The adoption of emoji in workplace communication continues to evolve while technology and usage increases.  And, discovery considerations involving emoji continue to increase.  Here’s a webinar that digs deeper into the most common emoji being used at work, who is using them, and in what context.

TODAY, EDRM will conduct the webinar Emoji in the Workplace at 1pm ET (noon CT, 10am PT), sponsored by Ricoh USA.  Matt Mahon of Ricoh will discuss uses of emoji today in the workplace and will also explore technology advancements for the collection, processing and review of emoji for investigations and litigation.
