Survey Says… Information Governance and Predictive Coding Adoption Slow, But Likely to Gain Steam as Technology Improves

An article by Matthew Nelson appearing on the e-Discovery 2.0 blog.

This article discusses the recent Legal Tech conference in New York, and provides insight into survey results from information gathered at that event.

The article discusses two key current topics related to eDiscovery, predictive coding and information governance.

The article states, "Although 84% of respondents are familiar with the term information governance and 73% believe that an integrated information governance strategy is critical to reducing information risk and cost, only 19% have implemented an information governance solution. These results beg the question, if information governance is critical, then why aren’t more organizations adopting information governance practices?"

The article further states, "Much like the term information governance, most respondents were familiar with predictive coding technology for electronic discovery, but the survey results indicated that adoption of the technology to date has been weak. Specifically, the survey revealed that while 97% of respondents are familiar with the term predictive coding, only 12% have adopted predictive coding technology. Another 19% are “currently adopting” or plan to adopt predictive coding technology, but the timeline for adoption is unclear."  A link to the survey results is provided in the article.
