eDiscovery is rapidly becoming a top-of-mind business consideration for even the smallest of companies. An organization facing the prospect of responding to an eDiscovery request has three options:
-
Do nothing.
-
Satisfy the request by looking for required content on backup tapes, file servers, local PST archives, laptops, smartphones, employees’ home computers, and so on in the relatively short amount of time typically allotted to the eDiscovery phase of a lawsuit.
-
Rely on an already-deployed archiving solution and corporate policies about data retention.
This white paper focuses on some of the important considerations around eDiscovery to which decision makers should pay attention. It provides information about some recent court rulings, the role of the U.S. government in changing the nature of eDiscovery, and advice on how organizations should proceed as they develop their eDiscovery plans.
