Computer Technology Review brought together three experts to discuss compliance, e-discovery and relevant IT issues. One question was about the "pain points" that companies likely will feel this year. The answer ran along these lines: somehow store and accounting for all types of electronic communications in a way that satisfies all departments, from IT to legal, at a time when the budget isn't likely to expand. To keep up, you may be looking at some upgrades, to a new Exchange version at least, that may prove costly. But when the budget rubber hits the road, you will be forced to come up with ways to Band-Aid your current system. Good luck. Probably a good idea to look into this now. The last thing you want is to come up short during a legal proceeding.
