Transcript of eDiscovery Infographic
Electronic discovery, or e-discovery, refers to any process in which electronically stored information (ESI) is identified, preserved, collected for the intent of using it as evidence in a lawsuit, investigation, or audit.
The pervasive use of electronic information has resulted in a spectrum of legal rules regarding the retention and production of that information. Being proactive in your discovery process will reduce cost and risk, and increase control over those processes.
Companies that ignore the importance of e-discovery risk damage to professional and personal reputations, an issue thatshould be acknowledged by everyone from corporate legal teams to IT exectutives to CFOs. The only way to protect your
company - and peace of mind - is to adopt a proactive approach to e-discovery.
