Interesting Series on eDiscovery Collections

I spent some time reading through this series of posts on the Xact Data blog last night. While we would always take any post from a vendor about the dangerous of any organization collecting data instead of hiring an expert, for obvious reasons, (Including the one I work for) I do think they’ve provided plenty of solid information on the topic.

Because, at the end of the day, even if you decide to go the route of using your own resources to perform data collection, these are the things you want to consider and be mindful of, like making sure the person collecting understands the legal issues, or that it’s being done by someone with the proper training, not just a random IT person or user. They also do a nice job in the last two posts of letting us know what the courts are saying about collection, and the ramifications of getting it wrong.

Those are vital things to stay informed about. So I suggest taking a look.

    The idea that I would leave college knowing what I wanted to do, find a company to dedicate myself to, and spend my adulthood doing that thing is a joke to me. It’s been an unrealistic expectation for a long time. GenZ is just the first generation where we stopped even trying to convince them of it because it’s become too obvious.

    People Don’t Just Want Tools

    Saw an article the other day that reminded me of something I rediscover with every training class. “I teach my people on day one…’People don’t want drills, they want holes.’” There’s something very profound in that statement. The reality that “most” people don’t buy tools, or technology, just because they want the technology. They buy…
