The Problem

Many organizations today do not have a definitive picture of how their information is stored; where it’s located; what legal or businesses value it has; how to most effectively access and use it; or when and if they can dispose of it. This lack of clarity leads to unnecessary effort, cost, and risk.

The time for organizations to learn that their records policy, retention schedule, or legal hold practice is broken is not in the middle of a lawsuit or investigation. That is why, at FCS IG, we focus on helping clients proactively establish an information governance foundation that prepares organizations for whatever may come – including lawsuits, investigations, divestitures, mergers, and perhaps most importantly -  growth and success.

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.
