It’s that time of year when we start looking back to identify the trends of the future. e-Discovery is no stranger to predictions, but it’s still been an interesting year for the search and discovery market. Daegis, a leading provider of eDiscovery solutions, is fortunately here to help us make sense of it all.
Kurt Jensen, executive vice president and chief operating officer at Daegis, offered five predictions for e-Discovery in 2012 based on insights gathered from legal industry thought leaders, ongoing cases and emerging trends among enterprise and law firm customers. To help catch you up on what you may have missed, here’s a brief summary of what we covered in the past year about e-Discovery:
January 2011
- Reports indicate that failure to produce ESI was the most common basis for sanctions. More oversight is needed.
- Two e-Discovery vendors focus on the customer experience in an effort to help their customers benefit from their collaborative and proactive platforms.
- Forensic data collection and review comes to the iPad.
February 2011
- e-Discovery begins to offer scalable and flexible cloud and non-cloud deployments.
May 2011
- More cloud control for eDiscovery.
- e-Discovery strikes a balance between powerful technology and legal efficacy.
June 2011
- Total Discovery, Predictive Coding aim to gives insight before you begin.
September 2011
- Big data, corporate data management made easier.
- Corporate data is more than just email, not all of it is being retained.
- Not all companies know who owns its management, control and governance.
With that, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that much of what has challenged the industry since January is what will continue in 2012 — only with more progress.
Daegis Top Five Electronic Discovery Predictions for 2012 include:
1. Leveraging Knowledge Gained In Prior Reviews Saves Time, Brings Consistency
Jensen says that 2012 will bring changes for how law firms utilize knowledge gained during reviews. Such changes include bringing more consistency across platforms (what is redacted in one document, should be redacted in another, etc), as well as new ways to “repurpose and leverage attorney intellectual capital across multiple matters” which will help cut costs and save time. To make these changes possible, companies will need to use purpose-built repositories and master databases so that review decisions made in one matter can be leveraged in subsequent matters any number of ways.
