Office 365 has MAJOR implications for the Information Governance and eDiscovery communities as both the volume and types of ESI created and stored in this cloud service is growing at historic rates. Much of the unstructured ESI subject to discovery and requiring intelligent governance already resides in Office 365—or soon will. The only question is to what degree your organization can stay ahead of the curve by leveraging Office 365’s built-in eDiscovery and IG tools combined with reasonable policies and workflows.

Topics will include:

• A clear explanation of what Office 365 is and how it works
• The types of ESI and information contained in Office 365
• Key Information Governance and eDiscovery challenges presented by Office 365
• Compliance with the new federal rules of procedure and resultant case law
• Offensive and defensive tactical considerations for Office 365 under the new rules for proportionality, objections and sanctions
• The built-in features and capabilities for Information Governance and eDiscovery in Office 365, including in-place eDiscovery, legal hold, data loss prevention, and email management.

Arm yourself with the knowledge and insight needed to effectively collaborate with your organization and client’s IT and information security teams when it comes to evaluating, implementing, and managing Office 365. It’s not just an IT issue!
