Corporate litigation involves a complex mix of processes, hand offs, analysis, and projects. There are often “too many chefs in the kitchen” and the whole thing can feel bloated, out of control, and inefficient. When you’re forced to deal with large sets of evidence and legal deadlines with what amounts to the health of your organization on the line, it’s no surprise that eDiscovery has gotten so complicated.
It’s also symptomatic of old-school thinking and outdated practices. If expectations have changed and evidence has become increasingly digital, why haven’t our practices evolved to keep up?
In the end, many organizations are left with inefficient, repetitive, and costly ways of dealing with litigation. Yet, with the technology available today, there’s no reason they can’t take back control of eDiscovery and change it from a burden to an advantage.
Technology lets you take back control of eDiscovery and turn it into an advantage.
You can’t tackle eDiscovery alone—it’s foolish to think you can. Your legal and IT teams need the support of technology (like Nuix and many of our partners), service providers, and outside counsel. It’s easy to say “let’s just get rid of one of those to save money,” but the whole process would suffer by doing so.
While it’s hard to completely replace any of these four pillars, you can be smart about how you apply them, and it starts with developing an intelligent, efficient in-house eDiscovery practice to lead the way.
Spearheading eDiscovery
Using Nuix to give you extensive visibility and control over your eDiscovery tasks, you can positively affect the entire process. Instead of dumping masses of information on your service providers or transmitting unnecessary volumes to third-party review platforms, Nuix enables you to assess your cases early on with powerful visualizations and analytics to make fact-based decisions and export only the data needed.
By just taking that one step, you remove redundant data processing, trim review down to the most relevant information, and save money on data storage, transmission, and time.
Taking a Thoughtful Approach
Creating an effective in-house eDiscovery function is not something you’ll be able to accomplish overnight. Our guide, 8 Key Considerations for Insourcing Your eDiscovery Practice, provides you with the guidance you’ll need to plan, implement, and maintain a program that will yield benefits from the start and for years to come.
If you’re concerned about ballooning eDiscovery budgets, the time it takes from collection to production, or even the security of your evidence, take a look at the eBook and think about how it applies to your own experiences.
