ZyLAB Releases New e-Discovery Whitepaper Titled “From Litigation Response to Litigation Readiness”
Whitepaper Notes Solution to Solving the e-Discovery Burden is for Organizations to Properly Manage Information as part of Daily Operations
McLean, VA - February 9, 2010 - ZyLAB, a leading provider of e-discovery and information management solutions, today announced that it has released a new educational white paper (appearing in the February issue of KMWorld Magazine) that outlines how bringing an e-discovery system in-house can lead to improved information management on an ongoing basis. The paper points out that while in-house e-discovery systems are generally implemented to investigate a specific legal matter, more and more organizations are looking for a solid and robust foundation from which to pursue proactive, enterprise-wide objectives for information management.
Whitepaper Section Highlights
Take Control of Your Information Now- Organizations are starting to deploy information management software to help them respond to a specific legal matter now and prepare for future litigation
- The best e-discovery solutions incorporate true information management capabilities so that an organization may assess a case as early on as possible
- The best systems automate the more administrative aspects of the e-discovery process (e.g. legal hold workflow, intelligent collections and preservations)
- E-Discovery solutions must be able to easily extend to everyday information management initiatives
- High recall, coupled with filtering and de-duplication tools, is paramount for e-discovery technology because it gives outside counsel the assurance that they have all the facts
- Everyone wants to reduce outside counsel’s risk of court sanctions, fines and negative verdicts
- Executives always have an eye on the bottom line, and as a result, they may demand more proactive and pragmatic information management solutions instead of draining significant resources to defend specific legal matters
- E-Discovery places an enormous burden on IT departments – automation and preparation
- While in-house e-discovery systems are being implemented to investigate a specific legal matter, more organizations are looking for a solid foundation to improve overall information management
- Proper information management initiatives may be based upon principles similar to e-discovery, but it often requires additional technology, procedures and user training
- Information management involves not only archiving, but also the implementation and enforcement of retention and disposition schedules
- In the end, one will become litigation ready by making litigation response as unobtrusive as any other daily operating procedure
