Miles Archive Service can help!

The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) are a set of regulations used in civil suit court procedures within the district courts of the United States . The most recent amendment, effective as of December 2006, changed the rules of discovery in regards to electronic records:

• Parties involved in civil court proceedings must provide a list of all electronically stored information that might be relevant to the case. Involved parties must also discuss the forms in which this information should be produced.
• The party who requests the information “may specify the form or forms in which electronically stored information is to be produced.” This can lead to a request for specific formats.
• Archived information produced in civil proceedings must be proven to be secure.

Miles Archive Service provides:

•  A thorough infrastructure evaluation and a recommended plan to more completely meet the requirements of the Federal Rules

•  Complete information archiving using technology that has an average lifespan of 100 years. This includes archiving of email, instant messages, ERP databases and other enterprise applications, office documents, etc.

•  Timely archival updates, depending on your company's individual needs

In order to meet the new obligations of the Federal Rules, companies need to be aware of what information they have, and be able to access it readily should the need arise.
