Solving eDiscovery Challenges In 2012: A New Year’s Resolution



http://ow.ly/85Uv9

An article which consists of an interview by the Editor of Metropolitan Corporate Counsel providing comments from Steve d’Alencon.

This article discusses eDiscovery obstacles that will need to be addressed during 2012.

The article provides link to Gibson Dunn's eDiscovery survey, as well as Kroll's survey, both providing insight into eDiscovery trends and challenges.

The article also touches on challenges associated with "Big Data", and how to properly address this type of data for eDiscovery purposes.

In addition, the article states, "Another root cause is that the very nature of ESI continues to become more complex, not only because there continues to be immensely more of it, but also because the types of data and the number of locations from which to collect data continue to increase. This challenge spans from behind the firewall storage, email, archives, applications and computers, to cloud-based business applications and systems, a dizzying array of social media and also mobile devices, including smart phones and tablet computers."

The article further outlines two ways to improve eDiscovery results in 2012, "...the application of business discipline to eDiscovery and the use of appropriate technology."
