There is an upcoming webinar on December 5th, from 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm ET, that may be of interest to legal professionals with a focus on eDiscovery. The webinar, titled ‘Streamline and Save: Smart ESI Collection Strategies for eDiscovery’, seeks to address a notable challenge in their field: the over-collection of electronically stored information (ESI) during an internal investigation or litigation event.
It appears that the webinar will provide strategic advice on targeted ESI collection in order to prevent the issue of over-collection. For those who are unfamiliar, ESI can range from emails, documents and presentations to databases, voicemails, audio and video files, social media, and websites. The typical tendency to gather excessive amounts of data often results in an overflow of information during the review cycle. This can lead to high review costs, less proficient manual processes, and unnecessary storage costs.
The ‘Streamline and Save’ webinar is set to be an informative session discussing how to implement properly targeted ESI collection. By doing so, companies and law firms could possibly save time, human resources and costs. This would enhance the efficiency at which legal professionals conduct investigations, manage lawsuits, and more importantly, it would better position them in proceedings.
The webinar is organized by EDRM (Electronic Discovery Reference Model), adding a layer of credibility due to the organization’s renown in providing practical resources to improve eDiscovery and information governance. It suggests that the content will be insightful not only at a theoretical level, but also in terms of practical implementation.
Overall, legal professionals handling eDiscovery processes should consider attending this webinar to learn how to improve their current ESI strategies, and, by extension, their cost and time efficiencies.
