• How SharePoint’s increasing social media capabilities challenge standard preservation and forensic collection
• How case law such as Pension Committee and Victor Stanley is relevant to SharePoint legal hold and preservation
• Understanding the SharePoint environment through the eTERA Consulting and StoredIQ Risk Assessment Program

Most eDiscovery solutions are limited in their visibility and scope to just SharePoint Document Libraries and a subset of metadata. They also lack the intelligence to distinguish between multiple versions of documents, and may return very large and inflated data sets for content analysis. In contrast, the StoredIQ solution fully supports all core SharePoint object types and all associated metadata including: Blogs, Wikis, Comments, Discussion Boards, Calendars, Tasks, Contacts, Issue Trackers, Announcements, Surveys, Links, Project Tasks, Picture Libraries, Records Center and Document Libraries.

For a demonstration and more information, visit StoredIQ this week at LegalTech West in Los Angeles – booth #204 – or visit www.StoredIQ.com to download eDiscovery for SharePoint resources.

As part of the AIIM Info360 eDiscovery conference track, StoredIQ will be discussing the risks and costs of inefficient information management.

WHERE: Walter E. Washington Convention Center —Washington, DC

WHEN: Wednesday, March 23 from 1:00 PM – 1:40 PM ET

TOPIC: Synchronize Your Approach to Information Management

DESCRIPTION: Organizations are forced to deal with vast and increasing amounts of unstructured information. IT departments have to operate on tighter budgets, and managing data is overwhelming. Organizations take a siloed approach to information management, dealing with eDiscovery, compliance and data storage separately; resulting in higher cost and increased business risk. Join StoredIQ vice president of field operations, Ellis Ishaya, as he discusses:

• How a synchronized approach to records and information management enables organizations to cut costs and gain more insight and control over their critical data needs, especially in today’s highly-regulated business world.
• How to properly find, classify and manage all information according to business value and risk.
• How to ensure a comprehensive, secure and efficient approach to meeting their governance and compliance needs.
• How to automate retention rules according to existing records retention schedules.

In addition to presenting, StoredIQ will exhibit our information intelligence solution at booth 1633 during the three-day event. Booth visitors can register to win a free data assessment service.

StoredIQ Booth - LegalTech 2011

We had a great time at LegalTech New York last week, highlighted by a number of successful meetings and the chance to speak with industry experts about where the legal technology market is headed in the coming year.

While the cloud remains a hot topic, we didn’t see one theme dominating the news or conversations at the show.  As usual, there were several product upgrade announcements, including our own announcement of enhanced eDiscovery support for SharePoint. David Roe covered our news in the CMS Wire GRC Roll-Up, and Sean Doherty provided a great recap in Wave of Product News Hits LegalTech New York.

We were also happy to see high attendance at LegalTech, which points to an increase in IT spending, as Gabe Acevedo pointed out his blog post, Fear and Loathing in LegalTech:

“The good news is that LegalTech seemed just about as big this year as it was last. It was hard to me to gauge whether or not it was bigger than it was in 2010, but the majority of people I spoke with thought that it was. That is a good sign for the economy and for the field of law.”

Monica Bay summed up the tone of the show nicely in her wrap-up post in the Common Scold blog:

“The conference had an unexpected undercurrent: optimism.”

After a couple of challenging years, it does feel as though the market is improving.  May LegalTech be the start to a great 2011 for the eDiscovery market!

• For the Foodie: Treat yourself to a slice of Carnegie Deli’s world-famous cheesecake.
• For the museum-Goer: Experience history at the Tenement Museum. Or check out a film screening at the MoMa.
• For the sports fan: Golf, bowl, play ice hockey or even rock climb at Chelsea Piers.
• For the movie buff: Tour the set of Seinfeld, Sex & The City or Friends; Or if theater is more your scene, take an Inside Broadway tour.
• For the music enthusiast: Listen to some live jazz at Joe’s Pub.
• For anyone that wants to relax after a long day at LegalTech: why not Drunk Bowling?

Whatever you decide to do, stay warm! See you at LegalTech – Booth 1615!

Here at StoredIQ we are focused on delivering powerful information management solutions that can provide the comprehensive data insight and control that corporate counsel, compliance managers, and records managers need to make the best and most informed business decisions, while meeting the stringent requirements that IT departments demand.

In addition to sponsoring the Risk Management conference sessions, StoredIQ will exhibit our intelligent information management solution at booth 930 during the two-day event.

TOPIC: eDiscovery Solutions

DESCRIPTION:
eDiscovery solutions enable organizations to identify, collect, analyze, process, and present data stored in various corporate repositories.  The data may be collected in response to lawsuits, internal investigations, or regulatory compliance requests.  eDiscovery solutions range from custom-built for each individual customer, to pre-packaged solutions that work out-of-the box in less than an hour.

This web conference brings together a speaker panel of eDiscovery experts to discuss how the market is evolving to address the growing need for legal data management and processing in the event of a lawsuit.

The web conference will be moderated by Sara Radicati and will feature guest speakers from Bridgeway, CaseCentral, Guidance Software and StoredIQ.

HOW: For more information about the Radicati eDiscovery Solutions webinar and to register, visit the Radicati website.

WHO: Jake Frazier, Managing Director —Huron Consulting, and Keith Zoellner, CTO — StoredIQ

WHEN: Thursday, September 30th — 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET

WHERE: Online – Virtual Corporate Counsel Conference

TOPIC: Driving Risk and Cost Out of the eDiscovery Process

DESCRIPTION:
From the obligation to identify and preserve, through to the critical processes of analysis and review, the entire eDiscovery process can be complicated and cumbersome.  Developing and executing an eDiscovery preparedness plan that is repeatable, defensible, and cost effective often presents a challenge. Without the proper people, processes and tools, companies can incur legal risk and consume an enormous amount of time and resources. This presentation will give attendees the understanding of how their organizations can:

• Create a foundation for an organized, systematic, and defensible approach to eDiscovery – resulting in predictable legal costs and reduced risk
• Analyze data in the wild, and in real-time – making more informed strategic legal decisions earlier in the eDiscovery process and reducing downstream review fees
• Create a symbiotic relationship between legal and IT – ensuring legally defensible audit trails throughout the eDiscovery process

CLE credits will be available for this educational session. For additional information about the Virtual Corporate Counsel Conference or to register, visit their website.

WHEN: Wednesday, June 9th  — 9:15 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. ET

WHERE: Marriott Marquis, New York City

TOPIC: Reducing Electronic Discovery Costs

DESCRIPTION:

For many companies, a substantial portion of the law department budget is devoted to “electronic discovery,” a line item that is mysterious to most general counsel. Many companies have found they can reduce these costs substantially by innovating in the four key areas. Moderated by Tom Morrissey with Purdue Pharma, this session will focus on reducing discovery costs in each of these four distinct areas:

• Identifying, preserving and collecting evidence
• Minimizing data sets with automation
• Analyzing quality and productivity
• Optimizing document review

Additional information about the GC East Conference is available from the conference website.

Join StoredIQ and analyst firm the 451 Group on Wednesday, January 27th for a web event as we discuss a new approach to ECA. By analyzing data “in the wild” — prior to Collection and Preservation — without moving data; we can significantly accelerate the benefits of ECA for law firms and corporate counsel including:

• Reducing the amount of data for downstream review
• Formulating “settle vs. litigate” decision sooner
• Collecting only smallest legally defensible data set

TOPIC: ECA in the Wild — When Earlier Really Matters

WHO: Keith Zoellner, CTO of StoredIQ & Nick Patience, Managing Analyst with the 451 Group

WHEN: Wednesday, January 27th — 3 pm ET /12 pm PT
