Wilmar International (F34.SG) is +1.2% at $5.77, outperforming the STI, which is flat-to-lower; the company’s analyst briefing Friday seems to have soothed some fears over a loss of business discipline after its foray into property development.

12 Important E-Discovery Trends for 2011 and Beyond
December 23rd, 2010 |
No Comments
Until only a few years ago, document discovery for litigation purposes was the domain of lawyers, law clerks, judges and other non-IT folks. Not anymore. Since the advent of search engines for word documents, email, spreadsheets, messaging threads, photos, logs, videos and a score of other file formats, IT has been intimately involved in rounding up evidence for legal cases. As the sheer amount of business information continues to multiply in storage arrays& whether they are on or off-premises& it has become more difficult for legal teams to find all the documents they need to prosecute or defend a case. Thus, the e-discovery field has burgeoned with new ideas and products that: a) find the correct information; b) find it within a reasonable amount of time; and c) cut the often staggering costs of having expensive legal teams sift through files one by one.
