Our Insights on eDiscovery

Mother Nature has dealt this part of the world a tough couple of weeks. First, Hurricane Harvey hit the Gulf Coast, causing major damage and flooding in Houston and other areas. Then, this past weekend, Hurricane Irma has caused major damage in the Caribbean and in Florida and is continuing to wreak havoc to other parts of the country as we speak. If you’ve been affected by the recent hurricanes, here is one way that CloudNine is offering to help.

I keep thinking that all attorneys, especially those in large corporations, large law firms and federal agencies, understand best practices associated with performing redactions. Once again, I find that is evidently not the case.

One of my favorite legal blogs is the LawSites blog by Bob Ambrogi. Bob is a prolific blogger who writes several posts a week, not only on his LawSites blog, but also on MediaLaw, and he co-authors Law.com’s Legal Blog Watch, and cohosts the weekly legal-affairs podcast Lawyer2Lawyer. And, he’s been doing it since 1993 (wow!). Bob has also been keeping track of states that have adopted a duty of technology competence and he just reported that Nebraska has become the twenty eighth state to do so.

Do you have a favorite eDiscovery blog? Or a favorite general legal blog? If you do, here’s a chance to see it recognized as one of the best.

In my webcast discussion with Tom O’Connor yesterday, we had a terrific discussion of several pros and cons of both on-premise and off-premise (cloud) eDiscovery technology solutions as well as other factors to consider.

When consumers are considering their eDiscovery technology choices, there are more factors to consider today than ever. In addition to considering the functionality of the software application, you now also have to consider whether to buy or “rent” the application, how the software is delivered to you and whether it’s required to be within your firewall or can be an off-premises solution. Today at noon CST (1:00pm EST, 10:00am PST), CloudNine will conduct the webcast On Premise or Off Premise? A Look at Security Approaches to eDiscovery.
