Looking back at LegalTech

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!

LegalTech attendees just want to have fun

The StoredIQ team is in chilly New York this week for LegalTech. If you’re going to be at LegalTech and have some time to get away from the frenzy of the show, we put together a list of fun things to do while you’re visiting the Big Apple:

• 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!

StoredIQ Sponsors Risk Management Track at Upcoming ARMA International Conference & Expo

StoredIQ will be the conference sponsor for the Risk Management Track during next week’s ARMA International conference. The premier event in the records and information management field, ARMA International’s 55th Conference & Expo, will be held November 7-10, 2010, at the Moscone Center West in San Francisco.

Sessions within the Risk Management Track include:

•    A Case Study: Are You Ready for E-Discovery?
•    Cost Containment: Preservation Techniques for Litigation
•    The Nuts and Bolts of E-Discovery
•    Access Control and Permissions in Electronic Record Keeping Systems
•    Integrating E-Discovery Services into Corporate Records Management Programs
•    Privacy for Records Management Professionals
•    E-Discovery On the Move: Mobile Communications
•    SharePoint and E-Discovery Readiness
•    E-Discovery: Defining an Architectural Roadmap

The need to understand what information exists, and manage it accordingly, has grown exponentially.  Whether required for legal eDiscovery, compliance mandates, internal governance, or government regulation, fundamentally, this mountain of murky data now represents enormous risk and cost to a company.

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. Booth visitors can register to win a free data assessment service from StoredIQ.
