The corporate environment in today’s information driven age is fraught with divergent ways of managing information and data that are useful in daily operations of the organization. These data generally referred to as Electronically Stored Information (ESI) has exploded in size exponentially over the years, further complicating issues surrounding storage, retention, retrieval, and manageability. Increasingly, the different ways of implementing control over these ESI, and the amended requirements of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedures mandating making ESI available to demanding parties, have brought about Information management issues and strategic challenges which custodians of data must address.

The need for Electronically Stored Information (ESI) discovery is growing. Current research and empirical evidence proves that it will continue to grow exponentially with the proliferation of digital content. Due to the nature of ESI, its structure, storage, indexing and retrieval, there is an expectation of complex issues that is inherent with digital content management. And more so with discoverable ESI, given all the statutory and nifty intricate details involved. It is even more complex when it involves execution of processes across international borders.

Compliance, readiness, preparedness, all suggests a state of achievement
for any organization that conducts its business critical operations originating, exchanging and handling electronic data across a local area network or beyond. With the proliferation of digital transmission of data, and the dependence on emails as a means of exchange and communication, corporations are required by law to meet certain standards backed by government mandates and regulations. With these in mind, a corporation that is forward thinking will develop policies and procedures that will lessen the possibilities of sanctions should it be required to produce responsive documents and data during a trial process.
