‘Zero Email’ Policy: The Need for a Social Media Discovery Plan

Goodbye, email- hello eDiscovery headaches. ABC News reported in an article on Tuesday that Employees of Atos, a technology company, will be banned from sending emails due to the company’s recently implemented “zero email” policy. Why no emails? The CEO of the company, Theirry Breton, says only 10% of the 200 messages employees receive per day are useful, and 18% are spam messages. Breton believes it will be effective to get rid of email all together and force employees to communicate with one another using Facebook and other social media sites.

Are the days of email coming to an end? Hopefully not, but while social media continues to evolve into a central method for business communication it is more vital than ever to have a social media discovery plan in place.

Tomorrow at 1 PM EDT (Thursday, December 1) Digital Reef will host a webinar of attorneys and experts who will address the hot topic of social media and eDiscovery, while offering insights for preparing a social media discovery plan.
