Eliminating eDiscovery Redundancy

BY Eliot Davidoff
January 31, 2015

As anyone in the e-discovery business can tell you, in-house and external legal teams are grappling with the collection, processing and review of ever-growing data volumes, and costs that increase in parallel. In the Advice From Counsel study released by FTI Consulting last year, a majority of respondents reported seeing data volumes exceeding 20 GB per custodian in their typical e-discovery matters. See http://bit.ly/1ymtnPa. Most participants also expected a continued upward trend in e-discovery data volume over the next few years.

In another recent study, e-discovery managers from the Fortune 1000 specifically flagged the issue of over-collecting data and collecting duplicate data as factors driving up e-discovery costs, compounding the challenge of ever-growing data volumes. See http://bit.ly/1yG4obB.

In response, the use of multi-matter repositories has emerged as a way to eliminate some of the data redundancy legal teams are facing. While it may not be practical to turn back the tide of data generated by employees as they go about their jobs, multi-matter repositories can maximize the value derived from data the first time it travels through the e-discovery life cycle, and avoid the time and cost incurred by having the same or duplicative data travel again and again through collection, processing and review.
