Concord, MA (PRWEB)

More than 50 rulings have further explained the email archiving and electronic discovery requirements of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, according to a whitepaper released by InBoxer, Inc. today.

"IT departments that put off implementing email archiving and electronic discovery systems need to know about five key court rulings issued this year," said Roger Matus, InBoxer CEO.

Some of the major points in the rulings, according to InBoxer, include:

  • The courts are no longer tolerant of organizations that have not implemented timely programs to accurately retrieve email.

  • Just implementing a policy for retention and litigation hold is not enough. Companies must prove they are enforced at all levels.

  • The penalties for failing to meet the FRCP deadlines can be an order of magnitude larger than putting a system in place.

  • Limited staff and resources are not excuses for missing deadlines, even for small organizations.

The whitepaper titled "The New Federal Rules of Civil Procedure: IT Obligations for Email," is available for download at Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
