and practices for reducing legal costs and risks, increasing document review efficiency and accuracy, and simplifying electronic data lifecycle management.

Global Records and Information Management Compliance: Challenges and Best Practices for Multinational Organizations

During this presentation, Iron Mountain will discuss challenges and emerging best practices related to implementing a records and information retention program on a global scale. Attendees at this presentation will learn about:

The overlap of records retention with data privacy and cross-border data transport restrictions, and Emerging best practices that enable companies to respond in practical, effective ways.

Enhancing the Usefulness of Physical and Digital Records: Closing the Gap between Best Efforts and Best Practices

A recent analyst study revealed that IT professionals understand the fundamentals of protecting, managing and storing their physical and digital records and information. However, key best practices are often not in place. Are CIOs doing enough to bet their badge on their current information management, storage, and protection strategies?

One of the greatest gaps between best practices and best efforts can be smartly bridged by outsourcing. During this presentation, Iron Mountain will discuss how the Storage-as-a Service delivery model is rapidly becoming a compelling option for IT professionals, because both physical and electronic information can be selectively offloaded from internal operational systems and stored with a third party for archive, retrieval, and destruction. Storing and protecting such information with a skilled outsourcing partner not only affords opportunities for cost savings and risk reduction, it also positions that information more flexibly for value-added uses such as eDiscovery.

Achieving Records Management Compliance with the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has issued guidance, directives, and facility surveys to ensure that records storage facilities containing Federal Records meet certain standards set forth in the 36 Code of Federal Regulations Part 1228 Subpart K (CFR). This regulation applies to federal government entities and companies that serve the federal government, including systems integrators and other federal contractors that create, manage, and/or archive information in the form of Federal Records in the performance of their federal government contracts.

In this presentation, Iron Mountain will highlight how judicious outsourcing of federal records management functions can significantly reduce capital expenditures, help comply with CFR standards and regulations, mitigate litigation risks, improve access and control, ensure privacy and security, and protect Federal Records data and information assets.
