StoredIQ CTO Keith Zoellner to Discuss Best Practices for Reducing eDiscovery Costs at Annual GC East Conference

WHO: Panel of leading eDiscovery experts including Keith Zoellner, CTO, StoredIQ

WHEN: Wednesday, June 9th  — 9:15 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. ET

WHERE: Marriott Marquis, New York City

TOPIC: Reducing Electronic Discovery Costs

DESCRIPTION:

For many companies, a substantial portion of the law department budget is devoted to “electronic discovery,” a line item that is mysterious to most general counsel. Many companies have found they can reduce these costs substantially by innovating in the four key areas. Moderated by Tom Morrissey with Purdue Pharma, this session will focus on reducing discovery costs in each of these four distinct areas:

• Identifying, preserving and collecting evidence
• Minimizing data sets with automation
• Analyzing quality and productivity
• Optimizing document review

Additional information about the GC East Conference is available from the conference website.

Webinar: ECA in the Wild – When Earlier Really Matters

One of the most valuable and indispensable techniques used by corporate counsel is Early Case Assessment (ECA). However, the effectiveness of ECA has traditionally been diminished because it occurred close to the review stage of the EDRM, requiring that data already be processed and loaded into a review system. Not anymore.

Join StoredIQ and analyst firm the 451 Group on Wednesday, January 27th for a web event as we discuss a new approach to ECA. By analyzing data “in the wild” — prior to Collection and Preservation — without moving data; we can significantly accelerate the benefits of ECA for law firms and corporate counsel including:

• Reducing the amount of data for downstream review
• Formulating “settle vs. litigate” decision sooner
• Collecting only smallest legally defensible data set

TOPIC: ECA in the Wild — When Earlier Really Matters

WHO: Keith Zoellner, CTO of StoredIQ & Nick Patience, Managing Analyst with the 451 Group

Massachusetts Privacy Law – 201 CMR 17: Compliance Luncheon

If you live or own a business in the State of Massachusetts you are probably well aware that beginning on March 1st, a new law takes effect which requires all companies to show they have implemented a technology plan that will safely and securely protect Personal Individual Information (PII) which includes: Last Name, Social Security Number, Driver’s License Number, Bank Account Number, Credit or Debit Card Number within electronic files or databases. Key provisions of the law direct companies that store Massachusetts tax payers’ PII to:

• Limit the amount of personal information collected, how long it is kept, and restrict access on a need-to-know basis;
• Identify records containing personal information, or treat all records as if they did;
• Regularly monitor employee access to personal information;
• Assess internal and external security risks and the effectiveness of current safeguards, upgrading as necessary;
• Prevent terminated employees from gaining access to personal information;
• Ensure service providers are capable of protecting personal information, contractually bind them to do so, and have them certify that they have a compliant written information security program.

Enforcement of 201 CMR 17 takes effect on March 1, 2010. If your business hasn’t yet taken steps to comply with the new Massachusetts’ PII laws, there is still some time.  NuTech, in conjunction with StoredIQ and other technology partners are sponsoring a free luncheon on the Massachusetts Privacy Law on Thursday, January 28^th in Boston.

Guest Speakers include:

• Diane Lawton, General Counsel, Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation
• Gerry Young, CIO Secretariat, Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation
