3 Ways to Cut eDiscovery Costs




http://ow.ly/6g1LR

An article by Deborah Galea on the Email and Security Compliance website.

This article provides insight into possible ways to reduce eDiscovery costs.  The author points out three key areas to focus on for how to reduce costs:  1) Have a Data Map; 2) Store and Manage Data Centrally; and 3) Use Non-Attorneys when possible.

With respect to the third point, the author points out the following, "Some companies have turned to college-level interns or entry-level employees to search data stores for eDiscovery. However, when doing as such, it’s important the company has adopted an email archiving solution that is role- based (with for instance an auditor role or eDiscovery role) and can be configured to only grant access to areas of data storage that will include information pertinent to a particular case. That will help avoid a data breach that could present costs that trump even those associated with eDiscovery."
