ECA: The High-End of Legal Decision Support
Migrated from eDJGroupInc.com. Author: Barry Murphy. Published: 2010-01-26 23:07:42 If the term Early Case Assessment (ECA) causes you to roll your eyes and reach for a copy of your JD/MBA buzzword bingo sheet, you’re not alone. ECA is a term thrown around by technology providers ranging from email archiving vendors to actual document review vendors. But, just this once, let the marketing hypesters off [...]
Think Email Archiving Is Dead? Think Again.
Migrated from eDJGroupInc.com. Author: Barry Murphy. Published: 2010-01-30 13:01:03 Much to my surprise, there are many who believe that the email archiving market is dying fast. As evidence, they point to:The introduction of Microsoft Exchange 2010 with native archiving capabilitiesThe struggles of pure-play archiving vendors to compete with larger vendors like Symantec and the aforementioned Exchange 2010The substitution of collection appliances and/or search tools [...]
LegalTech Impressions – Day 1
Migrated from eDJGroupInc.com. Author: Barry Murphy. Published: 2010-02-02 06:39:40 LegalTech New York is appropriately scheduled early in the year.

Implemented well, legal hold can help an organization avoid sanctions and improve both the efficacy and efficiency of downstream eDiscovery activities – collection, processing, and review.
The State of eDiscovery on the Web
The final result was an initial list of 543 sites that met my fairly strict requirements. That means that almost 95% of sites were only vaguely related to our industry or practice. No wonder webinars, conferences and training organizations are getting decent attendance. If you do not already know what you are looking for, your odds of finding it are pretty slim or you are in for a lot of surfing.
LTNY 2010 Part 1 – Times They Are A’Changing
“What positive impact?” you ask. It seems that when times get tough, good companies get busy and the others go out of business. Every booth that I visited trotted out new features, licensing options and a better overall understanding of the customer’s needs. The economic pressure cooker seems to have sounded the wake up call to service and technology providers alike. What impressed me the most was that everyone was able to express a consistent value proposition message. Many still have technology flaws and poor usability, but they are becoming aware of the user’s context and can present their offerings within some kind of usage scenario.
