e-Discovery is the process of identifying, locating, securing and producing information and materials for the purpose of obtaining evidence for utilization in the legal process. The term is also used to describe the process of reviewing all materials which may be potentially relevant to the issues at hand and/or which may need to be disclosed to other parties, and of evaluating evidence to prove or disprove facts, theories or allegations. There are several ways to conduct discovery, the most common of which are interrogatories, requests for production of documents and depositions. Today companies must prepare for the inevitable of such request through litigation readiness .
A litigation readiness solution can be achieved through a comprehensive records, retention, disposition and legal hold management strategy, built using key enterprise content management components that address content lifecycle management (including content held in Microsoft SharePoint environments),records management, and email management.
According to Gartner, “Enterprises are continuing to acquire e-discovery tools tactically but are increasingly guided by a strategic framework. Those vendors that have capabilities across the discovery spectrum (from identification through production) will be best positioned to take leadership of the e-discovery market. E-discovery projects are being seen in the context of an overall information governance or enterprise information management strategy.”
