InformationWeek Seminar: Modernizing IT GRC

On February 10, 2010, Barclay will be a panelist at the InformationWeek virtual conference, “Modernizing IT Governance, Risk, and Compliance to Accelerate Flexibility and Visibility.”

Here is information on the session:

5:00 - 5:45: Panel Discussion - E-Discovery Drill Down: First hand insight on driving more efficiency, cost-value and priorities in electronic e-discovery initiatives.

Enterprises IT leaders who decided to adopt a “save everything” policy over the last few years are beginning to pay a heavy price in e-discovery cases. Federal courts have come down hard on companies that fail to properly archive information, putting a clear warning out that data retention policies need to actually work. Our panel will focus on establishing compliant-driven policies that prevent overloading or underloading information that may need to be retrieved in the future.

Speakers: Barclay T. Blair, noted author and head of Information Governance at Forensics Consulting; Brian W. Hill, Senior Analyst, Forrester Research; Tom Smith, E-Discovery expert and Lawyer, K&L Gates
Moderator: Brian Gillooly, Editor in Chief of Events, InformationWeek Business Technology Network

A Practice of Forensics Consulting Solutions, LLC

The Origin of FCS IG

FCS IG is a division of Forensics Consulting Solutions, LLC (FCS), a leading e-discovery consulting company with a global reach. In the course of providing e-discovery services, FCS witnesses the pain and cost of information mismanagement on a daily basis. We founded FCS IG to help our clients take control of their information environment before litigation or regulatory investigations begin.

The FCS Professional Services Group focuses on helping clients mange their information after litigation or an investigation has already commenced.

FCS IG helps clients before a lawsuit or investigation begins. We focus on helping the client manage their information better so when a lawsuit or investigation does begin, the client is better prepared to find and prepare the evidence that is required, thereby reducing the cost and pain of e-discovery.

However, our services also help clients outside of the e-discovery context by making information easier for employees to find and use it; getting rid of unnecessary information (thus reducing costs); and complying with federal and state laws and regulations.
