Working well together is a skill that most of us learned in kindergarten. However, for IT and legal departments, it’s a skill that they are still learning to master. But according to Recommind’s third annual survey on the working relationship between corporate IT and legal departments, the two departments are getting better about working together.
Works Well With Others
According to the report (PDF), which surveyed senior IT managers at enterprises averaging 17,500 employees, both IT and legal are making e-Discovery a higher priority, which seems to be bringing the two departments together. To be more specific, the report highlights a few promising trends.
In 2010, 54.5% rated the relationship between legal and IT has good or very good. In 2011, 52.1% rated it as such. Yet despite the slight decrease, there are other indicators that the relationship between the two is improving. Almost 67% report that legal and IT are meeting to collaborate or strategize at least once per quarter (compared to 48.4% in 2010) and fewer respondents across departments rated e-Discovery as a low or very low priority than they did in 2010.
