Room: West Grand Ballroom
Life is unpredictable and STUFF happens! But, it is predictable
that your organization WILL get sued! Statistics are in your favor.
You need insurance, now, to improve your position, when you are
in the courtroom. A good records management program along
with technology and process can be your insurance against a
devastating law suit. Protect your organization like you would
yourself.
The speaker will discuss your records management program,
including: how you pay for it; how it pays you back; what technical
measures you need to employ; the role of "check-ups" or
audits; breaking habits that cost you money and leave your
vulnerable; tips from judges and experts for insuring your best
legal posture; and saving you money. Don't miss this engaging,
irreverent discussion on what to do before "stuff" happens.

ETA1: E-Discovery Technologies and Services in the 2009 Economic Environment: In-sourcing, Outsourcing and Hybrid Solutions
Sponsored by Electronic Evidence Discovery
It is clear from recent court decisions, such asVictor Stanley andQualcomm, that parties need to develop more reliable, transparent and defensible methods for the preservation, collection, search, review and production of ESI. Now facing increased economic pressure, the decisions on what can be in-sourced or outsourced have become even more hotly debated inside corporations.
Join our panelists for an engaging discussion on how corporations are managing these important decisions, what enterprise content management tools are available to allow corporations to manage aspects of discovery on their own and how outside service providers are using advanced analytics, process definition and technology to significantly reduce discovery costs.
ETA2: Finding and Using the E-Discovery Easy Button: Risks and Rewards from Simplifying E-Discovery
Sponsored by Quest Software
E-discovery challenges are readily apparent to sophisticated IT and legal departments who routinely deal with multiple, competing interests raised by e-discovery concerns. Both IT and legal teams must understand issues such as identifying where responsive data resides, how to best address meet-and-confer obligations and develop a cost-effective discovery response strategy. Amid putting out case-specific fires, IT and legal teams must also implement retention policies, control access to ESI, and ensure that critical data can be located and accessed in a timely manner. This session will explore risks and rewards from simplifying e-discovery processes, and will discuss ways to close existing technology gaps along with providing real-world best practices and advice.
Speakers:
Keri Farrell, Product Manager, E-Discovery, Quest Software
P. Brian See, Chair, Electronic Discovery and Litigation Technology practice group, Williams Mullen
ETA3: Unified Communications Best Practices: How to spend less and get more.

Seminar attendees will review the most commonly implemented UC features and corresponding benefits, the newest Microsoft UC developments and implementation costs of a hosted vs. a do-it-yourself UC approach.
Speaker:
Frank Grillo is a noted speaker in the North American telecom and VoIP circuits – educating thousands of IT decision makers on emerging trends in VoIP technology, key advantages and disadvantages of hosted versus premise-based solutions, and the importance of Business Continuity planning in enterprise communications.
ETA4: Privileged & Confidential: The Private Parts of eDiscovery
Sponsored by CT Summation
In an age of constant connectivity – juggling mountains of personal and work email; mobile access to countless applications; rampant blogging and online networking – is there any such thing as workplace privacy? Does our pervasive use of technology for all things personal and professional lull employees into a false sense of ownership over electronic communications?
This presentation addresses the current state of privacy law as it pertains to data viewed or created at work. Explore the fundamentals of protected workplace privacy, weighing factors like data type, an office's location and the influence of privilege. Learn what to consider when monitoring, collecting and producing electronically stored information in the work environment – and what both the employer and employee can do to balance and protect personal and corporate interests.
