Our Insights on eDiscovery

There’s a moment when every new technology shifts from novelty to necessity. Think about the first time you used GPS instead of printing out MapQuest directions (or, for the true old-schoolers, unfolding a giant road atlas or Rand McNally folding maps). At first, it felt unnecessary—maybe even risky. “I know how to get there,” you’d say. But then, one day, you hit a roadblock, and your GPS rerouted you seamlessly (“re-routing” ring a bell?). You arrived faster, stress-free, and never looked back.

As 2024 concludes, the eDiscovery and legal technology sectors have experienced significant advancements, particularly in the realms of modern data management and generative artificial intelligence (AI). In this article, we will explore what we have learned this year at the various thought leadership and industry conferences, how our innovations have benefited legal teams and how our partnerships allow our clients to have a fully streamlined experience with their eDiscovery and investigation challenges.

Oxygen Forensics recently held their inaugural user summit in Alexandria, VA, featuring a packed agenda of timely, educational sessions addressing today’s pressing challenges in forensic data collections. The event was a blend of technical insights, networking opportunities, and interactive discussions, attracting experts from various sectors, including digital forensics, law enforcement, and legal technology.

On September 18th, I had the opportunity to attend The Masters Conference in Seattle, WA, for my second time, hosted by Perkins Coie. This year, I was struck by how much the technology landscape in eDiscovery has evolved, especially with the rapid integration of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI). While GAI was a major theme throughout the conference, one session stood out for its exploration of the broader challenges faced in modern eDiscovery.

Nashville offers countless reasons to visit, but when you combine the city’s talent and energy with the legal community’s convergence at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center, you create an unforgettable experience. ILTACON 2024 was a prime example of this magic, drawing together a remarkable crowd of over 4000 legal and IT professionals, marking one of the most well-attended conferences in our industry—even pre-pandemic. The week was filled with action, new connections, and insightful exchanges, and I had the privilege of experiencing much of it alongside our new partnership at Oxygen Forensics, stationed at booth 752.
