"Deleting embarrassing e-mails isn't easy, experts say"

Apr 13, 2007

So, you think those embarrassing emails sent to the computer's trash can are truly deleted, right? Uh, no: "If Karl Rove or other White House staffers tried to delete sensitive e-mails from their computers, experts said, investigators usually could recover all or most of them. "The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is investigating whether the White House or the Republican National Committee erased 'a large volume of e-mails' that may be related to the firings of eight U.S. attorneys.

With 225 attorneys, and three branch offices in Chicago, Washington, D.C., and Naperville, Ill., we decided to leverage the decision to change our office copiers as an opportunity to gain more control over our workflow. "We needed a document-imaging system that our attorneys and other professionals could use with little or no training. We wanted our users to... Read more →

"Pillsbury Winthrop Faces E-Mail Pileup"

Oct 27, 2006

"The exponential growth of e-mail for client-related exchanges has increased the potential for knowledge management and records management breakdowns. Today's information is spread out in personal inboxes that can't be easily accessed, leveraged, protected and properly stored. When e-mail that should be part of the client/matter file sits in an e-mail inbox -- an unmanaged repository -- chances are that the knowledge contained in the e-mail may never be harnessed or, worse yet, could be lost or deleted. Content that constitutes a record may never... Read more →
