Litigation holds can cause corporate heartburn. Why? This post from Insight Optix discusses why and what to do about it!

Their post (Litigation Holds Causing Corporate Heartburn? Ease the Pain with this eDiscovery Antacid., available here) discusses how effective data management has become a critical challenge for organizations in the era of big data. With over 95% of global organizations facing a need to manage unstructured data, over 40 percent saying they must do so on a frequent basis and so much Redundant, Obsolete and Trivial data (ROT), that would give any corporation heartburn.

Data remediation is a critical hygiene process for effective data, management, storage, and protection. The word “remediation” derives from the word “remedy,” which means to correct a problem. Data remediation is the remedy for corporate heartburn – until a litigation hold is implemented, that is. Then, you need to suspend data remediation for the data under hold, for as long as it remains under hold. And that’s only the beginning as the data multiplies for each custodian.

So, what can you do to ease the corporate heartburn of litigation holds? Check out their article here to find out! It’s only one more click! Oh, what a relief it is! 😉
