White Paper: Best Practices for Legal Discovery

[sampada.bhat]

Without question, enterprises today struggle with a range of electronic discovery challenges. Recent studies expect Electronically Stored Information (ESI) to grow from 161 Exabyte’s in 2006 to 988 Exabyte’s in 2010, representing a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 57%. The average organization now has hundreds of Terabytes of ESI stored online and many organizations are now passing the 1 Petabyte mark. Much of this ESI is in the form of emails, word processing documents, spreadsheets, presentations and other business-critical, unstructured formats. Not only is the volume of ESI increasing, litigation is also increasing, and 2006 revisions to the Federal Rules for Civil Procedure (FRCP) are obligating organizations to both better understand and present their data earlier in the litigation process. Sanctions associated with these changes are escalating the costs for non-performance, while every lost moment also equates to a disadvantage in litigation preparation.
