The document discusses the changing landscape of eDiscovery as corporate clients increasingly manage eDiscovery in-house using new technologies. It notes that outside counsel needs to understand these technologies and changes in order to create value for clients through collaboration, ensuring complete productions, and advising on the appropriate role of tools versus human expertise. Outside counsel that can educate clients and help balance in-house and outsourced resources will be best positioned to maintain strong client relationships in this evolving environment.

Legal Hold and Data Preservation Best PracticesZapproved
The basis for Legal Hold and Data Preservation Best Practices was the exceptional work by the group of presenters at the 2012 Conference on Preservation Excellence, held in Portland, Oregon in late September. The conference focused solely on the area of data preservation best practices. The presenters wanted to address a recurring issue heard at e-discovery events that found only limited attention being given to data preservation; often followed by a speaker blurting out “We could spend an entire day on preservation.” Well, we didn’t spend an entire day — we spent two.
The level of dialogue and depth of discussion on litigation holds and data preservation at the conference was unprecedented. Following the event, at which appeared many nationally recognized experts in electronic discovery and in-house practitioners from around the U.S., the consensus was that the event succeeded in demonstrating that preservation is a unique field of focus.
This Guide on “best practices” continues the goal of helping lead legal professionals on the path to excellence in legal holds and data preservation. Many organizations are working to instill sound data preservation processes and creating awareness internally among various groups of the importance of meeting the needs of the courts. However, few would rate themselves as achieving a level of excellence.
This Guide coalesces the discussions of some of the best minds in electronic discovery to discuss the Aristotelian Ideal of what litigation holds and data preservation can be, not necessarily what it is today. The real opportunity is to take the concepts and apply them in your workplace to achieve the following:
Be better and more confident at what you do.
Reduce your risk.
Lower your costs.
Strengthen your leverage when litigating.
Make your time more productive.
Make your co-workers’ time more productive.
Annoy the courts less.
You are an integral part in advancing the practice of data preservation. The knowledge you gain by reading this Guide is a concrete step in advancing the level of expertise in our community. Together we can improve how organizations of all shapes, sizes and industries approach the task of responding to a preservation obligation while building a valuable knowledge base for all to do better.

DTI White Paper - WHY MOVING TO MANAGED SERVICES NOW MAKES SENSEJessop Fowler
If you’ve not recently reviewed a “Managed Services Model”, I encourage you to do so, leaving traditional discovery practices behind. The traditional model is a Data Security nightmare and will cost you sooner than later. Recent increases in the costs and risks associated with data breaches at major law firms are forcing corporate legal departments to reevaluate how their discovery is handled. Corporations are now discovering the old way of doing things is extremely inefficient, risky and expensive for companies routinely involved in litigation.
What do you have to lose?
• Control - By allowing individual law firms to manage the process, corporations are allowing their data to be moved to various locations, which is incredibly difficult to control.
• Security - There is no way of properly vetting the security of the data if the outside law firm is controlling where the company’s data goes.
• Money - Corporations lose out on the ability to consolidate the work with a dedicated, outsourced provider, as well as the negotiation power of volume-based discounts for the work.
By freeing themselves from this traditional model and turning to a managed service model, corporations can engage a third-party provider to create a discovery management program – saving your legal department time, risk and money.

Legal Project Management: Getting to insight, productivity and resultsKelly Services
With today’s pressure to reduce the cost of litigation while illuminating crucial information, the capture and organization of facts and events require more than legal knowledge or complex technology. They require the skill to assemble knowledge in real time and the capacity to keep teams on the right path.
Ten steps for early awareness and relevance/non-relevance selectionJeffJohnson442
We are thrilled to share that Quantum authored a feature article for the October 2018 edition of the ACC Docket "Ten steps for early awareness and relevance/non-relevance selection” on page 8.
Your firm needs to be committed to protecting information assets, including personal data and client documents. As a trusted advisor to our clients, the expectation is that we are aware of threats and are guarding their data. Data privacy and information security are fundamental components of doing business today, no matter how large your firm is.
In this paper we will look at three specific ways of protecting our clients:
1. Protection through our ability to research and improve intellectual capital
2. Protection through policies, procedures and processes
3. Protection by securing client data
Creating a data culture can transform risk calculation for insurersRed Gate Software
The insurance industry has been predicting the future for hundreds of years. Complex risk calculations involving data, knowledge and gut instinct keep entire fleets and organisations afloat and provides home and business owners with peace of mind.
What some insurers have failed to predict, however, is the speed at which data mastery and digital technology will become vital parts of the insurance process.
James Boother from Redgate partner COEO joins us to discuss the opportunities Data Mastery presents insurers. We discuss seven steps some organisations are already taking to predict future risks with even greater certainty.

Suppliers and consultants regularly make recommendations to their client companies. In many companies, these suppliers of products and services are trusted advisors, often having the responsibility of making a final decision on a project. Even with best intentions, however, the supplier's decision of what is right for the customer is a difficult decision because there is a potential conflict of interest.

Key drivers that influence a Tech Startup’s Software Outsourcing DecisionMindfire LLC
For any Startup, challenges are plenty — from developing a robust business plan with the available capital, followed by setting up a software development team that has the necessary expertise, and subsequently marketing it fast and good enough to beat the competition. But if the entire edifice is heavily dependent on software, either as a pillar or an enabler, possessing the right capabilities holds the key to everything else. And if the choice is made to outsource, enough focus and importance have to be then given towards making the right decision.
2. Informed patients may identify and address symptoms while there is still time to treat them. The
cons: To the untrained eye, symptoms are often misdiagnosed, leading to a host of other problems.
For, outside counsel this scenario is on a parallel track with eDiscovery. Given the pressures on
corporate counsel to reduce expense, the appeal of in‐house solutions is strong – but a mistaken
self‐diagnosis is indeed grave. The proliferation of technologies using simple interfaces that run on
familiar enterprise operating platforms has only increased the allure of in‐house diagnosis and
solutions.
A successful client relationship depends upon counsel’s ability to understand and leverage a
corporate client’s eDiscovery solutions to full potential.
Clients Have Embraced Electronic Documents
Paper discovery is nearing extinction. Its demise can come none too soon for corporate counsel
who for years have observed laborious and costly hours of paper review.
The most distinct changes from paper to electronic records occurred around 2006, when electronic
discovery solutions were developed with corporations in mind, such as Clearwell Systems, Symantec
Enterprise Vault, Mimosa, StoredIQ, Encase Enterprise and others. For the first time in history,
corporations created internal technology departments. This trend shows little sign of abating.
A New Flow of Information
eDiscovery technology managed by corporations now alters the typical flow of evidentiary materials
to a more controlled model, in that records may not leave a corporation’s database at any point
during eDiscovery until production. Without control of eDiscovery management, outside counsel
may receive filtered data sets that inadvertently overlook responsive records. Close collaboration is
necessary more than ever to ensure all are working from the same ratified list of keywords and
search protocols.
With the introduction of corporate‐hosted discovery databases, inside counsel less frequently
employ outside document review and hosting services. As a result, law firms that have set up large
first‐pass document review teams have to adjust their revenues accordingly.
Lifting Anchor in a Sea of Change
Evolution of eDiscovery ownership may not have been foreseen, but should be recognized for what it is
– a change in traditional roles, not an end to potential. There are several strategies outside counsel can
adopt to maintain and grow its corporate client base.
Build and Communicate Unique Value
Given a more eDiscovery‐informed client, outside counsel must now be fully educated on all
available litigation support applications. Counsel should encourage clients to think of
3. eDiscovery tools as blueprints, and that only an experienced architect can ensure the finished
product meets the specific needs of the client now and in the future.
In short, one software application or hosted review platform does not fit all needs. Outside
counsel can play a pivotal role in both the firm’s and your client’s long‐term satisfactions with
eDiscovery tools, reinforcing value by ensuring any and all eDiscovery contingencies have been
anticipated.
Strike a Good Balance on Productions
Agreement on eDiscovery production is essential – it can limit delays and avoid multiple
information requests. By educating clients at the beginning of the process, outside counsel can
prevent the over‐filtering or under‐filtering of data. This is a delicate balance, for sure, as
clients may be hesitant to turn over entire custodial files, such as email inboxes, due to cost
concerns. But by helping a client understand the cost/benefit of well‐planned, appropriate
production, outside counsel can provide an eagle‐eye view that in‐house counsel or an IT
department cannot.
Advocate for Greater Collaboration
Outside counsel, retained for unique expertise and litigation skills, can take advantage of
ongoing meetings with each client to discuss not only status, but broader issues of expectations,
roles, responsibilities and strategies related to eDiscovery.
Whether corporate clients perform electronic discovery in‐house or out‐of‐house, outside
counsel can help clients plan and document the corporation’s litigation readiness policy. This
includes clarifying the IT department’s goals, the parameters of their dedicated eDiscovery
resources, the creation of a data map and the setting of clear‐cut data handoffs.
The evolution of eDiscovery is dramatically changing the relationship between corporate clients and
outside counsel. It will continue to change as eDiscovery technologies advance. Newer and smarter
technologies may, in fact, accelerate a corporation’s reliance on, and confidence in, its eDiscovery
management capabilities.
In this sea of change, a fresh insight and keen understanding of both the eDiscovery process and the
supporting technology can help outside counsel set a new course, delivering distinctive, complementary
support to corporate clients.
