Extract from Michael Epstein’s article “Back to Basics (Part 2): Embracing Change Management”
In my previous article, Back to Basics – Part 1: The Importance of the eDiscovery Process Review, we discussed the importance of continually evaluating processes in a world of constant change specifically around people movement and data movement. In this article, we’ll examine technology on-boarding and dealing with upstream data as well as provide some best practices for your eDiscovery program.
Technology Onboarding
According to Go-Globe, 85% of people prefer native mobile applications to mobile websites because of the enhanced user experience which is why many companies are developing in-house technologies designed for mobile use. However, it can be difficult for new users to intuitively know how to navigate a new application which can significantly hinder adoption and the lose control of the underlying data. Organizations should emphasize technology onboarding as part of their roll-out process so that their employees get familiar with the new technology and use it.
The underlying reason we wanted new technology to be onboarded and used properly is to ensure the data is managed to the appropriate policy. As part of rolling out any new technology is considering how the data will be onboarded to the appropriate compliance archive.
