Recommind Study Says Legal and IT Now Pals
February 3, 2012
Recommind asserts that lawyers and IT can come coexist in a positive manner. Don’t believe it. Well, read the Recommind report and learn how. The Wall Street Journal reports, “Social Media Bringing IT and LEGAL Together, Recommind Study Reveals.”
The report found that both IT and legal departments prioritize eDiscovery. Each has its issues with the other, but most companies seem to understand they must work together to address this important requirement. The article quotes Recommind VP of marketing Craig Carpenter:
While the IT-legal relationship has sometimes been rocky, our third annual survey found encouraging signs that it’s improving. That said, the two will need to do even better over the next few years. Not only will corporate data continue growing at an exponential rate, but the two departments will face new challenges around social media and internal investigations that will force them to be quicker and more proactive than ever before.
See the article for more specifics on the path to productive collaboration. Perhaps it is possible.
In operation since the turn of this century, Recommind crafts predictive information management software for organizations the world over. Their solutions handle eDiscovery, enterprise search, and information governance. Our view is that attorneys and technologists often have difficulty becoming life long pals.
