Huron Legal Hosts Webinar on SharePoint and Social Media

CHICAGO--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Huron Consulting Group, a leading provider of business consulting services, today announced a complimentary Huron Legal webinar focused on SharePoint and Social Media entitled, “Should information governance lead, follow or get out of the way?”

“Should information governance lead, follow or get out of the way?”

“When comparing SharePoint and email, the similarities in discovery and information management challenges are striking: the amount of data people create with it daily, the dependence of business units on its existence to function, its data-rich e-discovery content, lack of search and retrieval features, and lack of ritualized data destruction,” said Jake Frazier, managing director, Huron Legal.

To make matters even more complex, social media channels are just steps behind. Organizations should take the opportunity to create and enforce policy now, before the data is overwhelming.

The webinar, featuring Huron Legal’s Jake Frazier and Charles Ragan will take place on Wednesday, April 6, 2011 at 12:00 p.m. Central Time and will examine the following topics:

- Policies to be employed,
- Technologies to assist, and
- What the courts are saying about the future.
