Easy-to-Use Collection Technology Leads to Lower e-Discovery Costs
Corporate legal departments today are feeling the squeeze. The proliferation of discoverable data stored in far-flung locations and on all sorts of personal mobile devices complicates the e-discovery process. Even the first preservation step of identifying all the potential custodians and their data sources is more involved now, with data being stored on document collaboration sites, e-mail servers and social media in the cloud. Compounding this challenge is the increasing pressure corporate legal teams feel to be accountable for their department's litigation spend.
Corporate legal departments are all about cost control and efficient processes, yet when hit with a new investigation or lawsuit, legal teams often reflexively fall back on the “collect everything” mentality. The emergence of targeted and remote collection technologies now makes it possible for corporations to collect in a legally defensible way that reduces cost and minimizes business disruption. One key is to be sure that the collections process is tightly linked with a highly defensible legal hold notification process and preservation best practices. With the right technology and a targeted approach to collections, corporations can collect electronically stored information (ESI) confidently and affordably.
