Searching For eDiscovery Cost Control

Search Products Play A Small But Important Role

by Brian W. Hill, Leslie Owens

with Matthew Brown, Charles Coit


Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Search is a critical component of the eDiscovery process, but search in the context of litigation differs from other enterprise search initiatives. As escalating volumes and types of information drive ballooning eDiscovery costs, many are exploring how information retrieval technology can support critical steps in the eDiscovery process. Enterprises Forrester surveyed use a grab bag of search tools and techniques for litigation or regulatory inquiries. These eDiscovery search approaches run the gamut in terms of sophistication, accuracy, and defensibility. Information and knowledge management (I&KM) professionals should collaborate with IT, legal, and business teams to understand how search technology can help cut eDiscovery costs and mitigate legal risk.
