No organization wants to deal with litigation. eDiscovery is expensive, time consuming and risky. What are the costs? Add them up. Litigation support vendors $75K - $180K; document reviewers $80K to $180K; document review - one gigabyte takes 12.5 days; junk cull $75K to $180K; and the costs continue to mount. This webinar, sponsored by C/D/H and Concept Searching, addresses the common challenges, technology approaches, and a solution guaranteed to deliver results.
SharePoint has records management and the improved eDiscovery Center, but without a framework and specialized tools you are still facing an uphill battle. Join us for this informative webinar about effective records management and eDiscovery technologies that save you money and time, and reduce organizational risk.
What you will learn during this session:
• How to develop a strategy to incorporate eDiscovery and records management into an enterprise content lifecycle management approach.
• Common strategic errors made in eDiscovery and records management.
• How to rapidly find the relevant responsive documents.
• Why vocabulary normalization is key to finding all relevant documents, regardless of keywords.
• Best practices for management of records for disposition, preservation and legal hold.
• Issues and pitfalls of records management in SharePoint, common strategic errors, and how they apply to eDiscovery.
• Types of architecture and tools for powerful and flexible management of unstructured and semi-structured content.

9. The Expensive Part
Attorney Processing and Review: Attorneys
determine which content will be provided to opposing
counsel.
“Discovery accounts for about 35% of total litigation
costs in the US…and is one of the top drivers for
moving email and documents into third party
archiving solutions. Given the growth of this area,
pure-play discovery software and discovery-enabled
are expected to be a $2.1b business by 2013”
Gartner
10. eDiscovery – The Rules
• If you have the requested information, you must produce it
• If you might have the requested information, you must find out – no
matter how difficult that is
• Responsive content that you can’t produce must have been
destroyed as part of a normal pre-defined business process – or you
are open to charges of spoliation
• Normal destruction processes must be suspended if a discovery
request is pending or imminent
• To use your own records in your defense, you must be able to show
they haven’t been altered from the time they became a record
(which may be from the time they were created)
• To claim attorney-client privilege on content, you must show
processes that reliably keep the information from being seen by
anyone else
11. What is Records Management?
The systematic control of records for their
entire life cycle
12. What is a Record?
A record is any evidence of what an organization does.
This can include but is not limited to:
• Contracts
• Correspondence
• Financial statements
• Personnel files
• Work product/Intellectual Property
13. Why Do Records Need to be Preserved or Destroyed?
• Preserved:
• Regulatory compliance
• Knowledge management
• Process consistency
• Destroyed
• Privacy of personal information
• Lowering costs of storage and administration
• (shhh!) Lowering eDiscovery risk!
14. Systematic Control
Predefined policies and procedures covering:
• Document types (including record types)
• Classification/metadata
• Planned storage locations
• File access/security
• File lifecycle or disposition
15. Other Elements of Control
• Identifying who is responsible and accountable for managing
records
• Communicating policies and procedures effectively
• Creating enterprise-wide classification schemas (taxonomies)
• Balancing complete and strict processes with usability
considerations
17. Challenges to Control
• Most document repositories can’t provide some or all of the
Elements of Control, so identifying the right repository is key
• Since most organizations in practice will have multiple repositories,
integration is key – whether through automation or user interface
• Users will look for ways not to comply with processes, so a
four-pronged strategy is needed:
• Automation wherever possible
• Forceful communication of policies
• Simple user interfaces for classification and declaration of records
• Answering the “what’s in it for me” question
18. ERM Tips
• Keeping too much is as costly as keeping too little
• ERM is about control, not access
• eRecords archives ≠ Backups
• Content determines whether something is a record, not where it is
stored or how it is transported e.g. email
• Policies are more important than technology – although technology
is a critical enabler

20. Protecting Corporate Memory
• Perceptions
• Low priority
• Responsibility of small group of specialists
• Failure looks like
• End user adoption
• Difficult interfaces, complex processes, and disparate tools
• Lack of integration with overall information governance plan
• Lack of policy enforcement
• Widespread non-compliance issues
• Success looks like
• Suits the organization’s workflow
• Easily adaptable by end users
• Easily integrated into end users’ daily activities
• Transparent
21. “It is simply not realistic to expect broad
sets of employees to navigate extensive
classification options while referring to a
records schedule that may weigh in at
more than 100 pages.”
Forrester Research/ARMA International Survey
22. Manual Tagging is a
Behavior Modification Problem
conceptClassifier automates the tagging process to remove the
behavior modification problem of manual tagging for Governance,
Findability and Migration
• conceptClassifier increases productivity,
improves ‘Findability’, automates
‘Governance’, migrates content
• Organizes intellectual assets and
provides a factor of improvement for
end users to find company information
with an automated tagging approach
for any search platform
• Improves ability to target content
through EMM/TS with 2013 Search and
SharePoint 2010/2013
• Improves SharePoint Portal Adoption
• Aligns content with governance polices
and federally mandated requirements
• Intelligently migrates content into and
out of SharePoint
• Mitigates Risk
• Reduces federal governance, corporate
information policy, and personally
identifiable information exposures while
improving eDiscovery audit capabilities
and ensuring alignment with content
retention policies
• Lowers cost of Administration
• Leverages native integration to
Microsoft stack, manages migration of
GUIDS
• Lowers cost of ownership to build out
and administer EMM/Term Store
• Intelligent content migration
• Intuitive user interface for easy
product adoption
23. Business Imperatives Driving The Issues
• Inability to process content that is created or ingested by concepts
contained within the content
• Poor search tools that do not retrieve content by concepts and use
complicated search queries and Boolean operators
• Unable to find hidden relationships between documents or identify
relevant information that may not contain the search criteria but are
highly relevant
• Increased risk exposure to protect and identify unknown privacy
exposures
24. The Costs
• 76% of data loss in Records Management is due to end user error
(Prism International)
• Only 28% of archiving decision-makers are very confident they can
demonstrate their digital information if accurate, accessible, and
trustworthy. (Forrester)
• No organization wants to deal with litigation. eDiscovery is
expensive, time consuming and risky
• What are the costs?
• Litigation support vendors $75K - $180K
• Document reviewers $80K to $180K
• Document review - one gigabyte takes 12.5 days
• Junk cull $75K to $180K
25. • Concept Searching’s unique statistical concept identification underpins all technologies
• Multi-word suggestion is explicitly more valuable than single term suggestion algorithms
Concept Searching has a unique approach to ensure success
• conceptClassifier will generate conceptual metadata by
extracting multi-word terms that identify ‘triple heart
bypass’ as a concept as opposed to single keywords
• Metadata can be used by any search engine index or any
application/process that uses metadata.

• Incorrect meta tags costs an organization $2,500 per
user per year – in addition potential costs for non-
compliance (IDC)
• Guide users to relevant content with taxonomy navigation
• Savings of $8,965 per year per user based on an $80K
salary (Chen & Dumais)
• 100% ‘Recall’ of content, 35% Faster access to
content ‘Precision’
• Use automatic conceptual metadata generation to improve
Records Management
• Eliminate inconsistent end user tagging at $4-$7 per
record (Hoovers)
• Improve compliance processes, eliminate potential
privacy exposures
