Ombuds In Cloud Of Exabytes--Understanding The Ombuds' Digital Trail, Craig Mousin

Mission and Ministry Publications

This article examines Ombuds Standards of Practice as Ombuds increasingly rely upon electronic communication. It first explores the expansion of electronically stored information (ESI) due to the many different electronic devices Ombuds rely upon or interact with including computers, smartphones, and printers. It then reviews how novel legal issues caused by e-discovery--the search for relevant digital documents in litigation--will impact Ombuds. Finally, it offers Ombuds suggestions on managing and controlling ESI while raising the question of whether the International Ombudsman Association must review its Standards of Practice in light of these ESI developments.
