From Wall Street to Silicon Valley, companies in a wide range of industries have seen E-mail emerge as critical evidence in legal and regulatory matters. Motivated by those concerns and the desire to improve data-storage and retrieval capabilities to enhance internal operations, companies are formulating new policies and investing in electronic records management (ERM) technologies to tackle what can be a dauntingly complex chore.
