An article by Katey Wood posted on the ESG-Global website, providing insight into IT spending based on the results of a 2012 ESG survey, the "2012 IT Spending Intentions Survey".
The article states, "Analyzed by size of IT budget, organizations spending at least $50 million were three times as likely as those spending less than $5 million annually on IT products and services to label e-discovery a significant burden (see chart below). This could be because the sheer size and complexity of large enterprise IT environments makes e-discovery burdens that much more difficult, even with purpose-built solutions in place to address these legal requirements."
Graphs are provided in the article, revealing some interesting trends regarding eDiscovery spending, and burdens associated with eDiscovery obligations. The article also notes that Western European based entities are finding eDiscovery obligations more burdensome that American based organizations, "While North American organizations were slightly more likely than their Western European peers to classify e-discovery as a significant burden (17% vs. 16%), overall, 48% of Europeans find e-discovery activities to be an operational burden compared with 45% of Americans. By way of comparison, only 21% of organizations in Asia-Pacific considered e-discovery any kind of a burden at all."
