About IRDM

IRDM is accomplished when archiving and compliance "Information Retention" (IR) solutions are seamlessly integrated with electronic discovery and litigation support "Discovery Management" (DM) solutions. Such an approach is critical to enterprises that wish to better manage the risk of their electronic communication. To realize the full benefits of "IR," corporations need to proactively retain live data such as emails and IM, as well as archive paper and legacy data as electronic records. The next step is to utilize an integrated discovery management "DM" solution that seamlessly accepts this archived data for the purposes of searching, manipulating, and sharing this information during investigative or legal requests. Together, an IRDM solution allows large enterprises to reduce operational risks and costs, comply with legal, regulatory, and corporate governance requirements, and ultimately avoid costly reactive discovery processes and steep penalties.
