Key Considerations for Deploying E-Discovery Software in the Cloud

Because e-discovery—and the technologies that support it— is subject to sensitive legal risks and technical complexities, selecting the optimal deployment model is not always as straightforward as might first appear. Posted May 23, 2013

"In October 2012 when Hurricane Sandy struck New York City, the New York eHealth Collaborative (NYeC) was as ready as an organization can be, given that the storm was considered a "500-year" event.

Cloud vs. Appliance: Comparing Total E-Discovery Cost

An ongoing debate among e-discovery professionals is over which is the better platform for hosting document search and review: the cloud or a local appliance. Among those who favor an appliance, a common argument is that bringing e-discovery in-house will reduce costs. But will it? One way to find out is to analyze the total cost of ownership (TCO) of cloud-based and appliance—based e-discovery platforms. Only by laying out all of the expenses required to support an application-including infrastructure, technology, staff and ongoing operational expenses—can one accurately evaluate its cost. . . .

Why the Smart Money Checks the Analytics Engine

Three elements characterize superior preparation for e-discovery: good document housekeeping; precise extraction and distillation capabilities; and unified workflow from the left through to the right of the EDRM model. This article talks about the latter two, but it's useful to quickly touch on housekeeping. Good housekeeping means saving, and properly categorizing, only what makes sense from the practical, regulatory, and legal points of view. The cleaner the corpus of documents, the better you are able to respond as discovery progresses through early case assessment, review, production and litigation. . . . Posted January 29, 2013

The Future of Mobile E-Discovery

In the business world, the use of mobile devices such as smartphones, cell phones and tablet devices is proliferating. This presents enormous challenges for attorneys who oversee electronic discovery (e-discovery) for organizations.

As of February 2012, 88% of American adults have a cell phone, 46% have a smartphone, 57% have a laptop, 19% have an ebook reader and 19% own a tablet, according to Mobify (mobify.com). Mobile devices are growing increasingly sophisticated, and the market shows no sign of slowing down.. . . . Posted January 29, 2013

The New Axiom of Computer-assisted Review

Offering legal teams a forward-thinking solution to the problem of big data, the topic of computer-assisted review is the conversation du jour in the e-discovery marketplace. There's good reason for that. According to a recent Rand Corporation survey, document review is the single most expensive step in the discovery process. Logically, the option to reduce time wasted on irrelevant documents can make a big difference in any case, particularly on costs. Therefore, when it comes to document review, legal teams see huge value in the ability to quickly separate the wheat from the chaff. . . . Posted January 29, 2013

Who's NOW In Charge of Information?

The balance—and I could call it tension—between the corporate legal counsel department and their IT/technology counterparts has never been greater. Nor has the need for cooperation between them ever been greater. That was my opening gambit in this month's KMWorld White Paper opening article. It is not unknown to me that the role of IT versus ("versus" seems a little strong, but I'll get to that in a minute) the legal side of the house has ratcheted up a few notches in recent years. In past years (all of five years ago) it was IT's job to collect and "high-level analyze" (meaning "sort") the various documents, email, financial content, etc. . . . Posted January 29, 2013
