What is context-aware eDiscovery and why is it a modern approach for modern data? We’ll discuss that in this ACEDS webinar tomorrow!

Tomorrow, ACEDS will host the webinar titled (wait for it!)Context-Aware eDiscovery: A Modern Approach for Modern Data (available here) at 1pm ET (noon CT, 10am PT). In this interactive discussion, we’ll explore why traditional eDiscovery tools struggle to keep pace with how work is conducted today and how a context-aware approach can help legal teams reduce risk, improve defensibility, and regain control over modern data. Drawing on real-world challenges faced by corporate legal teams, this session will examine how understanding behavior, identity over time, and data lineage changes everything from custodian identification to proportionality decisions.

Topics Include:

• Why modern collaborative work breaks traditional eDiscovery workflows
• Understanding the Context Gap and why context is the new evidence
• The importance of temporal identity context, behavioral context, and document context to reconstruct “who knew what and when”
• Defining Context-Aware eDiscovery and illustrating what it looks like in practice

I’m excited to be presenting this webinar along with Adam Rouse, Director & Sr. Counsel, eDiscovery Operations at Walgreens, Co., Brandon D’Agostino, Vice President of Product at Cloudficient and Eric Robinson, JD/PMP, Vice President, Global Advisory Services & Strategic Solutions at KLDiscovery! I can’t imagine a better group of people to discuss the virtues of context-aware eDiscovery!

Let’s face it: eDiscovery was built for an on-premise world of static files and email attachments, but today’s enterprise data lives in collaborative, cloud-native ecosystems where documents (including hyperlinked files) are continuously edited, permissions shift, teams reorganize, and context quietly disappears. Yet many eDiscovery workflows still rely on assumptions that no longer hold true in today’s modern data world. If you’re struggling with discovery of modern data, register here to learn how a context-aware approach is the right modern approach for modern data tomorrow!

So, what do you think? Are you challenged by hyperlinked files and other types of modern data? If so, attend the webinar tomorrow! And please share any comments you might have or if you’d like to know more about a particular topic.
