May 02,2013 by Masters Conference for Legal Professionals - Chicago

Whether you’re dealing with e-discovery in a new, socially networked world, find your company expanding globally and thus facing international discovery issues, or planning for the future of e-discovery in your firm or company, you know there’s a divide between what is in practice today and where your firm needs to be in the near future. Legal professionals must develop strategies for spanning this e-discovery divide before it expands further across traditional borders, whether physical or technical.

Litigation support professionals and attorneys have a new forum to gather the latest information on e-discovery, data protection, records management and more: The Masters Series for Legal Professionals.

Topics Include:

  • 7th Circuit eDiscovery Update
  • Structured Data: Challenges and Opportunities with Application Governance and Retirement
  • Building and Enhancing Your Information Governance Program
  • Social Media and Cloud Preservation and Investigations
  • International eDiscovery
  • A Cost-Effective eDiscovery Approach

March 21,2013 by Enterprise Mobility Seminar: Embrace consumerization, empower employees and simplify IT without losing control

People demand the freedom to work on the device of their choice. Empowered workers help your business perform at its best. Consumerization is already well established in the enterprise and will drive continued transformation of business and IT models in the coming years. By embracing an enterprise mobility strategy organizations can improve productivity, satisfaction, talent recruitment and employee retention.

Join Project Leadership Associates and Citrix for a free half-day seminar to learn how enterprise mobility will enable you to confidently embrace personal mobile devices at work without compromising enterprise security.

People expect technology at work to be as great as the technology they use at home. The pressure is now on IT to provide people the freedom and flexibility to use their own personal devices, including tablets, smartphones and laptops for work.

How can IT allow people to use the devices they love while retaining the control they need over business information?

Whatever approach an organization chooses to take, a complete, well thought-out policy is essential for embracing enterprise mobility without increasing risk. The lack of a structured mobility policy leaves many organizations exposed to problems such as security gaps, compliance issues and rising IT complexity.
During the session we will discuss:

  • Enabling Mobile Workstyles
  • End to End Mobility Solutions
  • A single unified solution for mobile device and app management
  • And more…



Date: Thursday, March 21
Time: 8:30 - 11:00 AM
