Federated eDiscovery

Common challenges encountered by corporations in managing their enterprise-wide information:

1. Unnecessary data movement and collection before first-pass review by inside and outside counsel – untargeted, over-collection leads to liabilities, high preservation costs, delays in decision making and inability to make crucial early-case assessments

2. Too much data being outsourced to legal service providers for eDiscovery and hosting for analysis/review – corporations do not have control on in-house eDiscovery and costs are driven sky-high

3. Data is brought over the WAN to central locations for review, analysis & processing – too much network bandwidth is consumed and the infrastructure costs are high

The ideal solution will provide a federated architecture that obviates unnecessary data movement, allows in-place analysis and first-pass review, enables early-case assessments before collection, and enables targeted collection of relevant data. The result is not only efficiency and cost reduction, but also accuracy, defensibility and providing control to the corporation.
