Analyst Firm IDC's Key Considerations for Selecting An Early Case Assessment Solution

Panelists:

Vivian Tero, Program Director, IDC
Steve Akers, Founder and CTO, Digital Reef

Early case assessment is a conflict management process designed to facilitate informed decision making at the early stages of a legal matter. Early case assessment is a collaborative process between the in-house counsel, outside counsel, and the business client. At the outset of a litigation event, this team assembles the pertinent information to make as informed and disciplined a decision as possible at that time concerning the handling of the legal matter, whether by negotiation, mediation, dispositive motion, trial, or otherwise, despite imperfect data and without engaging in formal discovery.

In this webinar, IDC presents the findings of the IDC Marketscape on stand-alone early case applications. Highlights include:

• ECA Applications: Definition and Core Technical Functionalities
• Evolution of the ECA Application Use Cases Along the EDRM
• Automating eDiscovery and ECA Practices: Technical Architecture Considerations
• Tips on Designing the RFP During the Vendor Selection Process

EDiscovery Journal Report and Survey Results: Hosted eDiscovery; Adoption, Use and Results

Panelists:

For eDiscovery, the cloud and SaaS have been heavily utilized, but present new and interesting questions around security and chain of custody. There are a new breed of providers offering various forms of cloud computing and delivery models like SaaS.

In this webinar Barry Murphy, Co-founder & Principle Analyst of eDiscovery Journal, explores the types of SaaS providers and the considerations those providers must weigh in terms of:

• staffing
• infrastructure

For most companies, information lifecycle management challenges can be overwhelming even to identify and build data maps. Starting small, with key problem data silos, used in discovery response for example, can be a critical component to developing quick wins and ROI metrics that can fuel further federation.

Hear from Greg Buckles, Editor for eDiscoveryJournal.com, and Eric Derk, Director, Disputes and Investigations at Navigant Consulting, discuss:

• How to measure the impact of eDiscovery so that you can make key changes with maximized, documented benefits. See a real world ROI model in action.

• Why technologies today need to offer expedient and federated means to profile content against exemplar document profiles. Learn how through improved search and retrieval, organizations can reduce labor and storage costs. Underestand why phased ROI projections that contain collective buy-in and reward are critical.

• Gain insight into the challenges with responding to discovery and how they can be wildly different from those challenges relating to managing data yet both can be resolved with basic information governance tactics that begin with retention policies and records management data.

• Learn how a unified, cross-departmental approach against those data sources is an essential component to developing a phased ROI approach.

Learn about in-place preservation, selective indexing versus an “index everything” approach, scale, performance, and the elements of a successful collection and preservation program like building an infrastructure to support processes to speed decision making, reduce costs and improve compliance reporting.
