UK and eDisclosure: Indifferent or Distracted?
November 21, 2010
Businesses in the United Kingdom are slow to wake when it comes to eDisclosure practices despite a rising number of requests. Results from Recommind’s second annual UK eDisclosure survey relayed in the Information World Review article, “UK Enterprises Still Not Ready for eDisclosure”, state that one in two businesses have seen request increases, but two-thirds of the respondents dedicated less than 5% of their IT budget to meet those needs with 32% not even able to search e-mail archives.
Simon Price, Recommind’s European director, believes that while UK businesses are paying attention, they are unprepared to move beyond e-mail and meet today’s eDisclosure challenges. “Increasingly companies are finding themselves in situations where they are required to produce information from a variety of other sources, which can be a time consuming and expensive process if it’s a matter of searching through volumes of information which have been left to grow totally unmanaged.”
We say: In a lousy economy the legal climate may turn nasty and quickly.
