Reactive & Proactive ediscovery: Get the Complete Solution

The pervasive use of electronic records has resulted in a spectrum of new legal rules regarding the retention and production of information. Organizations that face constant litigation, multiple legal matters with overlapping custodians, are moving from using third-party service providers to in-sourcing the e-discovery infrastructure in order to predict and control costs while reducing overall risk and exposure. In fact, Forrester Research estimates that by 2011, organizations in North America will spend nearly $5 billion on e-discovery technologies.

The business, technology, and legal landscape has changed significantly due to changes to the United States’ Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) that came into effect in December 2006. These rules have  implications for all U.S.- based organizations as well as companies headquartered outside of the U.S. that have dealings with U.S. courts. The implementation of the new rules are forcing organizations to reevaluate the reactive “business-as-usual” approach to legal discovery, resulting in a more proactive approach to e-discovery and litigation readiness projects.
