Nuix eDiscovery: Where are we going in 2012?

An article by Eddie Sheehy posted on the Nuix.com website.

The article discusses some projected future trends regarding eDiscovery and information governance.

The article provides an interesting statistic, "The world's computers and their users now generate 15 petabytes of new information each day."  A footnote is provided in the article to the source of this statistic.

The article looks at several topics, and provides a discussion regarding each.  The article examines the following items:

• Big Data: the information explosion reaches a critical point 
• Information governance to come of age in 2012 
• The convergence of eDiscovery and information governance 
• The opportunities for eDiscovery experts

The final topic that article examines is, "In Short - Less is More".  The article states, "2012 will be the year that organizations start to come to grips with Big Data, and eDiscovery professionals realize they're placed perfectly to help their companies do it. Over the next 12 months, organizations that change the way they manage their data significantly will avoid the risks and costs of information overload and lay a strong operational foundation for the future.

The "keep everything" approach is clearly no longer workable. The "less is more" view of data management will become the norm."
