• 2:30 p.m. - 3:45 p.m. - Large enterprise email archiving projects often fail. Find out why.

  Kon Leong, President & CEO, ZL Technologies, Inc.
  E-mail and file archiving for the enterprise is still a nascent field that is expanding in scope and functionality. Required capabilities now include storage management, e-discovery and compliance and content management. Even analysts, let alone users, are only just beginning to grapple with the real challenges and pitfalls. Many large enterprises which made the leap early into email archiving have already gone through multiple vendors, with most still experiencing serious problems. Adding fuel to the fire, serious problems are now surfacing which users were previously unaware of. To minimize the risk of being saddled with the wrong solution, be armed with the hard questions that shred through the vendors' marketing fluff.

• 9:45 a.m. - 11 a.m. - The practical / legal case for not creating unnecessary electronic records
  Jon Neiditz, Partner, Nelson Mullins, VaporStream, Inc.
  E-Mail and IM can create massive amounts of records on a daily basis. Organizations incur enormous storage, archive management and EDD costs because email / IM are constantly creating records. However, most of these records are transitory and don't rise to the level of something that is desirable or necessary to keep. This session demonstrates why, and how, new communication technologies can reduce cost / risks to your organization and explains why these new technologies are perfectly legal and prudent.

  Litigation on electronic records - especially e-mail - is challenging lawyers to rethink best practices on records management. Time-honored legal advice is not faring well in the courts. What does this mean for enterprise policies on records retention and destruction?
