InContext January 2008
The e-newsletter for information, records and content management professionals
Welcome to the first issue of InContext for 2008! 
E-disclosure/e-discovery is on the top of our agenda this issue. There's certainly a lot of misinformation around on this subject; our advice is: don't panic but do get your house in order.
Also we reveal some startling results from an independent survey 'Document Mayhem in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ and we take look at an innovative 'sandpit' that's helping a UK Central Government department shape its own EDRM requirements.
As always, we'd love to hear what you think of InContext so please contact us with your ideas on future content.
Regards
David Oates
Vice President, EMEA

Not so for one forward-thinking Central Government department: it is raising awareness amongst its staff of EDRM best practices with its very own sandpit!
