In the final post in their series on mobile device eDiscovery, Cimplifi discusses technological advancements in mobile device collection!

In their post titled (wait for it!) Going Mobile: Technological Advancements in Mobile Device Collection (available here), Cimplifi discusses how available technology to address the challenges associated with mobile device collection is changing, and new providers are entering the eDiscovery market with innovative approaches to mobile device collection. One of those new providers is ModeOne, which provides a self-service framework to enable its clients to easily obtain and analyze vital evidence stored on smartphone and short-message chat applications.

In an interview with Matthew Rasmussen, Founder & CEO of ModeOne, where he discussed some of the challenges and pain points he experienced as a practitioner, which led him to start his own company with a different technological approach.

ModeOne’s approach is to: 1) Focus on targeted collection of the data most likely to be potentially responsive in the typical case, 2) Enable the data to be collected remotely within any network environment, 3) Eliminate the hardware costs associated with the collection kits typically associated with forensic collection, and 4) Provide an ECA tool to enable clients to cull through the collected data to select the data that needs to be moved on to the review platform.

So, what are the benefits of the technological advancements in mobile device collection offered by providers like ModeOne? And how can you catch up on the entire blog series on mobile device eDiscovery? Find out here, it’s only one click! You can even read them on your mobile device! 😀
