New eDJ Research Initiative: Call To Participate
Indications are that eDiscovery solution purchases are about to become more strategic in nature. A decade ago, it was not uncommon to see non-competitive bids for eDiscovery business because so many purchases were reactive and made under intense time pressure. In the past several months, however, the inquiries from clients have become more intelligent and more specific – a sure sign that folks are getting ready to make more strategic investments in software and services.

Social Media Discovery: We Are Woefully Unprepared!
It has been a topic du jour, but social media discovery does not seem to be gaining the mindshare one might expect given the explosion in usage of social media. Almost 65% of respondents in eDJ’s social experience survey indicate using external social networks (e.g. Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter) at work. I will not go into the litany of case law regarding the discoverability of social media in criminal and civil litigation. There are many JDs out there more qualified to dig into precedents and what they mean. Suffice it to say that social media is potentially discoverable and ignoring it could lead to sanctions, adverse inferences, and higher than expected eDiscovery costs.

New eDJ Report On Predictive Coding
In addition to the Boot Camp, we have now created a series of research reports that will give the market a good framework for understanding PC and the solutions available. The first report – Predictive Coding: What You Need To Know Now – is now live on the eDJ research site. This eDiscoveryJournal research brief, written by Karl Schieneman and Barry Murphy, explores eDJ’s survey results and market research into Predictive Coding and its impact on eDiscovery and Information Governance practices. The brief is aimed at eDiscovery professionals seeking to understand how Predictive Coding works in the review process and what to consider before making decisions on which Predictive Coding solutions to utilize.

Return Of The Information Server?
Information Governance (IG) is an incredibly complex task thanks to the distributed ways in which companies create and store information. The holy grail of IG is centralized management of distributed information assets. Much like the King Arthur’s grail, this IG grail is difficult, if not impossible, to find. Enterprise Content Management (ECM) approaches have not worked and enterprise search has not proven to impact the high costs associated with such activities as eDiscovery. That doesn’t stop vendors from trying to create solutions that will get us closer to finding that holy grail, as I was reminded of during a recent vendor briefing.

New eDJ Report: A Starting Point For Mobile Device Discovery
I did not have a chance to attend the Mobile Device Discovery Boot Camp that eDJ’s Greg Buckles ran recently in Los Angeles, but the feedback about the content has been excellent. Moreover, the issues covered – BYOD, mobile device usage policies, collection and preservation of mobile content, processing and production of mobile content – are some of the most asked-about topics we have here at eDJ. It seems to me that the overwhelming penetration of smartphones and mobile devices has organizations reluctantly accepting the fact that mobile device discovery is a critical need right now.

Reasons People Do Not Use Predictive Coding
After analyzing some of the preliminary results of eDJ’s Predictive Coding survey, I hypothesized that Predictive Coding (PC) would likely gain mainstream adoption in 2013. To date, more than half of respondents have tried PC and are doing so in a systematic way (versus in a purely experimental way). Since just over half of respondents have used PC, there is still a significant minority that have yet to embrace this new approach to eDiscovery and information governance. Our survey data reveals some of the reasons that eDiscovery professionals have not yet adopted PC. While there is not one dominant reason, some of the top factors that keep users away from PC include: Lack of cases that have justified using PC; Lack of comfort with PC technology; and Cost.

The “Social Experience” In eDiscovery
Throughout 2012, social media in eDiscovery was an emerging topic of interest. While most of our clients and readers were not actually collecting and preserving social media often, there was a clear interest in the topic and a desire to be ready when the need arose. Earlier this years, we at eDJ alluded to the fact that we would be expanding our coverage of “social” issues in eDiscovery. By expanding coverage, we do not just mean looking further into best practices for social media collection and preservation; instead, we are expanding the topic to cover more of the “social experience.”

eDJ’s Defensible Deletion Survey Data Available Now For Platinum Subscribers
Many clients have asked for the raw data from eDJ’s surveys and traditionally, we have held those data sets for our own analysis. Recently, though, we decided that making our data sets available to Platinum Research subscribers could actually extend the power of analysis. After all, eDJ’s analysts will look at the data from many different angles, but not necessarily every single angle. Rather than have clients have to ask us for custom cuts of the data, we want to be flexible and allow clients to analyze the data for themselves.
