In-house eDiscovery Meets Business Challenges

With the majority of business being conducted electronically, information is growing dramatically at a rate of almost 80 percent a year in many companies.  This electronically stored information (ESI) is the frequent target for eDiscovery requests for litigation, compliance, internal investigations or regulatory requests.

When considering bringing eDiscovery in-house, you must consider not only the audience and focus for the application being delivered, but also the hardware, systems, data centers and human capital necessary to deliver the application. For corporations and law firms looking to bring eDiscovery in-house, cloud-based eDiscovery can be very attractive. Cloud-based eDiscovery is less risky, less costly and more efficient than purchasing, installing and maintaining on-premise software. eDiscovery practitioners control the process, data and access without incurring the costs, risks and time delays  inherent in on-premise software deployments or the headaches involved lobbying your IT department to modify your corporate firewall and security standards to allow outside parties to access on-premise eDiscovery software.

Key points to consider when you bring eDiscovery in house:

• Do you want to control your eDiscovery processes and implement them in a repeatable and measurable way?
• Does your budget consider the difference between capital expense (Cap Ex) versus operating expense (Op Ex)?
• Do you have many outside parties (outside counsel, contract reviewers, service providers) who need to access case data?
• How quickly do users (outside counsel, expert witnesses, vendors, etc.) need to be able to use the system?
