Over the years, including just recently, I have been asked by potential customers how the Mimosa NearPoint content archive controls the disposition of ESI after it has reached the end of its retention period. Specifically they want to know how the system allows a records manager to approve the deletion of the records. I am constantly amazed at this question.

Contrary to rumors that have been appearing in the last couple of days, Mimosa Systems/Iron Mountain will not be sun-setting any features, capabilities or products. In reality we will be increasing investment in NearPoint solution development and applications, and are adding features and functionality.
For many years now Mimosa Systems has been known in the market for its innovative next-generation solutions for email, file and SharePoint archiving, which are years ahead of the Symantec Enterprise Vault solution.

In Melendres v. Arpaio, CV-07-2513-PHX (D. Ariz. February 11, 2010) (UNPUBLISHED), U.S. District Court Judge G. Murray Snow granted plaintiffs’ motion for sanctions and ruled that the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (”MCSO”) failed to issue a timely litigation hold resulting in the destruction of relevant documents, including e-mails.
In discovery, plaintiffs learned the MCSO shredded relevant documents (i.e., stat sheets) and deleted e-mails. In addition, not a single deponent was aware of their obligation to preserve evidence.

As expected the archiving functionality in Exchange 2010 created quite a bit of a buzz with people and most have been wondering how in reality the archiving functionality stacks up against traditional archiving products like Mimosa NearPoint. Microsoft positions Exchange 2010 archiving at the moment as a Personal Archive and suggests customers who have a strict need for compliance to look at business archiving solutions under which they classify Mimosa NearPoint which offers besides email archiving, advanced eDiscovery, File System Archiving and SharePoint Archiving.

In a recent case; Accessdata Corp. v. ALSTE Tech. GMBH, 2010 WL 3184777 (D. Utah Jan. 21, 2010), the Plaintiff, an American company, sought to compel defendant’s production of documents, including information related to customer complaints and defendant’s technical support of non-customers. Defendant objected to the interrogatories and requests for production on the grounds that they were overly broad, unduly burdensome, and seeking irrelevant information and because “disclosure of information relating to third parties’ identities would violate German law.”

There has been an ongoing argument as to the validity of concept search verses keyword search in discovery searches. The main arguments I have seen are:
- Keyword searches tend to miss relevant documents and are under-inclusive in their search results.
- Concept searches tend to produce too many non-responsive documents and are considered over-inclusive in their search results.

Richard Ellis, manager UK & Ireland, Iron Mountain Digital warned IT departments that ignoring the growth of e-mail data are putting business continuity at risk.
Even with the rise of new collaboration technologies, e-mail remains the blood flow of the business. The faster it flows, the faster business happens and so it is little surprise that e-mail data is growing daily – up to 30% annually according to some industry analysts.
