Welcome to the December issue of EDRM Update!
\r\nIssue 4 – December 2013\r\n\r\nHappy New Year!\r\n\r\nThis is an exciting time for EDRM as we reflect on all that our members accomplished in 2013 and as we look forward to 2014.\r\n\r\nFirst, thank you to all of our project leaders and team members who worked so hard to complete a new Talent Task Matrix, Metrics Model, Computer Assisted Review Reference Model (CARRM), Privacy & Security Risk Reduction Model, Collections Standards, Budget Calculators and much more, including new glossaries and white papers.\r\n\r\nThank you as well to our sponsors who helped defray the costs of meetings, website updates and other initiatives. A lot of great knowledge was shared through sponsored webinars; we look forward to hosting more throughout the coming year.\r\n\r\n2014 will be a year of transition for EDRM as we continue to work on important projects and updates while migrating the organization to a non-profit entity. Planning for this change is underway and we expect progress to continue in the coming months with completion anticipated by the annual spring meeting.\r\n\r\nAs the holiday season winds down, we wish you all a happy, healthy and prosperous new year!\r\n\r\nRegards,\r\n\r\nGeorge Socha & Tom Gelbmann\r\n\r\nTo receive the newsletter, subscribe to our list\r\n[contentblock id=1344]\r\n\r\n[toc]\r\n\r\n

Member Profile of the Month
\r\nMichael Lappin, Director of Archiving Technology at Nuix.\r\n\r\nEDRM Member since 2008.\r\n\r\nEDRM Projects: I started in Search, moved to Metrics and then jumped over to Dataset/Testing.\r\n\r\nWhy I’m an EDRM member: I am an EDRM member because it gives me access to the Ediscovery industry’s thought leaders and their ideas. It also allows us all a break from the work routines of our “day jobs” where we can get back to what excites us about Ediscovery and disengage from all of the close competition we have to endure everyday. Finally the culture we have built over the years allows for a ton of creativity and enjoyment. I have made several lifelong friends participating in EDRM.\r\n\r\n
