To help customers align their systems with regulations, leading IT vendors have formed the Compliance and Management of Electronic Information Working Group.

Part of the Internet Law & Policy Forum, the CMEI Working Group will help organizations understand the legal implications of their records, storage and content management as they work to comply with federal mandates.

Working group members include Oracle, Hitachi Data Systems, Network Appliance, Veritas, Hewlett-Packard, Sun Microsystems, Open Text and Plasmon.

The working group has two subcommittees—one working to address a best-practices checklist, the other devoted to ironing out legal clarifications and summaries of regulations—said Harold Collette, chairman of the group and product manager for records management and compliance support at Oracle.

Collette said the working group will deliver best-practices documents within six months.
