I know it's going to be a great day when I learn a new phrase that makes me smile: The Goat Rodeo.  What does this have to do with electronic discovery?  I went to Wikipedia and looked up Goat Rodeo and was directed to Goat Tying.  After reading the description, I have to admit it's a pretty apt description of the electronic discovery process! 

Authors Ganesh Vednere and Nishan DeSilva detail out the process and obstacles companies go through when ediscovery looms (view article for full details):

• Companies don't know where their information lives.
• The amount of data is skyrocketing!
• Panic mode - Let the goat rodeo begin!!!
• IT and legal departments speak different languages.
• Information is everywhere.  Information in an organization resides everywhere.
• The ediscovery marketplace is rapidly maturing...but organzations continue to struggle.

But there is hope.  A "7-Step Strategy to Win the Goat Rodeo" has been created to help you chase down and tie up your ediscovery.  Vednere and DeSilva give you step by step instructions on how to wrangle your goat properly.  So hop on over to AIIM's ERM section and take note, you don't have to let ediscovery get your goat!
