Overcoming Resistance to Digital Transformation in E-Discovery
I spoke with Dave Ruel, the Head of Product at Hanzo, a developer of solutions for enterprise legal, governance, and compliance teams to manage their complex collaboration and web-based data. We discussed how the rise of collaboration apps and the onset of remote work have affected the way corporate legal operations and e-discovery professionals approach the preservation and collection of collaboration data for e-discovery and investigations, how legal teams can leverage technology to optimize their productivity, and best practices for overcoming resistance to digital transformation in e-discovery.
Best Practices for Assessing the Risks Related to Unstructured Data
I spoke with Peter Baumann, the founder and CEO of ActiveNav, a data privacy and governance software provider that serves various sectors, including legal. We discussed how unstructured data impacts legal organizations, the challenges of managing unstructured data, best practices for assessing the risks related to unstructured data, and how this issue is evolving.
Addressing Key Information Governance Challenges
I spoke with Craig Carpenter and Dean Gonsowski, the CEO and CRO, respectively for Gimmal, a provider of software and services to streamline the discovery, migration, governance, and compliance of information. We discussed the genesis of Gimmal, the biggest information governance challenges that legal teams need to address, how companies should revise their records retention and document management plans, and the impact that technology is having on the way organizations approach their e-discovery matters.
Data Mapping as a Service
I spoke with Dean Gonsowski, the chief revenue officer and chief marketing officer at ActiveNav, a data privacy and governance software provider. We discussed the challenges that ActiveNav is helping organizations overcome, its Data Mapping as a Service initiative, Zero Dark Data, and the relationship between information governance and privacy.
The ACC’s Data Steward Program
I spoke with Kenya Parrish-Dixon, the general counsel and chief operating officer for Empire Technologies Risk Management Group, a cybersecurity, information governance, e-discovery, and managed review consulting company. She is also a member of the global advisory board for the Association of Certified E-Discovery Specialists. We discussed how the pandemic has impacted the perception of cybersecurity, information governance, and e-discovery, and the Association of Corporate Counsel’s new Data Steward Program.
E-Discovery and Workplace Communications
I spoke with Matt Mahon, the National Manager for Information Governance and eDiscovery Sales at Ricoh. We discussed the workplace communications challenges that e-discovery and information governance practitioners are facing, whether professional communication has become more casual in this remote and work-from-home environment, and the challenges associated with interpreting emojis.
Helping Clients Reduce Risk and Manage Costs
I spoke with Jason Parkman, the CEO of Mitratech, an enterprise legal management software provider that helps corporate legal teams reduce their costs, collaborate, and increase their visibility.
We discussed Mitratech’s acquisition of CMO Software, a provider of Environment, Health and Safety & Governance, Risk, and Compliance solutions, as well as the integration of that company into its prior acquisitions of Bridgeway Software in July 2015, CaseTrack in August 2015, and Viewabill in March 2016. Parkman highlighted the competitive advantages that joining these entities provides, the benefits that clients can realize, and his views on future consolidation in the legal industry.
