Discovery Supply Chain Management
Records Management
Many policy issues that relate to this critical portion of the corporation’s information domain emanate from upstream decisions. Planet Data’s experts conduct a needs assessment to identify areas within the current corporate records management process where we can offer recommendations to reduce overall costs of data retention and storage, and to improve Discovery Management efficiencies. We focus on the review of existing records retention policy, discovery response plans, legal hold and data collection methodology, and the respective roles of each business unit.
Our records management experts average twenty years of litigation and document management experience. Our consultants spend ample time with your team to better understand their needs and requirements. We believe that there is no “cookie cutter” approach that automatically creates efficiencies and cost reductions. The completed Needs Assessment plan is presented with recommendations and solutions for implementation. Planet Data then assists your team in integrating the plan into your corporate infrastructure.

The needs analysis findings are presented to our clients with recommendations on solutions for implementation. After an interactive review, we work with your team to implement the recommendations.
