Structured data is different today. On September 2, this Sapling Data webinar will discuss why modern structured data requires a new discovery approach!

On Wednesday, September 2nd, eDiscovery Today will host the Sapling Data sponsored webinar Beyond Excel: Why Modern Structured Data Requires a New Discovery Approach (available here) at 1pm ET (noon CT, 10am PT). In this educational webinar, our panel will examine why structured data requires a fundamentally different approach than traditional document discovery and how AI can be leveraged to gain insights into structured data like never before.

We’ll also discuss the hidden risks of relying on Excel for complex investigations and explore why “structured data in, structured data out” has become an essential best practice for preserving data fidelity throughout the discovery process.

Topics Include:

• Why structured data requires a different approach than traditional document discovery.
• The hidden risks of relying on Excel for complex investigations, including data manipulation, loss of relational context, and scalability limitations.
• Why the principle of “structured data in, structured data out” is essential for preserving data fidelity and defensibility.
• How legal and eDiscovery professionals can work more directly with structured data while reducing reliance on outside technical specialists.
• Best practices for collecting, analyzing, and producing structured data from enterprise systems, SaaS applications, and modern messaging platforms.
• How AI is being leveraged to gain insights into structured data and what organizations can do today to prepare for the future.

I’m excited to be part of a terrific panel discussing these topics! Joining me will be Richard Sayles, Founder, Product, and Analytics Chief at Sapling Data; Victoria Stranczek, Associate at Reed Smith LLP and Lane Spears, Senior Consulting Expert at Veracity Forensics LLC! This is a terrific combination of legal, eDiscovery and forensic experts to discuss today’s challenges associated with structured data and how to address them!

Let’s face it: As organizations rely on increasingly complex business applications like Salesforce, ERP systems, HR platforms, collaboration tools, and mobile messaging, legal teams are being asked to investigate and produce structured data more frequently than ever before. Yet, in an era where AI is transforming eDiscovery workflows, many workflows for structured data still depend on spreadsheets that were never designed to preserve the relationships, integrity, and scale of modern enterprise data. Register here to learn why modern structured data requires a new discovery approach on September 2nd!
