It is the Christmas season. Those of us involved in DRED Law wish you and yours the happiest of holiday seasons. Along with many of the more important traditions that occur, this time of year brings television repeats of classic movies like The Sound of Music. For the past few years, I could not help but think of e-discovery and data privacy while watching parts of this movie. Now, I am not obsessed with e-discovery and data law. I promise you. However, a few scenes from the movie explain in most vivid detail just why the EU has a very different attitude and set of rules towards email and other information that may reveal a user's personal identification. So, this post is for all of you who are not aware, or, are uncertain as to why the EU Data Protection Act is far more strict and penal in attempting to protect personal privacy at work. Their default is, if it identifies a person by name, it is personal and protected by law. In the U.S., if it is about business or on the company servers, it's not protected. Let's see if these bits of dialogue from the movie validate my point and perhaps give you an idea of who, is to blame. Take, for example:

Forecast 2013-Is It E-Discovery Or Business Intelligence

One thing I find baffling about data management is how applications are categorized. I am not referring to classifications like private versus public cloud, or CRM versus Social. But rather, the distinction between Business Intelligence and E-Discovery, and Record and Information Management. BI has been popular and is viewed as a vitamin that can help boost sales and profits. On the other end of the technology spectrum, we have RIM and E-Discovery. When it comes to these unloved step-children of the corporate world, companies usually have to be dragged towards making the investment. These are all pro-active and reactive tools for gleaning knowledge from your data. But while RIM and E-Discovery are avoided, BI is relatively popular. And, here is my argument: Both types of applications are not really that different. Let me explain.
