We may not be focused on the right technology to streamline eDiscovery, according to a blog post from Trustpoint.One.

As Trustpoint.One discusses in their latest blog post (Are We Focused on the Right Technology to Streamline eDiscovery?, available here), everyone is talking about generative AI these days. Its impact on society overall is potentially transformative. Its impact on eDiscovery is also potentially transformative, especially as it relates to streamlining review. However, concerns about hallucinations with generative AI models have caused eDiscovery professionals to be cautious about how to approach rapidly evolving technologies like generative AI and large language models (LLMs).

Not only that but streamlining review doesn’t streamline other costs leading up to review – like collection and hosting.

To streamline any life cycle – including the electronic discovery life cycle illustrated in the EDRM model – the best place to start is at the beginning. And the beginning is where the data lives.

To streamline from where the data lives, you must understand the data you have, which requires the data to be indexed in place. Indexing the vast variety of your organization’s data in place might seem like a goal that’s out of reach, but the technology exists today to index data across your organization and access it from a single platform.

So, what are four organizational benefits of indexing in place? And what are five ways that indexing in place helps streamline eDiscovery? Find out here, it’s just one more click! There’s no AI needed to find out that we may not be focused on the right technology to streamline eDiscovery! 😉

So, what do you think? Is your organization using indexing in place to help streamline your eDiscovery workflows? Please share any comments you might have or if you’d like to know more about a particular topic.
