eDiscovery
Our practice covers eDiscovery and GRC (Governance, Records Management, and Compliance). We analyze technology and trends in these active and growing categories, and communicate their impact on the enterprise and its outside law firms.
Corporations are actively looking for technology to help them meet GRC and eDiscovery demands while controlling costs, and will demand that their outside law firms do the same. By forming interdisciplinary teams at the corporate level to research related solutions, the enterprise will help to drive technology development past specific litigation concerns. Litigation will remain the most significant pain point, but GRC benefits directly from eDiscovery-driven development and is not far behind. As analysts, we influence Legal and IT decision-makers in the enterprise as they look to eDiscovery technology tools.

Effective eDiscovery Strategies for Legal and IT
Iron Mountain is one of the premiere vendors for helping organizations establish a company-wide electronic records retention program and for providing the services and solutions to facilitate that program. In turn they deliver the benefits of records retention to critical business processes throughout the enterprise. This kind of proactive work can be a hard sell in the face of reactive demands and current constraints on capital expenditures. But it is far better to manage records and information proactively than in response to compliance breaches or litigation.
Successful eDiscovery Starts with a Strong Foundation
Doing eDiscovery right from the beginning is hard to do. There are several factors contributing to the challenge including a lack of communication between IT and Legal, budget concerns, difficulty issuing large-scale legal holds, and the overwhelming task of searching through massive ESI for relevant data. Fortunately for the corporate eDiscovery process, there are ways to overcome these challenges.
