Leveraging Technology and E-Discovery Tools for Use in Records and FOIA

Leveraging Technology and E-Discovery Tools for Use in Records and FOIA.  The President, the Department of Justice, and NARA have prioritized modernizing the way agencies meet records, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), and e-discovery requirements.  For example, on August 24, 2012 all federal agencies were directed to move towards "managing both permanent and temporary email records in an accessible electronic format" by 2016 and that all permanent electronic records be managed electronically" by 2019.  This session will address the need for innovation and leveraging technology for agency records, FOIA, and e-discovery functions.  Case studies and practical guidance and suggestions will be shared.
