While many businesses feel they are not required to adhere to these standards, recent changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP), impact how data is stored and brings new challenges and opportunities involving data storage for electronic records and document management. The changes that went into effect in December 2006 outline how electronic documents can be used to support litigation proceedings, as well as how electronic documents should be handled to support litigation search and discovery.
