REDWOOD CITY, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 6, 2016) - Actiance, the leader in compliance, security, archiving, and eDiscovery for all critical business communications, today announced that it has joined the Information Governance Initiative (IGI), the world's premier think tank for information management practices. As a supporter of the IGI, Actiance joins in its mission to promote the advancement of information governance strategies and best practices, as well as ongoing education to help organizations manage business information and maximize its value. As part of this new partnership, Actiance and the IGI will host a joint Executive Briefing Series roadshow that will discuss the changing regulations around eDiscovery.
"Actiance understands the new information governance challenges driven by the ongoing transformation in business communications," said Barclay T. Blair, executive director and founder of the IGI. "We are pleased to have an innovative company like Actiance join us as a Supporter. Their solution is a critical part of the mix of technologies that organizations need to take control of their information and ensure it is providing maximum value. I very much look forward to working with the Actiance team."
As enterprises turn to new communications channels, like social media and instant messenger, organizations must adjust collection and preservation processes for eDiscovery to maintain compliance and meet changing regulations. Furthermore, the December 2015 FRCP amendments reiterate the requirement that "reasonable" efforts must be made to preserve all potentially responsive content, no matter its sources, amplifying the need for eDiscovery strategies that address all communications channels.
Actiance, along with Barclay T. Blair and IGI Co-Chair Jason R. Baron, will host an upcoming Executive Briefing Series roadshow. The series will discuss how organizations can identify and preserve new forms of communications to meet changing regulations. The series will take place in the following cities:
- April 5, 2016 in Dallas, Texas
- April 7, 2016 in New York, NY
- April 14, 2016 in Boston, Mass.
- April 19, 2016 in Chicago, Ill.
- May 17, 2016 in Minneapolis, Minn.
- May 17, 2016 in London
- May 31, 2016 in Charlotte, N.C.
- June 29, 2016 in Atlanta, Ga.
- Sept. 15, 2016 in Toronto, Canada
