Note to Presenter: Present to customers and prospects to provide an overview of the EMC SourceOne family with a focus on ways to lower cost and risk through in-house eDiscovery products and solution.
So let’s start off by defining Discovery…..
Discovery is the ability to identify, collect, preserve, analyze, review and produce information when requested. In the United States, this process is known as electronic Discovery or eDiscovery. In the U.K. for example, it is know as eDisclosure.
Regardless of how you label it, this process is relevant whether its part of an internal investigation, an audit, public disclosure request or litigation.
Therefore, this process of discovering and producing information is relevant regardless of what part of the globe you do business in.
So why is the discovery of electronically stored information such a challenge?
Today, we communicate and collaborate with colleagues and partners faster and more globally than ever.
The volume of electronic information is growing exponentially
The speed at which information is exchanged is faster than ever before
Electronic information encompasses a vast array of formats - from e-mail, to instant and text messages, messages, electronic documents, even blogs and wikis
And this variety of electronic information is exchanged across geographic borders seamlessly as business is conducted
And finally, there are numerous sources of information – laptops, desktops, file shares, e-mail servers, content management and archiving systems, collaboration systems and even USB drives.
In today’s business world, the focus is on the content not the container. We exchange information quickly and seamlessly without regard to where it is stored or managed.
There are compelling statistics about eDiscovery.
89% of companies face litigation … and nearly all companies have some kind of internal investigation or audit at any given point in time.
With average costs of incidents being $1.5M it’s important to have cost containment strategies and repeatability.
Further, the costs of outsourcing, not to mention the resulting lack of control, are reasons to strongly consider deploying in-house eDiscovery technology.
Collection is often a primary challenge in corporations.
IT is typically tasked with performing collections and they face the following two challenges most commonly:
ESI is dispersed enterprise-wide and IT has no/limited visibility into what content lies where
Collection is not done in a targeted fashion thereby leading to high costs (redundant storage of TBs) and liabilities (over-collection means preserving more content than necessary and being responsible for it’s sanctity)
Targeted collection is required for an intelligent collection and resulting processing/culling.
Processing and culling of data means a smart way of filtering out unnecessary/irrelevant information for that specific case or situation.
This requires proper knowledge of that that ESI contains.
Moreover the index resulting from the process has to be light-weight and easy to manage.
Finally, detailed reporting on the whole process is critical to defensibility and transparency.
