Federated Search – Behind the Covers
Businesses of all sizes are migrating files from unstructured file shares to onsite and cloud based content collaboration systems at a remarkable rate. Microsoft’s SharePoint 2010 and 2013 are finally seeing rapid adoption and eDJ working analysts have seen increasing inquiries on managing eDiscovery and compliance risks in these new environments. Almost all of these new ESI repositories come with search indexes to support the end user experience and to satisfy new information governance requirements like the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act. We will be publishing a research report on the IT impact of the new ‘corporate transparency’ mandates shortly, but I wanted to explore the risks and benefits of leveraging the ‘in-place’ search indexes.

Symantec Vision – Buckles Perspectives on Symantec 4.0
It has been over six years since I left Symantec’s product management team, but that has not kept me from the annual Symantec Vision conference. This year’s theme was the massive “Symantec 4.0” reorganization and strategic overhaul initiated this January by the new CEO Steve Bennett. In the keynote, Bennett acknowledged that Symantec has great individual business lines and assets, but has fallen short of customer’s needs for integrated solutions. I won’t even try to cover all of the changes in leadership, business units, products and road maps. Instead, I will stick to my perspective on the potential eDiscovery impact for current or prospective Symantec customers. Keep in mind that Symantec has never been known for fast and nimble development cycles. I believe that Symantec 4.0 needs to deliver an initial round of functional, coherent offerings in the next six to nine months convince a skeptical market that the changes are working.

HP Analyst Conference – Autonomy and More
I recently was at the HP Analyst Conference learning about the “new” HP which includes the role of Autonomy in the HP ecosystem. The event was held at the beautiful Westin Waterfront hotel right outside downtown Boston and there were over 300 leading technology analysts covering the event. Day one started off with a keynote presentation by Meg Whitman who reassured the analysts that her primary goal was to restore HP to an industry leading company and that 2013 was the year to focus on fixing and rebuilding, after using 2012 to evaluate the core competencies and foundations of their assets. The HP exec team rolled out a strategic roadmap focusing on the “New Style of IT” which is a combination of hardware (printers, PC’s, and tablets), converged infrastructure (servers,storage, and networking), software (this is where Autonomy legal fits in), [...]

A Real Experience With Social Media Archiving
Towards the end of Q1, we plan to do some more research on “social business” and eDiscovery. As I posted about previously, we are expanding our social media governance topic to include “social business.” Email as long been a primary target of eDiscovery because so much communication travels through email. Increasingly, though, people use more types of “social” interactions including instant messaging (IM) and both internal (e.g. Jive) and external (e.g. FaceBook, Twitter) social media. eDiscovery and information governance (IG) professionals need to be able to govern, collect, preserve, review, and produce all records of collaboration within an organization.

Are unstable backup tapes a real problem?
I recently hit a snag during a migration project when a client’s back up tapes could not be restored due to physical tape failure. At the time I thought, “here we go again, unreliable tape backup”. Then I started to wonder, was this a real problem or just an urban legend like alligators in the sewers? I realized I didn’t truly understand the scope of the problem because all of my information was anecdotal. Anecdotal isn’t helpful when trying to compare backup and disaster recovery options. Cloud storage is the newest entry and stakeholders may be tempted to flock to it as the panacea for all of their storage ills. This is an important decision and it requires hard metrics, not just a vague feeling that one or other of the methods is unreliable or not secure. I started with [...]
