What a Difference a Decade Makes
“More than 3 years after the Sept. 11 attacks, more than 120,000 hours of potentially valuable terrorist-related recordings have not yet been translated …and computer problems may have led the bureau to systematically erase some Qaeda recordings…[t]he investigation found that limited storage capacities in the system meant that older tapes had sometimes been deleted automatically to make room for newer materials, even if the recordings had not yet been translated”
- NY Times on 911 Commission
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit;
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Why Can’t Most Climb Everest?
“I dream of a better tomorrow, where chickens can cross the road and not be questioned about their motives.”
“But databases frequently turn into information dumps, teeming with poorly classified or outdated information.” - Growth at McKinsey Hindered Use of Data,” WSJ
Info Volumes Are Everest-esque
• IDC -2800+ exabytes of new info in 2012 – 1 exabyte = 50,000 years of DVD movies
• What about old stuff? A closed mouth
gathers no foot. IDC predicts storage will increase 44 x in next 10 yrs.
Is Information Governance Working?
• “In an Aug. 15, 2005, voicemail messages addressed to company salespeople…”
• “…the document written by Dr. Geller doesn’t accurately reflect the company’s position in 2000. In fact, it was not Dr. Geller’s ultimate view either. It was an initial draft for discussion purposes.”
• “In response to a plaintiffs’ attorney’s question, Dr. Geller responded that the statement was “an artifact of an earlier discussion document.”
- The Wall Street Journal
Changing Mindset About the Lifecycle
• Information has a lifecycle• Dead information smells• Who makes end of life decisions
Is Information Still an Asset?
• 88% have large volumes of legacy info • 71% have no idea of the content in stored data• 58% are keeping information indefinitely• 79% indicated too much time & effort is spent manually
searching & disposing info• 58% still rely on employees to decide how to apply
corporate policies (i.e. retention, privacy, security) to their information

If a wolf can take down a
deer from either flank, does that
make him bambidextrous?
Big is Only Part of Problem
More than a “big mountain problem”• Control on content creation• Management of storage• Application of retention rules• Bad policy decisions• More systems• Newer technologies and formats• Outside centralized control• Manage content in place• Employees doing heavy lifting
He has no enemies, but is intensely disliked by his friends.
IT Impact
“Handling double-digit data growth rates with single-digit budget increases is the lot of most CIOs, according to our third annual InformationWeek Analytics State of Enterprise Storage Survey. The amount of data we're actively managing continues to expand at around 20% per year, and we see a long tail of besieged IT staffs dealing with growth rates exceeding 50%. At these levels, most data centers will double storage capacity every two to three years”
To steal ideas from one person is
plagiarism.
To steal from many is
research.
Legal & Governance Impact
• According to IDC, the size of the eDiscovery industry is expected to reach $21.8 billion in 2011
• “It costs around 20 cents to BUY 1GB of storage, however, it costs around $3,500 to REVIEW 1GB of storage” (AIIM)
• Not uncommon for a custodian to have 10 – 50 GB of data
• “…organizations paid a low of $750,000, and a high of $31 Million in connection with the breach response. (Privacy Compliance & Data Security)
A bartender is just a pharmacist with limited inventory
Reasonable Way to Deal with Dead Data?
• Keep the dead daisies forever
• Chuck all daisies tomorrow
• Have people decide
• Have technology decide
• Have technology and people decide

Those who can count and those who
can’t.”

Technology v. Manual Review
This work presents evidence supporting the contrary position: that a technology-assisted process, in which only a small fraction of the document collection is ever examined by humans, can yield higher recall and/or precision than an exhaustive manual review process, in which the entire document collection is examined and coded by humans.
“Technology-Assisted Review in E-Discovery Can Be More Effective and More Efficient Than Exhaustive Manual Review” Maura R. Grossman, JD., Ph.D. and Gordon V. Cormack, Ph.D.
“I don’t want to achieve immortality through my work, I want to achieve it through not dying.”
Woody Allen
What Do Regulators & Courts Think?
“Computer-assisted review appears to be better than the available alternatives, and thus should be used in appropriate cases. While this court recognizes that computer-assisted review is not perfect, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure do not require perfection…counsel no longer have to worry about being the “first” or “guinea pig” for judicial acceptance of computer assisted review.
- Judge Andrew Peck , Moore v. Publicis Groupe, February 22, 2012
I used to be indecisive. Now I’m not sure.
“If 2012 was the year of predictive coding or technology-assisted review, 2013 and ’14 seems to be the year of information governance.… it really would be helpful if systems were in place to get rid of the junk. Get rid of the ‘what time are we going to lunch’ emails that nobody bothers to delete, because that would help reduce the effort and cost of discovery whenever it’s needed.”
- Judge Andrew Peck , Legal Tech NY, January 2013
What Do Regulators & Courts Think?

War does not determine who is right – only who is left.
According to Gartner, Cloud Services will be $102 billion in 2012
Rules to live by:
1. Stop keeping everything forever.
2. Clean up the past to gain business efficiency.
3. Keep only what you can access, and be sure you can access what you keep.
4. Create an enterprise – wide information governance team.
5. Strive for reasonableness, not perfection.
6. Policy must come before technology.
7. Don’t expect to totally control your cloud provider.
8. Manage information from creation to disposal using big bucket rules.
9. Automate information management and take the responsibility away from employees.
10. Don’t live in fear of discovery – be prepared with a discovery response plan.
The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on the list.
