Visualizing the Elements of Retrieval
While elbow deep drafting eDiscovery search guidelines and documentation for a client it occurred to me that someone had to have created a visual depicting the different aspects/elements that comprise enterprise search criteria. I tried Google/Bing/ChatGPT/etc. without luck. Even shot off a hail mary to my retrieval/AI mentor without luck. So I made the fast Venn diagram below (Enterprise Search guide page). Over the decades [...]

First Steps to Leveraging Purview eDiscovery
“What do you recommend to enterprise legal teams wanting to use Purview?” That was my favorite question from yesterday’s eDiscovery Channel chat with Tom O’Connor and Doug Austin.

Peek-A-Boo! Teams File Preview
Users will now see preview images of Teams chat attachments without having to open them. I see the productivity and even security advantages of reducing file access, downloads, etc. The preview functionality does not work for files marked Confidential or that a user does not have access to. It does raise questions that I was not able to find answers for. Image from Microsoft [...]
