Thank you Eliot Spitzer from the archiving industry
posted in compliance, competition, history, eDiscovery |I’m not going to discuss the whole reasoning why former NY Governor Eliot Spitzer had to resign, however the archiving industry basically owes its massive growth largely to him. We should all remember Mr. Spitzer’s contribution to the email archiving industry as during his eight year tenure as Attorney General, Mr. Spitzer took on the giants of Wall Street - Merrill Lynch, Credit Suisse, and the New York Stock Exchange in cases involving white collar crime, securities crime and internet fraud. Along the way much was said about the mis-management of email records, resulting in many judicial changes to management of email and all forms of electronic records.
Time will tell if Eliott Spitzer resumes a public career or retires to a more private life, but we owe a debt of gratitude for the man who almost single handedly brought attention to email and other forms of electronic communication and brought about the changes we take for granted today.
