چکیده
Despite of the importance of records management (RM) in helping law firms manage legal, financial and organizational risk, many firms currently lack effective RM policies and systems. The rise of e-mail and other electronic content has led to the emergence of separate content silos and duplicative RM processes, increasing cost and complexity.
