Founded in 1987, FMDC has focused on the issues relating to the processing and management of information in regulated environments. Since its inception, FMDC has been at the nexus of regulation, industry and information technology. With projects in over twenty countries, FMDC professionals have gained first hand knowledge of the nuances of the different regulatory jurisdictions and how they impact the use of technology. In the early 2002, FMDC turned its attention to the issues relating to the handling of e-mail, instant messaging and other records in the context of regulatory requirements and litigation.

The advent of laws and rules such as SEC Rule 17a-4, the Sarbanes Oxley Act, State and Federal privacy legislation, industry standards such as PCIDSS and most recently, court rules or guidelines such as FRCP, CCJ-ED, local federal district rules and the Sedona Conference has changed the standards by which companies must manage their information. FMDC professionals work to guide companies through the morass of regulations to find cost effective solutions for the management of ESI.
