eDiscovery Still New For Legal Staff
I came across an article here recently where a Pittsburg lawyer comments that “E-discovery is one of the hottest areas in law. This isn’t something that is yet taught in law schools. Many firms are just now starting separate departments for e-discovery.”
We’re a good three years into the eDiscovery “craze” and the fact is that our legal community is somewhat slow to come around (apologies for the broad generalization here…I know many genius legal minds working hard to advance the efficient eDiscovery paradigm). For every innovative lawyer I meet, there are two that say their firms want to make eDiscovery harder and more vague so they can argue inaccessibility. That’s just lazy.
With the right solutions in place, organizations can elminate the nightmare of backup tape restoration, rounds and rounds of legal battles over who should pay to collect hard to get data, and the burn out of the IT staff that have to actually carry out the work.
Mimosa has customers for email archiving, file archiving, and eDiscovery that report huge ROI simply because they can conduct efficient eDiscovery – avoiding sanctions, saving time, and getting benefits like better application performance of systems like MS Exchange.
Let’s get the legal community onboard – the ship is leaving the dock…
