E-discovery on email
Emails are the most important piece of evidence in legal actions. It provides concrete details of statements made, pictures and documents, agreements and change orders, inappropriate language and state of mind. Every organization must be concerned with the emails flowing through their servers.
Sales people can make agreements and promises that are contractual obligations; potential HUGE legal issues for emailed jokes, sexual harassment, age discrimination, religious persecution, bullying, ethnicity slurs, and financial disclosures; new product features and competitive exposures can get out instantly around the world; and other big exposures - deal terms, credit card, patient information, and more.
No matter how many mailboxes you have or which industry you are in, email is one of your biggest legal exposures. Email is forever - even if you delete it, people can forward copies outside of your network. Everyday there are news stories about scandalous emails being disclosed.
