Efficient Data Collection is a Stepping Stone Towards a Successful eDiscovery!

Data collection is the first tangible action in the eDiscovery process. Once the identification is done, it becomes essential to collect the desired data effectively and quickly. The relevance, locations, complexity, and amount of data collected directly impact what will be processed, analyzed and reviewed — significantly contributing to the cost and time spent on all other eDiscovery phases. Without an innovative and targeted approach to collection, legal teams may find case defensibility, budgets, and deadlines at risk.

Data collection can be complex and thus require a team of IT, legal professionals, and eDiscovery experts to handle the collection, irrespective of the method. Experienced eDiscovery professionals help understand the data collection complexities like various data types, cons of different data collection methods, etc. IT professionals find out the best ways to collect relevant data without hampering the existing process. Legal professionals will recommend that the relevant data types and information be collected.
