This new publication provides a much needed primer for understanding the "information technology infrastructure" of organizations. Understanding the infrastructure and technology concepts will enable legal professionals to apply e-discovery legal mandates in order to request and produce "electronically stored information" (ESI). The primer includes important sections in identifying, locating, and managing ESI using computer technology.
Contents include:
- Overview of information technology in organizations and the electronic discovery process.
- Characteristics and "form or forms" of ESI
- IT infrastructure of a company's IT people, hardware, software and networks
- ESI types, file systems and structure of data
- Sources, storage, locations, metadata and concealment of ESI
