Not every workflow can, or should, move to the cloud.
As legal teams, law firms, and government agencies face increasingly complex data landscapes, on-premise processing and review continue to offer unique advantages that the cloud alone can’t replicate. Before racing toward “cloud-only” strategies, it’s worth recognizing the critical needs driving organizations to maintain robust on-prem infrastructure.
Why On-Premise eDiscovery Endures
◊ Costs Controlled With ZERO Hosting Fees
Cloud scalability is powerful, but consumption-based pricing can leave teams guessing.
For organizations managing large collections or recurring high-volume workloads, on-prem infrastructure delivers predictable performance at predictable cost without the risk of unexpected data expansion spikes.
◊ Full Control Over Data
For agencies with strict governance requirements, corporations in highly regulated industries, or firms handling particularly sensitive matters, maintaining absolute control over data isn’t a preference, it’s a mandate by the corporate client.
On-prem solutions allow teams to know exactly where their data resides, how it’s handled, and who has access at every moment.
◊ Secure, In-House Processing
Some data can’t leave the building.
Whether due to security policies, legal restrictions, or internal compliance frameworks, many organizations must keep processing and review fully contained within their own walls. On-prem platforms ensure defensible, auditable processing while minimizing external exposure risks.
◊ Configurable Workflows for Complex File Types
Modern data continues to change faster than many cloud platforms can adapt. From proprietary databases to niche file types to sprawling legacy systems, on-prem environments give technical teams the freedom to tune, script, or customize workflows to handle complexity head-on without waiting for cloud release cycles.
