Last time, we discussed some trends in the ediscovery market.  One trend we’re seeing within organizations is an increased focus on information management.

This information management focus comes from a perfect storm of problems that companies are facing right now.  Regulatory compliance is at the forefront of most technology-related decisions, but other factors play a role in deciding how to get a grip on how information flows within an organization.

One important aspect that any information management system must account for is the ability to create a legal hold.  When an employee or company may the subject of litigation, it is important that documents are properly preserved to avoid evidence spoliation.  Having a single appliance that can defensibly handle this task would be of great benefit to any company.  Most solutions we are seeing deployed now are much more patchwork, as companies also worry about things like DLP (data loss prevention) and the security of proprietary information.
