Cos Struggling To Implement Information Retention Plans

Symantec Corp. has announced the findings of its 2012 Information Retention and eDiscovery Survey which examined how enterprises manage their ever-growing volumes of electronically stored information (ESI) and prepare for the eventuality of an eDiscovery request. The study found the percentage of organisations without a formal information retention plan dropped by half from the 2011 survey. However, even with this improvement, organisations struggle with implementing their information retention plans as only a third of organisations report their plan is fully operational.
