More and more, in an effort to reduce cost and regain control of discovery, corporations are the ones taking on the early challenges of e-discovery, from identification to pre-processing—a challenge that can be daunting if you don’t have the right tools.

In an October 2011 article in Inside Counsel, George Socha, co-founder of the well-known Electronic Discovery Reference Model (EDRM) wrote: “If you build a house with a weak foundation, the building is sure to fall apart. The same holds true for e-discovery—if you don’t pay attention to the early stages and properly calculate from the beginning, you’re in for a world of pain down the line.”

Fortunately, there are tools that can help you “build a strong foundation” during these early stages, by facilitating the management of early data assessment, enabling you to maintain better control over your data and help ensure the defensibility of e-discovery production sets should you find yourself in litigation.

Early Data Assessment Made Easier

LexisNexis® Early Data Analyzer is a powerful data assessment tool that allows organizations to identify, index, filter and search data at the source location—right on your corporation’s network. This enables the identification of responsive data at the earliest possible point in the discovery process to help reduce the amount of data that needs to be processed and reviewed by as much as 80%.

With Early Data Analyzer, corporations can effectively:

• Defend the amount of data that is reviewed and produced during the discovery process.

• Ensure defensibility by generating reports on what documents are being included and excluded in the production set

• Mitigate risk and reduce costs by eliminating the need to move data to a separate storage space prior to processing

• Be confident that you have the most relevant data to prove your case

• Save time and increase efficiency, keeping e-discovery costs proportional to the case

And recent product enhancements - including OCR for image-only files, document tagging, metadata based searching and more- deliver even greater control and convenience.
