Summary

Streamline and Save: Smart ESI Collection Strategies for eDiscovery

One of the most common challenges faced by eDiscovery professionals is the over-collection of ESI in response to an internal investigation or litigation event.  The sheer volume of emails, documents, presentations, databases, voicemail, audio and video files, social media and websites often results in excessive amounts of data flowing into the review cycle, which in turn leads to excessive review costs, inefficient manual processes and unnecessary storage costs. But properly targeted collection and preservation initiatives provide the ability to quickly and effectively access and search data sources throughout the enterprise.  This webinar discusses the steps you can take to reduce your collection costs by as much as 90% while also eliminating the risks associated with over-collection.
