Eliminating Chaos in e-Discovery Preservation Through Technology, Workflows And Automation
Organizations subject to potential lawsuits or investigation require a process for preserving information that may prove relevant to the matter. Yet for many organizations, the preservation process is often chaotic, time-consuming and error-prone. A recent eDJ Group survey found that “almost a third [of respondents] track the [legal hold] process via spreadsheet, while another third don't track the process at all.” This reliance on manual processes creates glaring inefficiencies, and the lack of automated tracking mechanisms exposes organizations to costly mistakes and potential judicial sanctions.
