The means by which we communicate for business has changed utterly over the last decade. The impact of Covid and enforced working from home have accelerated these changes.  It is now the norm to have meetings held virtually, use instant messaging to communicate with clients and colleagues and rely on cloud hosting platforms for data storage and sharing. Great news for business efficiency but is it bad news for those charged with collecting data for litigation, investigations and compliance?

In this panel we will discuss how to get a handle on your data by:

• Creating robust data maps;
• Conducting custodian interviews;
• Collecting data from all relevant sources

Using the right tools to process, review and produce different data types.
