eDiscovery Coming To The Cloud



http://ow.ly/anZPk

An article by Barry Murphy posted on the eDiscovery Journal website.

This article discusses eDiscovery, and the impact that cloud computing is having upon preservation and processing of electronically stored information.

The article states "While companies embrace The Cloud for various business purposes, the ability to conduct eDiscovery on information stored in The Cloud tends to be an afterthought – less than 16% of respondents in eDJ’s survey last year reported creating an eDiscovery plan before moving data to The Cloud. This number is not surprising. eDiscovery is not exactly the sexiest topic in the world and, unless a company has been burned before, there is less urgency to prepare for it. In addition, many just assume that, as long as data is searchable, eDiscovery requirements are met. It is not as simple as that, unfortunately. Recently, though, eDJ was briefed on product aimed at making eDiscovery of data stored in The Cloud possible in an efficient manner."

The article goes on to look at techniques being employed by eDiscovery service providers that are aimed at dealing with data that is based in the cloud.
