  • Dealing with the documentation disaster

    Most documentation goes unread, for good reason: most documentation isn’t worth reading. It is rare to find an organisation where the documentation isn’t a shambles. Most often, you find a mess of documents that are badly written, incompetently edited, at least partly out-of-date, inconsistent, and boring.

  • SharePoint Governance is Data Governance

    Each platform and vertical industry “hires its own.” SAP teams want SAP people. Healthcare teams want healthcare experts. Salesforce teams look for SalesForce developers. Banks look for financial services people. It's the way of the workplace. SharePoint is no exception. Being a “SharePoint person” conveys membership in a deep-dive community of technical expertise that speaks its own language, from farms and site collections to Designer workflows and PowerShell scripts.

  • RecFind putting order in the Court

    Since becoming the first court in Australia to implement an electronic court file (ECF), the Federal Court has been acknowledged as a global leader in the practice of managing electronic court documents and received a number of awards in recognition of this achievement.  Having accomplished the digitising of its Court case files the Court has now turned its attention to the challenge of digitising the Court’s administrative records held in its Principal and eight district registries.

  • My Favourite eDiscovery Tiramisu Recipe

    eDiscovery Tiramisu, a delicious metaphor describing the layers of search applied throughout the eDiscovery process. If you’ve been involved in discovery in matters with electronic documents, you’ll have tasted the usual flavours: requesting documents directly from key people, running Boolean searches and undertaking subjective review to separate the yolk from the white. My recipe adds an additional layer (perhaps the tastiest) to the eDiscovery treat, Technology Assisted Review (TAR) and its evolution to Continuous Active Learning (CAL). A mouth-watering moreish mouthful!
