Migrated from eDJGroupInc.com. Author: . Published: 2013-04-04 11:09:59 Sometimes I feel truly blessed to be working with an amazing team of people at the eDiscoveryJournal. Over the past year, many people told me that they wanted a new a new type of educational experience as compared to the big box events with the standard talking heads. From this feedback, the eDJ team came up [...]

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.

Published: 2013-04-11 08:30:25 Although not the core subject of any of the panels at the San Francisco Today’s General Counsel Institute (TGCI) “The Exchange” event, eDiscovery education continually came up throughout the discussion. I have been attending these events for the last several years and eDiscovery education – or lack thereof – comes up at nearly every one [...]

Published: 2013-04-11 08:55:38 The eDJ team speaks at a lot of events, webinars, conferences, lunch-n-learns and retreats that all have their pros and cons. Last week I ran our first “bootcamp” on corporate mobile discovery in Los Angeles. The bootcamp concept was to run interactive scenarios on a single topic for 30-60 corporate and law firm participants. I [...]

Later this month – April 30 – I will be speaking at the DOCUMENT Strategy Forum on 4/30 in Greenwich, CT. My session will focus on eDiscovery and the Cloud. Titled, “Out of Sight, Out of Mind: Managing Cloud-Based Enterprise Information for Fast Access, Review and Analysis,” this session will cover what you need to know about conducting eDiscovery with Cloud-based information management solutions.
eDiscoveryJournal’s first Predictive Coding Boot Camp was phenomenally successful. Led by adjunct analyst Karl Schieneman – one of the foremost Predictive Coding experts around, the Boot Camp featured a highly informative Judges Roundtable, a session focused on lifting the covers off Predictive Coding, and a session on validation.
It has been over six years since I left Symantec’s product management team, but that has not kept me from the annual Symantec Vision conference. This year’s theme was the massive “Symantec 4.0” reorganization and strategic overhaul initiated this January by the new CEO Steve Bennett. In the keynote, Bennett acknowledged that Symantec has great individual business lines and assets, but has fallen short of customer’s needs for integrated solutions. I won’t even try to cover all of the changes in leadership, business units, products and road maps. Instead, I will stick to my perspective on the potential eDiscovery impact for current or prospective Symantec customers. Keep in mind that Symantec has never been known for fast and nimble development cycles. I believe that Symantec 4.0 needs to deliver an initial round of functional, coherent offerings in the next six to nine months convince a skeptical market that the changes are working.
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.
