Social Media Collection And Preservation

There are some that believe social media is replacing email. In reality, it will take time for social media adoption to occur and for everyone to abandon email – lots of time perhaps. As companies transition and begin to leverage social media, there is the opportunity to avoid the mistakes made in the email generation. One thing is clear: companies that dive into social media without the right policies and solutions to govern usage will encounter information governance and eDiscovery nightmares down the road.
