Veritas has released a terrific new whitepaper titled Six Trends Affecting eDiscovery in 2024 which identifies trends to address in your eDiscovery practices.

In 1849, French journalist Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr is credited with saying “plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose”, which literally translates to “the more it changes, the more it’s the same thing.” We know it better as “the more things change, the more they stay the same”.

While Karr clearly wasn’t referring to electronic discovery — after all, the emergence of electronically stored information (ESI) was more than a century away — his words describe the current state of eDiscovery perfectly. Trends such as information volume and variety, the migration to the cloud, data protection challenges with data breaches at an all-time high and ever evolving data privacy laws, and technology evolution (with generative AI adding complexity to the equation) are reasons why eDiscovery challenges are continually changing and evolving.

Six Trends Affecting eDiscovery in 2024 provides a page discussion of each of the trends that Veritas predicts will affect eDiscovery this year. It’s “chock full” of interesting links to resources, stats and graphics (including the 2023 Internet Minute infographic by eDiscovery Today and LTMG). 🙂

So, what are six trends affecting eDiscovery in 2024? Find out here, it’s only one click! This report is not only FREE, but you also don’t even have to provide your information to get it – the link is to the actual report itself!
