The 21st Century Water Cooler: Discovery and Text Messages | Butler Snow LLP - JDSupra As a first step in managing the risk of text messages in a company, it is important to evaluate the extent to which employees use text messages as a business communication tool. This is particularly important in organizations that have adopted a “bring your own device” approach to mobile device management, as the company must enumerate its rights with regard to company data on the personal device. Even companies with no “bring your own device” policy must have policies in place to address the use of personal devices for work purposes. If employees are using text messages for any business purpose, the company’s document retention policy must address text messages. The company’s policy may prohibit text messaging using company-owned mobile devices, or it may provide for retention similar to that for email. In any event, if the company is aware of any text messaging among employees – or the potential for such communication – the document retention policy should address text messages. http://bit.ly/1sOacu6 Source: http://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/the-21st-century-water-cooler-discovery-41598/ See if people are clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/1sOacu6+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: https://bitly.com/pages/sidebar To view the list archives go to: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=RECORDS-MANAGEMENT-UK To unsubscribe from this list, send an email to [log in to unmask] with the words UNSUBSCRIBE RECORDS-MANAGEMENT-UK For any technical queries re JISC please email [log in to unmask] For any content based queries, please email [log in to unmask]
