Heads Up: U.S. Businesses Forced to Change the Way They Save Data on Dec. 1

Chris Preimesberger writes on eWeek:

U.S. businesses are going to have to change the way they handle electronically stored information when new federal rules go into effect Dec. 1.

The new regulations, adopted by the U.S. Supreme Court in April, say businesses must be able to quickly find such data when required by the federal court.

That means that every electronic document stored by businesses—e-mail, instant messages, financials, voice mail and all text and graphical documents—must be easily retrievable.
